Usage, pricing, and limits

The API is priced in credits.

• Credits are deducted only when a request returns data.
• Check your remaining balance with GET /public/v1/accounts/credits/ or in the Influencers Club dashboard.

Credits are deducted per enriched record returned. Enrich creator content, creator posts, connected socials and audience overlap charge a flat amount per request instead.

Credits are deducted per creator returned, not per request.

Adding return_filter_values=true moves a Discovery search from 0.01 to 0.03 credits per creator returned — 0.03 in total, not 0.04. It does not change how the Discovery fair-use cap is counted.

Every request that returns creators consumes credits.

The API is rate limited to 300 requests per minute. Requests over the limit return 429.

Discovery also has a daily credit limit. Requests past it return 429 with error_code daily_limit_exceeded and a retry_after giving the seconds to wait. Your daily limit is shown in the dashboard.

Trial accounts get 30 successful API requests. Requests that return an error do not count.

Discovery has a fair-use cap on the number of unique creators returned, shared across your team.

Your cap increases at every renewal, and anything you did not use carries over. Canceling your subscription clears it. Your current figure is in the dashboard.

• A unique creator is one username on one platform — the same creator on two platforms counts as two.
• Within a billing period the same creator counts only once, however often you return them.

To have the cap raised, book a call and we'll review the use case with you.

We email your account owner as you approach the cap and again when you reach it. Past the cap, Discovery pauses: POST /public/v1/discovery/ and POST /public/v1/discovery/creators/similar/ return HTTP 429 until your subscription renews.

This 429 is not the per-minute rate limit, the daily Discovery limit, or a batch limit — see Error handling to tell them apart.

Two ways to use it:

• Webhooks — subscribe to a type of creator activity (new posts, bio or link-in-bio changes, follower milestones) and we push it to your app as it happens.
• Campaigns — group creators into a campaign and get the analytics layer on top: per-post metrics, engagement rate, estimated reach, and Earned Media Value (per post and campaign total), plus 7-day trends and an AI-written performance report. Export any of it to CSV.

0.3 credits per creator, per day — however you organize those creators into subscriptions or campaigns. Estimate a campaign as creators × days × 0.3:

• Billed per distinct creator, not per subscription or campaign. The same creator tracked in several places — or by several teammates — counts once.
• You pay for each day a creator is actually tracked. Removing a creator does not refund the day you remove them.
• Webhook deliveries, reports, and exports are all part of the per-creator price.

If your balance won't cover the day's charge, monitoring pauses. Top up and resume your subscriptions to continue.
