Plans do not limit request rate. See [rate limits](https://staging-fly.socialtap.dev/docs/authentication/index.md#rate-limits) for the safety ceiling that stops runaway clients.

## Price per endpoint

Each successful response costs the price of the source that produced it, shown as `meta.source`. Endpoints try their cheapest source first.

### Sources

| meta.source | Source | What it means |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `captions` | Captions | The platform's own caption track (uploaded or auto-generated). |
| `asr` | Speech-to-text | Transcribed by SocialTap from the media's audio when the platform has no captions. |
| `api` | Platform API | The platform's public, logged-out API. |
| `page` | Public page | Data embedded in the platform's public web page. |

## Worked examples

- **10,000 requests** to [Facebook Post API](https://staging-fly.socialtap.dev/apis/facebook/post/index.md) served from Public page `page` at 1 credit each = 10,000 credits, which is $7.49–$14.50 ($7.49 with the 2,000,000-credit pack).
- **One result with 7 started minutes of media** from Speech-to-text `asr` on [Facebook Video Transcript API](https://staging-fly.socialtap.dev/apis/facebook/transcript/index.md) (2 credits + 2 per started minute of media) = 2 + 2 × 7 = 16 credits, which is $0.01–$0.02. The largest accepted item (60 started minutes of media) costs 122 credits.
- **A failed request** (for example `method_not_allowed`) costs 0 credits. A cache hit costs 0 credits.

Dollar ranges span the 20,000-credit pack ($1.45 per 1,000) to the 2,000,000-credit pack ($0.75 per 1,000).

## How charging works

1. Before calling the platform, SocialTap checks that your balance covers the endpoint's minimum price (1 credit) and sets that minimum aside, nothing more. With less than the minimum the request fails with [`insufficient_credits`](https://staging-fly.socialtap.dev/docs/errors/index.md#insufficient_credits).
2. Right before costlier work (the prices with an “up to” amount above), more of your balance is set aside: the exact price when the size of the item is known in advance, otherwise as much as your balance allows, and the work is limited to what that pays for. A result that would cost more than your balance covers fails with [`insufficient_credits`](https://staging-fly.socialtap.dev/docs/errors/index.md#insufficient_credits) and costs nothing. Requests in parallel each set aside only what they need, never their “up to” amount in advance.
3. On success, the actual price is charged, the rest of the set-aside amount is released, and the charge is reported in `meta.credits_charged` and the `x-credits-charged` header. `x-credits-remaining` is your balance right after this request; other requests still in flight may lower it further.
4. On failure, the reservation is released: errors cost 0 credits.
