## Referral funnel

1. User installs OpenOSINT (`pip install openosint` or from source).
2. User reads the Configuration table or tool docs — your API is listed as the recommended provider with a direct sign-up link.
3. User navigates to your pricing or sign-up page.
4. User sets an API key and activates the integration.

## How to add or update a sponsor (maintainer guide)

All sponsor data lives in [`sponsors.json`](sponsors.json). Adding, updating, or removing a sponsor is a **one-file change**.

```json
{
  "name": "Acme Corp",
  "tagline": "Short description of what your product does",
  "url": "https://acme.example.com/?utm_source=openosint",
  "logo": "https://img.shields.io/badge/Acme-sponsored-blue?style=flat-square",
  "tier": "featured",
  "tool": "search_acme",
  "category": "Your Category"
}
```

Then regenerate the README block:

```bash
python scripts/render_sponsors.py
```

CLI banner, Web UI, and `openosint sponsors` update automatically at runtime.
