Credits & Quotas
Some of the services offered by the Surfe API consume credits or are limited by usage quotas
People enrichment credits
When enriching people via the API, Surfe can provide two levels of information:
- Email, landline phone, and other personal details (depending on availability) like the LinkedIn URL, job title, etc.
- Mobile phone
Each level consumes credits: email credits for the first level, and mobile credits for the second. If the user does not have enough credits in their account, the enrichment request won't be processed.
The number of credits consumed per enrichment depends on the cascade type requested. See the Enrich people endpoint documentation for details.
This system applies to the following endpoints:
Search credits
Some endpoints support an alternative search credit model. Without search credits, these endpoints are subject to low daily quotas. With search credits enabled, quotas are greatly increased (up to 100,000 results per day). Search credits are deducted per result returned.
Contact api.support@surfe.com to enable search credits on your account.
This system applies to the following endpoints:
- Search people
- Search companies
- Enrich companies
- Enrich people by email (reverse email enrichment)
