Usage-based API pricing

Pay for the detectionsyour product receives.

Choose any supported pattern and timeframe. Faster, noisier signals cost less; rarer, higher-context detections use more detection units.

Simple usage pricing

$0 base fee

pay only for usage

Connect through REST or the live event feed. Detection delivery is charged once per account; REST processing uses the small, published request units below. There is no monthly minimum.

  • REST queries and live Server-Sent Events
  • Scoped, revocable API keys
  • First card charge at $5 of usage

Detection unit pricing

One delivered detection, charged once

A detection is billed only once per account, even when you read it through REST and receive it in the SSE feed. Catalog, health, and usage endpoints are not detection charges.

Historical REST pricing

History cannot bypass detection pricing

A historical response has two parts: a small query-processing charge and the timeframe price of every detection delivered to that account for the first time. The same detection is never charged again across REST, SSE, retries, or overlapping filters.

History page

5 DU base

Plus 1 DU per 100 returned rows and 1 DU per 100 evaluated market-pattern-candle windows, both rounded up. A narrow page with 100 rows and no additional coverage uses 6 DU, or $0.12.

First delivery

Timeframe price

New detections in the response use the same 2-30 DU bands as the live feed. Coverage metering prevents broad empty scans from becoming a cheap negative-label export.

Re-read or fetch by ID

2 DU fetch

A previously billed detection adds no detection DU. Only the current REST request is charged: history page units or $0.04 for a single-ID fetch.

Limits that grow with trust

Pay smaller amounts first. Unlock more as you go.

New accounts start with a small charge threshold, a protected rate limit, and a five-minute delayed feed. Successful payments progressively unlock real-time delivery, higher throughput, and longer history.

The billing threshold controls when your card is charged. Your monthly spend cap remains separate and never increases automatically.

Charge threshold

Controls when Stripe charges your card. It grows only after successful payments.

Monthly spend cap

A separate safety limit you control. It never increases automatically.

Rate limit

Controls request and stream throughput in DU per second, not your monthly bill.
