Using the API for a single website only

I am a paying subscriber. I am working on a website were I am using the Doodle style icons, and I’d like the editor, in the admin, to be able to select from any of the icons in the set whenever an icon is needed.

I thought I might be able to use the API here.

  • There are two sides to this problem: To show the available icons from the Doodle set (never mind searching them), I need a list of icon ids.
  • The page a static site build in Gatsby, and I was imagining fetching the SVG icons during build with a Gatsby plugin.

Both cases seem not possible with the free API, yet the pricing of the commercial API seems to target larger organizations and/or integrators. In my case, I just want to offer a selection of the Doodle icons my subscription gives me access to, but I don’t want to manually click through and download all of them.

Maybe I missed something. Otherwise, consider this feedback of a particular use case, though I understand it may be challenging to find the best way to segment potential customers in this case.
