How will I be charged for my API subscription?
Understanding how you will be charged for your API subscription is important to ensure clarity and transparency. Here's how the pricing structure works:
- Recurring Monthly or Annual Subscription: The pricing for our API subscriptions is based on a recurring monthly or annual billing cycle. Depending on the plan you select, you will be charged a fixed amount each month or year. Our plans are designed to accommodate different usage levels and offer varying features and benefits.
- Quota Limits: Each subscription plan comes with a predefined quota limit for API requests. This limit represents the maximum number of requests you can make within a month without incurring any additional charges.
- Overage Fees: Before subscribing, it is essential for customers to be aware that certain APIs have a soft limit, while others do not. In the event that you exceed the quota limits provided by your chosen plan, overage fees will be applied. These fees cover the cost of each extra API request that goes beyond the allocated quota in your plan. It is crucial to carefully review the overage fee details, as you will be charged for every additional request made.
For instance, let's clarify the pricing structure using an example: Your subscription plan includes a base amount that grants you monthly access to our APIs. Additionally, there is a specified quota limit for API requests. Please take note of the overage fee, as this fee will be applicable to any extra requests made beyond the quota allocated in the APIs that have a soft limit.
