Why it shows up like this
Unreviewed registry note: Seeing the entry README.IO* API DOCS on your bank or credit card statement indicates a recurring software subscription charge from ReadMe Inc. for interactive developer documentation hubs, OpenAPI reference portals, and API usage analytics. ReadMe transforms static API specifications into dynamic portals where developers can test live requests directly inside their web browsers.
Unreviewed registry note: This billing occurs monthly or annually based on project subscription tiers such as Starter, Business, or Enterprise plans, which range from ninety-nine dollars to several hundred dollars per month. Software engineering teams frequently subscribe to these documentation platforms for API publishing and overlook automated renewal dates on their company payment cards.
