Billing is credit-based. Each endpoint has a fixed cost, and new accounts start with 500 credits to play with.

Per call

Scrape, SmartScraper. Billed once per successful request.

Per page

SmartBrowse. Billed per page successfully extracted (initial load + each pagination hop).
Failed requests cost 0 credits. You only pay on success. Internal retries on our end aren’t your problem.

​
Per-endpoint costs

​
Stealth mode

Stealth mode swaps the default fetcher for a real Chrome session. Set stealth: true in the request body to enable it. The surcharge is added on top of the base cost — see the table above, or Stealth mode for when to use it.

​
SmartBrowse pricing detail

POST /v1/smartbrowse/recipes/:id/run charges 2 credits per page extracted — the initial load, plus each pagination hop. We bill on completion only. Cancelled, failed, or timed-out runs cost 0.

​
Checking your balance

Every successful response includes credits_used and credits_remaining. Most production code only reads those two fields: 
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": { "...": "..." },
  "credits_used": 5,
  "credits_remaining": 495,
  "request_id": "req_aB3xY9Kp"
}
credits_remaining is your balance after this call has been deducted. The async-dispatch endpoint (POST /v1/smartbrowse/recipes/:id/run) returns a queued envelope without the credit fields, because the work hasn’t run yet: 
{
  "status": "queued",
  "data": {
    "run_id": "k7Xb9dRmQ2p",
    "recipe_id": "m3Yc2tFvN8q",
    "run_status": "running",
    "poll_url": "/v1/smartbrowse/runs/k7Xb9dRmQ2p",
    "created_at": "2026-05-21T17:42:01Z"
  },
  "request_id": "req_aB3xY9Kp"
}
Credits add up page by page as the run goes; poll the poll_url to watch it happen. Hit zero and the next call returns 402 Payment Required. Top up from the Billing page.
