A practical workflow
- Create an API key by signing up and generating it in the dashboard with no approval or connected account needed.
- Send your first request as a plain REST call with a bearer token using tools like curl or Postman; responses are JSON.
- Pay for results by topping up your balance; most endpoints cost $0.20 per 1000 results and the balance does not expire.
