Credits & Billing

Understand how API credits are consumed and managed.

Credit model
The Extraction API uses a simple credit-based system.

When you enable the API, you receive 50 free credits to get started. Credits are consumed per request based on the operation performed.

Parsing

Bills by detected page count.

  • Images (JPG, PNG) = 1 credit
  • PDFs = 1 credit per page

Deskewing

Bills a flat rate per request.

  • Any image = 0.5 credits
Managing credits
Track your usage and buy more credits.

You can track your remaining balance and usage history directly in your Account → API access dashboard.

When your balance runs low, you can purchase additional credit bundles to keep your integration running smoothly. No monthly subscription is required for API key access.

A note on auto-deskew
How billing works for combined operations.

The /v1/parse/receipt endpoint handles tilted or skewed images automatically during OCR. This is included in the parsing cost and does not bill extra for deskewing.

The /v1/deskew endpoint should only be used when you need the corrected, horizontal image file returned to you for other purposes.
