Pricing and limits

What each call costs, how long it takes, and its limits.

Every response includes usage.credits, the credits the call was charged, and usage.credits_remaining, the workspace’s credits left after it (the x-credits-remaining header has the same number). Calls running at the same time can change the balance, so treat it as a guide, not a reservation.

Unit prices

What	Price
X account returned (search, profile)	$0.01 each
X posts, per page of about 20 (an account’s posts and its replies are separate pages)	$0.001
X post a reply answers, when the account’s pages didn’t include it	$0.001 each
Instagram search	$0.008
Instagram profile lookup	$0.001
Instagram posts, per page	$0.008
TikTok search, profile lookup or page of videos	$0.001
Facebook name lookup (up to 7 candidates)	from $0.00975; capped at $0.01 per attempt
Facebook public profile	from $0.0012; capped at $0.0032 per attempt

X or TikTok following, per page of 50	$0.001
Instagram following, per page of 100	$0.008
YouTube search (up to max_results.youtube videos)	about $0.0015
YouTube video details or captions, per video	about $0.0015 each
People search	about 0.23 Crustdata credits per person returned, plus 0.03 per company (and 0.1–0.2 per premium filter) for a company search, plus 1 credit per person identified by email or LinkedIn address, plus about $0.01 of model time
Full public LinkedIn profile	from $0.0029 via AnyAPI; billed at the serving source's reported cost (capped at $0.005 per call)

Facebook costs use the serving source’s actual receipt, including paid failures. Each request may retry a server error once. Matched Facebook accounts reuse their profile lookup and read at most five pages of posts.

Requests that fail aren’t charged by TikHub or Oxylabs. Enrich person collects one profile, then runs two YouTube searches when the profile has a current employer, one otherwise. Each matched video’s transcript takes two Oxylabs requests.

Typical calls

Call	Cost	Time
Search people (20 people)	about $0.01 plus about 5 Crustdata credits	8–30 s
Enrich person, every platform, 50 results each, no match details	about $0.50–0.65	20–40 s
Match details (each matched account’s posts and follows, video transcripts), one match per platform, defaults	about $0.06–0.10 more	up to 10–20 s more: each platform’s start when its own search is done
Enrich person, X only, 10 results	about $0.13	5–10 s

X is the biggest cost driver: each account a search returns is billed, whether or not it matches. Lower max_results.x when the name is unusual.

Instagram and TikTok lookups are limited to 10 requests a second, shared across all callers, so busy periods can be slower.
