Overview

Clado API uses usage-based pricing with a credit system. You only pay for what you use - each API endpoint consumes a specific number of credits based on the operation performed. Each credit costs $0.01 USD.

  • Failed requests due to server errors (5xx) are not charged
  • Cached responses (when applicable) consume the same credits as fresh data
  • Rate limits apply to all endpoints to ensure optimal performance
