How Credits Work

1

Sign Up Free

Create your account. No payment information required. $2.50 in credits is applied instantly — visible in your dashboard.

2

Make API Calls

Each API call deducts its weighted cost from your balance. At the entry rate of $0.005 per unit, an indicator call costs $0.005, an OHLCV call $0.01 and a market summary $0.025.

3

Top Up with Crypto

When your credit runs low, top up with Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, or 100+ other cryptocurrencies via NOWPayments. Or upgrade to a monthly plan.

Every new account gets $2.50 in free API credits

PAYG vs Monthly Plans

Pick PAYG until your traffic crosses ~5,800 standard calls a month; past that, Starter is cheaper. Credits never expire either way.
