Account and Credits

#How Pricing Works

Qoest uses a simple credit system. Here is exactly how it works:

#1. Pick an API Product

Qoest has three separate APIs. Each has its own credit balance:

• Scraping API - Web, Google, YouTube, X, Reddit, and Upwork scraping
• OCR API - Image and PDF text extraction
• Blockchain API - Wallet tracking and blockchain monitoring

#2. Subscribe to a Monthly Plan

Go to your dashboard and choose a monthly plan for the API you want to use.

Example: You subscribe to the Scraping API $10/month plan.

#3. Receive Credits

After your payment succeeds, credits are added to that API's balance.

Example: Your Scraping API balance now has 10,000 credits.

#4. Make API Requests

Each endpoint costs a fixed number of credits. Credits are deducted only when a request succeeds.

Example: You make 100 standard POST /v1/web requests. Each costs 1 credit. Your balance drops from 10,000 to 9,900.

#5. Check Your Balance

Call GET /me anytime to see your remaining credits.

{
  "user": {
    "id": 1,
    "name": "Jane Developer",
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "credits": 9900,
    "created_at": "2026-03-23T00:00:00.000000Z",
    "updated_at": "2026-03-23T00:00:00.000000Z"
  }
}

#Important Rules

• Separate balances: Scraping API credits, OCR API credits, and Blockchain API credits are completely separate. You cannot use Scraping API credits for OCR requests.
• Only successful requests cost credits: If a request fails validation or the server errors, no credits are deducted.
• No credits = 403: If your balance hits zero, the API returns 403 Insufficient Credits.
• Monthly billing: You are billed monthly for your plan. Credits do not roll over to the next month.
