Most calls cost 1 credit, new accounts get 1,000 free, and a call that fails or finds nothing costs nothing.

## What a call costs

Of the 110 endpoints, 94 cost 1 credit and 9 cost 2. Seven are priced per unit.

| Cost | Endpoints |
| - | - |
| 2 credits | `amazon.search`, `amazon.product`, `amazon.bestsellers`, `zillow.search`, `zillow.property`, `instagram.profile`, `linkedin.profile`, `google.aiMode`, `google.shopping` |
| 1 credit per 10 images | `google.images` |
| 1 credit per 10 apps | `appstore.search`, `appstore.top`, `google.play.search` |
| 1 credit, plus 1 for each result read in full | `google.search`, when `scrapeResults` is on |
| 2 credits, plus 1 per 10 seconds of audio | `instagram.transcript` |
| 1 credit with captions, or 2 credits plus 1 per 10 seconds of audio | `tiktok.transcript` |

Every other endpoint costs 1 credit, however many results come back.

Each endpoint's price is on its page in the [API reference](/api-reference/introduction). The catalog has it too, as `credits` and, when the price varies, `pricing`.

```bash theme={null}
curl https://api.stophy.dev/v1/endpoints
```

## Transcripts

`youtube.transcript` costs 1 credit. For `instagram.transcript` and `tiktok.transcript`, audio is rounded up to the next 10 seconds. Instagram goes up to 30 minutes, which is 182 credits at most. TikTok goes up to 3 minutes, which is 20 credits at most. A longer video is refused and costs nothing.

When audio was transcribed, the response has `transcribedSeconds`.

## Limit the cost of a long list

`google.images`, `google.ads.advertisers`, `appstore.search`, `appstore.top` and `google.play.search` take `limit`. On the priced ones, a smaller `limit` costs fewer credits.

## Pages

One call returns one page. The next page is a new call and costs the same again. See [Page through results](/guides/paging).

## See what a call cost

Every successful response has `creditsUsed` in the body and an `x-credits-used` header. For your balance and history, use [`GET /v1/usage`](/api-reference/usage) and [`GET /v1/logs`](/api-reference/logs).

## Running out

When your balance is too low, the call answers `402` with code `insufficientCredits` and charges nothing. The error says how many credits the call needs and how many you have.
