Do I need a credit card to get started with CommunityGuardAPI?

No. Sign up for free and get 100 API calls per month without a credit card. You only need to add a payment method if you exceed the free tier.

How much does CommunityGuardAPI cost?

Pricing is per-call with volume discounts. Your first 100 calls/month are free. Calls 101-10,000 are $0.12 each. Calls 10,001-100,000 are $0.10 each. Beyond 100K calls is $0.08 each. No monthly minimums or commitments.

What data does CommunityGuardAPI provide?

CommunityGuardAPI provides sex offender registry data from all 50 US states — over 650,000 records. Each record includes name, address, photo, risk level, conviction details, and geocoded coordinates. Data is sourced from official state registries and updated weekly.

How does CommunityGuardAPI billing work?

Usage is tracked in real-time. At the end of each billing period, you are charged for calls above the free 100. Invoices are generated automatically and charged to your card on file via Stripe. You can cancel anytime with no penalties.

What counts as an API call?

Each successful request to a data endpoint (search, nearby, detail, stats) counts as one API call. Failed requests (4xx/5xx errors) are not counted. Authentication and billing endpoints are not counted.
