Credit system

Every API call consumes credits. Credits are deducted when a request completes successfully. Failed requests (4xx errors caused by bad input) are not charged. Your balance resets daily at midnight UTC on the Free plan. Paid plans carry credits forward.

Quota errors

When you exceed your balance or daily cap, the API returns: 
{
  "request_id": "...",
  "error": {
    "code": "daily_credit_cap_exceeded",
    "message": "This tenant has reached its daily credit cap."
  }
}

​
Checking your usage

Use the usage field in every successful inline response to see how many credits that call consumed: 
{
  "usage": { "credits": 2 }
}
Aggregate usage dashboards are available at scrapio.dev.
