For the first 7-days after you sign up you will have access to 5,000 API credits to test the API at a larger scale. If you need additional API credits for testing purposes, please [contact support](https://dashboard.scraperapi.com/contact-support). ## What happens if I run out of credits before the end of my current subscription? By default, scraping pauses until your credits renew. There are a few ways to keep your requests going without interruption, depending on your plan.\ \ **Hobby, Startup, and Business**: - Turn on auto-upgrade and your account moves to the next plan when your credits run out. This often gives you a better price per credit. Without auto-upgrade, your account pauses until your credits renew. **Scaling and Professional**: - Turn on auto-upgrade or Pay-As-You-Go to keep scraping: * **Pay-As-You-Go:** - keep scraping at a fixed per-credit rate, up to a monthly spending cap you set. * **Auto-upgrade**: - move to the next plan automatically. **Advanced and Enterprise**: - Turn on Pay-As-You-Go to keep your requests running at a fixed per-credit rate, up to your monthly spending cap. To change your plan or limits, contact sales. **On an annual plan?** You get the full year's credits upfront and can use them on any timeline. If you run out before the end of your billing period, you can renew the same annual plan early for a fresh allocation, or use the options above. ## Cancelling a plan Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any time from your dashboard or by [contacting support](https://dashboard.scraperapi.com/contact-support). You will not be charged for cancelling. ## Getting a refund We offer a 7-day no questions asked refund policy. If you are unhappy with the service for any reason, [contact support](https://dashboard.scraperapi.com/contact-support) and they'll help you with getting your refund. ## Change Credit Card Details You can change your card details anytime on the Billing page in your dashboard or by [contacting support](https://dashboard.scraperapi.com/contact-support), who will help you securely change your card details. ## Pay-As-You-Go Users on our **Scaling**, **Professional, Advanced and Enterprise** plans have access to a **`Pay-As-You-Go`** option. To protect you from surprise bills, you will have the option to set a monthly spending cap on your **`Pay-As-You-Go`** usage. Your service **will not** exceed this cap unless you change your settings on the billing page. This is a spending *limit*, not an amount you will be pre-charged. ## Bandwidth Based Pricing Currently, we don’t offer bandwidth based pricing. All our plans are based on the number of requests you make to the API each month. ## Buying Individual IPs Currently, we don’t have an option to purchase individual proxies from our pools. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.scraperapi.com/resources/faq/plans-and-billing.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
