Managing API credits
Purchase additional API credits through the CreatorDB platform.
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 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. Purchased API credits expire upon usage and can be carried over to the next billing cycle.
