One successful retrieval request costs one credit, including an empty result. The rate is $1 per 1000 requests, or $0.001 per credit. Invalid requests do not debit your balance; upstream retrieval failures refund reserved credits. Billing measures successful API requests, not accepted warehouse rows. A record rejected by your local validator still came from a billable successful response.
The minimum paid top-up is $50, adding 50000 paid credits at this rate. Paid credits do not expire and there is no subscription or recurring renewal. The minimum applies to a purchase, rather than a balance you must maintain. A successful request can return up to 100 records, but the number of records does not change its one-credit cost.
Flexible Account and Trial Setup
An eligible account may receive 100 trial credits before a paid top-up, subject to network-wide anti-abuse limits. The trial is conditional, and registration alone does not guarantee a usable trial balance. Your API key is shown once immediately after signup, before payment. Check the balance in the account panel on the key page before scheduling a schema-sampling job.
To purchase credits, sign in and create an invoice. Supported payments are USDT on TRON TRC20 and USDC ERC20 on Ethereum mainnet. Read the current invoice for the recipient and exact amount before sending. A separate invoice does not imply a new wallet address. The service does not promise an absence of blockchain fees or conversion costs.
Payment Verification and Limits
After sending, paste the payment transaction hash and request verification. The server checks a confirmed genuine transfer before adding credits. An invoice expires after one hour; follow its current transfer instructions. Expiry is not a deadline for clicking Verify or a settlement guarantee. Provider outages can leave verification pending. No wrong-network recovery or manual crediting service is supplied.
For a load budget, count schema samples, collection pages and successful retries separately. Losing a response at the client can follow a billable server success; a successful retry costs another credit. /v1/status is public and uncharged, but does not test search health. Keys and balances belong to this domain, so funds purchased on another network brand do not cover this job.
