Credits reference
Every API and MCP call consumes credits. Paid plan credits reset monthly; trial credits are a one-time 100-credit grant. The meta.credits field on every response shows what was charged and your remaining balance.
How credits are counted
Feed endpoints charge per record returned
A call to /funding/latest with limit=20 that returns 20 records costs 20 credits — not 1. Set limit carefully.
MCP calls cost the same as direct API calls
The MCP server maps directly to the underlying API endpoints. get_company_profile costs 5 credits, same as calling /company directly.
Pagination is not free
Each page of results is charged separately. Fetching 100 records across 5 pages costs 100 credits, not 5.
Trial can test every endpoint
Trial keys can call the same endpoints as paid keys until the 100-credit grant is exhausted.
Errors do not consume credits
4xx and 5xx responses do not charge credits. Only successful 200 responses are billed.
