API credits
Usage is measured in lookups. Understanding how lookups are counted keeps your bill predictable.
How lookups work
- 1 fresh lookup = 1 credit. Each query that hits the source registry counts as one lookup.
- Cached lookups are free. Repeat the same query within your cache window and it won’t be billed again.
- Monthly reset. Plan lookups reset at the start of each billing cycle. One-time credit packs never expire.
- Overage billing. On paid plans, lookups beyond your included volume bill at your plan’s per-lookup rate.
Examples
| Action | Credits | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Entity search (fresh) | 1 | Counted once per unique query |
| Entity search (cached) | 0 | Served from cache within your window |
| UCC search (beta) | 1 | Same per-lookup model |
