Managing API credits
Check your API credits usage on the API dashboard
API credits are required to integrate CreatorDB data with your application or download the database data for further analysis. Based on your CreatorDB subscription plan, you will get a specific number of free API credits that renew each month. You can purchase additional API credits when you exceed your free API credit quota by contacting CreatorDB. Purchased API credits expire upon usage and can be carried over to the next billing cycle. You can view the following API credit usage data by going to API > API dashboard.
