Credits

There are two types of credits: subscriptions credits that are included in your monthly subscription plan and top-up credits that you can purchase separately. An active subscription is required to purchase any credits. For top-up credits that you can purchase in addition to your monthly allocation, there is a sliding scale discount applied based on the number of credits purchased.

Top-up credits pricing examples

Top-up credit packages are based on purchase costs. Higher costs include purchase discounts.

Use the slider below to see the different top-up packages and their resulting credits. You can also input specific values in the input fields to see the closest available package.

Did you know you can automatically top up your credits when the balance falls below a threshold? You can activate this option on your Account page in the Credits Overview section.

Subscribe

An active subscription is required to purchase credits.

How credits work

Each month on your renewal date, your account will be topped up to the allocated number included in your subscription plan. If you still have credits remaining from the previous month, these are included in the allocation so you will not ever have more than your allocated balance each month. All credits can be used in the same way, and are deducted per request.

Credits are spent when you use the endpoint to retrieve data. A full list of the costs per use can be found in the documentation and is summarized in the list of features above.
