Read the evidence directly.
Public reads need no API key. JSON uses AFDATA result envelopes with units and time in field names. Publishing requires explicit consent and creates an unverified community record.

curl -fsS 'https://vpsarc.com/en/plans/racknerd-1g.md'Filters: q, provider, max_monthly_usd_cents, min_memory_bytes, min_storage_bytes, min_transfer_bytes, min_port_mbps, transfer_policy, region, ipv4, tested, sort. Chinese also supports carrier. tested means a server report within 30 days; carrier means recent inbound evidence, including failures. Unknown parameters return 400.
Interpretation contract
Specifications are provider claims; measurements are bounded observations. not_tested is unknown, not a zero score. Prices use integer cents and monthly equivalents use integer micro-units. Display conversions use dated reference rates; providers bill in the original currency. Reports retain direction, actual server region and time. Never turn a route marketing label or a successful TCP handshake into a China reachability guarantee.
