Rate Limits and Credits
Anonymous requests (no API key) are capped at 10 per day per IP.
Authenticated requests spend credits instead: one credit per call, with no
daily cap. Checking your own balance at GET /account/usage is free.
Plans
| Plan | Credits per month | How to get |
|---|---|---|
| Anonymous | None (10 requests/day) | No key needed |
| Free | 1,000 | Create a free account + API key |
| Base | 100,000 | $29/month, from your API keys page |
Plan credits refresh once per billing cycle, on your signup anniversary on
Free, and on your Stripe renewal date on Base. Not on the 1st of the month:
if you signed up on the 21st, your credits come back on the 21st. Read
resets_at rather than assuming a date.
Base subscribers can also buy top-up packs: credits that never expire and are spent only after your plan credits are gone, so buying a pack early never wastes it. Top-ups are not available on Free, so upgrade to Base first.
