Plans & credits¶
AzScraper bills by credits, not by the number of clicks or API calls. You spend credits when you run a crawl. This page explains the math in plain terms.
What a crawl costs¶
| Crawl type | Cost |
|---|---|
| Search (per keyword) | 5 credits |
| Details (per ASIN or product URL) | 2 credits |
So a search job for 3 keywords costs 3 × 5 = 15 credits. A details job for 10 products
costs 10 × 2 = 20 credits.
Credits are reserved up front
Credits are held when you create or retry a job — not after it finishes. If a job fails, check Troubleshooting; retries reserve credits again.
Buying credits¶
- Top-up rate: $1 = 10,000 credits.
- Signup bonus: new accounts get 1,000 credits free to try things out.
With 10,000 credits you could run, for example, 2,000 keyword searches or 5,000 product detail lookups.
Running low¶
If your balance is too low to cover a job, AzScraper refuses to create it and tells you
you're out of credits (developers see HTTP 402 INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS). Top up, then
try again.
Checking usage¶
Your dashboard shows your current balance and recent spend under Usage and Billing. Developers can read the same numbers from the API (Rate limits & concurrency).
