Standard tier. It adds

and a richer per-item payload (description, cvss_score, cve,
patch_priority, patched_in_ranges, …).
Extended has custom pricing and is activated on request — contact us at https://patchstack.com/for-hosts/.

Every request must include your API key in the PSKey HTTP request header.
Rate limiting
Custom, set per contract. Contact https://patchstack.com/for-hosts/ if you need a quota change.
