How Many Credits Does a Single API Request Use?

Written by Yury Tsukeman

Great question — credit usage depends on what you’re asking for and which endpoind and parameters you’re using.

Here’s a quick breakdown to help set expectations.

Standard API Calls

For most enrichment endpoints, the base request costs 1 credit per successful result.

However, certain add-ons or real-time features increase the total:

  • Enabling datafreshness (use_cache=if-recent) → +1 credit

  • Adding optional enrichments (like funding_data, exit_data, etc.) → may add extra credit cost depending on the endpoint

Example:

A Company Profile call with data freshness (use_cache=if-recent): = 2 credits

A Person Search call pulling multiple results = 3 credits per retrieved profile, based on your page size
