No. Credit packs are one-time purchases with no subscription, and nothing renews. However, if your balance falls under 25, it automatically refills back to 25 each day.

You get 100 credits when you sign up with no card required. Your balance refills to 25 every day if it drops below that threshold. Unauthenticated users can make 5 free tries per day before signing up.

What counts as a call?

One request counts as one call. Each page of a list requires a separate call. Every API response shows credits_charged and credits_remaining so you know exactly what was used.

How fast can I call the API?

The standard rate limit is 50 requests every 10 seconds per account. For higher volume needs, you can email support@lurkapi.com to request the high-volume limit of 100 requests every 10 seconds.

100 credits when you sign up, no card. Each day, a balance under 25 goes back to 25. And 5 tries a day before you sign up.
