Credits
Every call is priced in credits, and most calls cost 1 credit. Your account starts with 5,000 free credits, with no card.creditsUsed in each response is what the call cost.
Buy credits
Top up at stophy.dev, from $10 to $10,000 at a time. Credits cost less once your top-ups reach $100, $500 and $2,000:
A first $10 top-up buys 5,000 credits. Your credits never expire.
What a call costs
Each endpoint’s reference page shows its price.
A page that cannot be read costs nothing. A page that comes back with a 404 or 410 status is charged like any page. A scrape answered from a stored copy within
maxAge is free. Crawl and batch scrape charge each page when it finishes.
Parsers
Scrape with a parser costs the parser’s price, and most parsers cost 1 credit a call. These cost more, or count what comes back:
The parser list has every parser’s
price.
What you were charged
creditsUsed in the response, or the x-credits-used header, is what the call cost. Scrape puts it in data.metadata.creditsUsed. Limits shows your balance in credits, and Logs lists recent calls with their cost.
Running out
A call your balance can’t cover answers402 with code insufficientCredits and charges nothing. The x-required-credits and x-available-credits headers say what the call needs and what you have.
