Credits and Requests

Every time you make a request, you consume credits. The credits you have available are defined by the plan you are currently using. The amount of credits you consume depends on the domain and parameters you add to your request.
We have created custom scrapers to target these sites, if you scrape one of these domain categories you will activate this scraper and the credit cost will change.
Category | Credit Cost per Request |
---|---|
Other domains may be applied, please use our API Playground before scraping to understand the cost per request will be.
Accessing domains with anti-scraping protections requires the activation of a bypass mechanism. This specialized process involves additional resources, resulting in an extra cost for scraping these protected websites.
Protection | Cost per Scrape |
---|---|
We highly recommend using our API Playground before scraping to understand what the cost per request will be - as domains may switch protection measures. You can also set limits on your API credit expenditure. To find out more, please visit this page.
Response Headers
Our Response Headers to each request will contain cost information on how many credits were spent on such a request: sa-credit-cost
According to your needs, you may want to access different features on our platform.

In any requests, with or without these parameters, we will only charge for successful requests (200
and 404
status codes) and for requests that have been cancelled from your side before giving us enough time to finish them (70 seconds). If you run out of credits sooner than planned, you can renew your subscription early as explained in the section titled "Dashboard".
*Accounts that have discounted pricing will have a higher credit cost per request for our Ultra Premium domains to meet our minimum pricing of $3 per one thousand requests without rendering and $7 with rendered pages.
