  "raw_analysis": "groov View Public API is a revision 1 REST API offered by Opto 22 (developer.opto22.com), intended for interacting with groov View, the browser-based HMI/SCADA visualization tool that is part of Opto 22's groov product line (groov EPIC and groov RIO edge I/O hardware). The API is aimed at industrial automation engineers and integrators who need to programmatically access or manipulate groov View pages, gadgets, and tag data from external applications, scripts, or dashboards.\n\nMaturity: The documentation is dated 2019-11-21 (Revision 1), indicating the API is a fairly early/first-revision release. It is a niche, vendor-specific API tied to Opto 22's ecosystem rather than a general-purpose public platform.\n\nIntegrations: Primarily integrates with Opto 22's groov hardware and PAC Control/PAC Project ecosystems. Likely uses HTTP Basic auth or an API key issued from groov View, though specifics are not provided in the given content.\n\nPricing: Opto 22 hardware and groov View licenses are commercial products; the API itself is bundled with groov View, so pricing is effectively subscription/perpetual-license-based tied to hardware/license purchase rather than per-call.\n\nLimitations: No endpoints, rate limits, or auth details are exposed in the supplied metadata. Base URL points to the developer portal rather than the runtime API host (which would typically be the groov device itself, e.g., https://<device-ip>/manage/...)."

    "Pricing model unknown — agents cannot state cost to users without research",
