Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as an API call?
Each request to our data endpoints (/api/data/search/, /api/data/offenders/, /api/data/offenders/nearby/) counts as one API call. Requests to auth, billing, or stats endpoints are not counted.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. You get 100 free API calls per month with no credit card required. Add a payment method only when you need more than 100 calls.
How does tiered pricing work?
Pricing is calculated per-call with volume discounts. Your first 100 calls are free. Calls 101-10,000 are $0.12 each. Calls 10,001-100,000 are $0.10 each. Beyond 100K is $0.08 each.
When am I billed?
Usage is aggregated monthly and invoiced on the 1st of each month for the previous month. You only pay for calls above the free tier.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. There are no contracts or commitments. Simply stop making API calls. You can revoke your API keys anytime from the dashboard.
