Credits & costs
Billing is pay-per-success: a request that fails consumes no credits. The cost depends on the effort actually needed to get through.
The pricing scale
| Case | Credits | When |
|---|---|---|
| Simple site | 1 | Direct access, datacenter IP, no browser. |
| Anti-bot | 10 | Browser pass required (datacenter IP). |
| Hardened anti-bot | 15 | Browser + residential IP for the toughest targets. |
| Auto mode | 1 → 15 | WyndPath starts at 1 and only escalates if the target blocks. |
How it's calculated
The model is additive: base 1 + browser / JS rendering (+9) + residential IP (+5), all multiplied by any target-specific coefficient. You don't estimate anything by hand: auto mode picks the minimum that works.
One successful request = a single charge. Internal attempts (IP rotation, retry, escalation to a stronger route) do not add up: you pay once, at the cost of the route that ultimately succeeded. The
X-WyndPath-Attempts header reports the number of attempts, but it has no effect on the price. A call that fails in the end costs nothing.Cap your spend. Pass
max_cost=N to reject any request whose estimate exceeds N credits. The cost actually charged is returned in the X-WyndPath-Credits response header.✓ Pay-per-success. Only successful requests are counted. Failures (permanent block, unreachable target) consume nothing: you only pay for what brings you data.
Requests included per month
