Credit Costs
A call costs the entity base rate per record returned, plus the rate of any premium, indicator or enrichment field you explicitly ask for. Standard fields add nothing.
How it works
- Every call deducts (base rate for the entity + the rate of each premium / indicator / enrichment field you requested) × the number of records returned. Standard fields are covered by the base rate.
- `fields` shrinks the payload, not the bill — dropping standard fields changes nothing. It only lowers cost when the field you drop is a premium / indicator / enrichment one. Omit `fields` entirely and you pay the base rate alone.
- Aggregated endpoints (stats, trend, delta, top-by, pivot, points, market-report), search and reports are billed per CALL at a flat rate, not per record. The exact amount is echoed in `meta.creditCost` on every response.
- Contacts and owners are Enterprise-only: parcel contacts (and expand=contacts), contact requests, contact enrichment, the owners entity and its aggregations are refused on other plans with a 403 whose details.code is TIER_REQUIRED. Everything else is open to every plan, billed at the credit cost below; your monthly credit allowance is what differs between plans.
- Premium fields (AI descriptions, AVM valuation, enrichment) typically cost more than standard fields.
- Contact enrichment (POST /v1/enrichment/contacts) is billed the contacts_enriched price only when it unlocks someone your organization did not already hold — a no-match or a repeat lookup costs 0. Contact requests (POST /v1/contacts/requests) are billed the contacts price per newly unlocked contact.
