🟢get_monetization_requirements(program, country, include_unverified, include_historical, include_out_of_scope, ...)
FACT. Use this first when you need Snap's published creator-monetization rules themselves: thresholds, country lists, policy text, source URL, verified_at, and effective date. Do not use it to score one creator or to compute a shortfall. For a creator's numbers, use check_eligibility or calculate_gap.
