Adem,

There is no simple way to answer this question about legal use of the API without much more details on your use. See this thread.

https://community.esri.com/thread/172234

Your best way to get a 100% answer is to contact your local esri office.

The only correct answer is for you to contact your local esri office and explain your use case and they are the only ones that can give you the answer you are looking for. Simply put we can give you an answer to what we think but esri customer support is the only ones that can give to a definitive answer.

The bare minimum is to sign up for a free developer account.

Licensing & Attribution | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.8

Excerpt:

While you are developing and testing your application, you can use the free Essentials Plan of the ArcGIS Developer Subscription. Before deploying your app in production, you will need to ensure that your application meets one of the following requirements:
Uses data and/or services from ArcGIS Online. Requirements for deploying an app that uses Online are described in the Production licensing requirements.
Uses data and/or services from your licensed ArcGIS Enterprise.
If the app does not use ArcGIS Online nor ArcGIS Enterprise, you must ensure that you have the correct licensing for your use case. If your app is for public, non-revenue generating, non-government, non-commercial use, the free Essentials Developer plan is sufficient. If you're going to generate revenue or are using the app for government or business purposes, you'll have to purchase a paid ArcGIS Online Deployment Plan when you're ready to deploy your app to production (even if your app does not use ArcGIS Online data/services).
As long as one of the above criteria is met, no additional licensing is required when deploying apps built with the ArcGIS API for JavaScript to production.

If your app is being sold for profit, then you would need the ArcGIS Online deployment Plan.

However, If you already have an ArcGIS Online Organization, you do not need to purchase the deployment plan.

See: Terms of Use - FAQ | ArcGIS for Developers

You may be able to supplement buying the ArcGIS Deployment Plan if you have an ArcGIS Enterprise License as well. I am not sure on this.

As Robert Scheitlin, GISP‌ suggested above, it would be best to contact Esri directly to seek answers to these questions. Esri's Licensing can be quite confusing at times.

I hope this helps.

Adem,

To put it simply you are asking for legal interpretation of esri terms of use (no mater how simple you think this question is). The GeoNet community is for providing help advice and code samples, etc from community members and we can not speak for Esri on legal matters. No one is try to give you the run around but what you think is a simple question could actually be a very complex question based on may factors that esri customer support is trained to handle.

Well good luck with that attitude. You have heard my advice, esri JS API Software Developer, and another user but your are unwilling to listen.

Go on with this attitude, i am customer not you. And you lost one already.

Adem,

I am a esri customer (not an esri employee). Strange if your are an esri customer then where is the point in this thread? If you have an AGOL subscription then you would not be concerned about using the API for free, as has already been explained in previous replies.
