# Usage, pricing, and limits

## Credits

The Influencers Club API uses a **credit-based pricing model**.

- Credits are deducted **only when data is successfully returned**.
- You can check remaining credits in the [dashboard](https://dashboard.influencers.club/api)., or via **Check account credits and usage details** (`GET /public/v1/account/credits`).


## Credit consumption

### Creators API (enrichment)

Credits are deducted **per successfully enriched record**.

| Endpoint | Mode | Credits |
|  --- | --- | --- |
| Enrich by handle | Raw | **0.03** |
| Enrich by handle | Full | **1** |
| Enrich by email | Basic | **0.1** |
| Enrich by email | Advanced | **2** |


### Discovery API

Credits are deducted **per creator returned** (not per request).

| Endpoint | Credits |
|  --- | --- |
| Main discovery API | **0.01 per creator returned** |
| Similar creators | **0.01 per creator returned** |


> **Important:**
- Up to **10,000** relevant results can be fetched by each query. Fetching data after the 10,000th result is not allowed.
- Credits are consumed on **every request** that returns creators, even if the filters are identical to a previous request. The API always returns fresh, up-to-date data.
- It is the **client's responsibility** to track and manage request volume. Use the [dashboard](https://dashboard.influencers.club/api) or `GET /public/v1/account/credits` to monitor remaining credits.



## Rate limits

Rate limits apply **per account**, across all endpoints.

| Scope | Limit | Notes |
|  --- | --- | --- |
| All endpoints (all accounts) | **300 requests / minute** | Requests exceeding this limit return `429`. |


### Trial plan

Trial accounts can use up to **10 credits total**.
