How many credits does a ScraperAPI request use?

A standard page is 1 credit, Amazon 5, Google and Bing 25, LinkedIn 30, and pages behind Cloudflare, Datadome or PerimeterX add 10 credits when bypassed. Use the Domain Cost Estimator in the dashboard for exact costs.

What happens if I run out of credits?

Scraping pauses until renewal unless you enable auto-upgrade (Hobby to Professional) or pay-as-you-go (Scaling and above, rate not listed publicly). Unused credits do not roll over.

Credits reset at renewal (no rollover). Out of credits: scraping pauses unless auto-upgrade (Hobby–Professional) or pay-as-you-go (Scaling+, rate not public) is on. Free plan 1,000 credits; 7-day trial 5,000. Limited-offer bonus credits (+250k Professional, +500k Advanced) are not counted.
