Endpoint Credit
Our new API service operates on a credit-based system, different from the traditional call-based model. In this system, each API call will still be counted as a single request, but the number of credits consumed per call will vary depending on the type of data being accessed.
Credits vs. Calls
While you make API calls as usual, the cost in credits per call depends on the data requested. For example:
- Accessing Data A may cost 1 credit.
- Accessing Data B may cost 5 credits.
- Accessing Data D may cost 10 credits.
Daily Credit Limit
The n API credits/day limit refers to the total credits you can use in a day, not the number of calls you can make. This means:
- If your daily limit is 100 credits, you can make up to 100 calls for Data A (1 credit per call).
- Alternatively, you could make only 10 calls for Data D (10 credits per call).
- Or, you could make a combination, such as 50 calls for Data A and 5 calls for Data D.
Managing Your Usage
To avoid running out of credits, plan your usage according to the credit cost of the data you need. Always refer to this documentation for the specific credit cost of each data type to optimize your usage.
