Retrieve your credit balances, per-service activity counts, storage usage, and channel indexing metrics.

​
Overview

All API operations consume credits from a shared credit pool — there are no per-service limits. This endpoint gives you a complete picture of your account’s consumption and remaining capacity.

​
What’s Included

  • Credits: Monthly allocation, remaining balance, and purchased credits
  • Usage counters: Activity counts per service type (informational, not individual limits)
  • Storage: Used vs. allocated storage
  • Channels indexed: Non-public YouTube channels indexed
  • Subscription details: Plan, billing period, and status

Credits Object

FieldTypeDescription
monthly_totalnumber | "unlimited"Total monthly credits included in your plan
monthly_remainingnumber | "unlimited"Monthly credits remaining for the current period
purchasednumberAdditional purchased credits (persist across billing periods)
Enterprise plans return "unlimited" for monthly_total and monthly_remaining. The shared credit pool is what limits usage — individual service counters under usage are informational only and do not impose per-service caps.

​
Usage Counters

The usage object shows how many times each service was used during the current period. These are activity counters — the shared credit pool is what actually limits usage.
CounterDescription
video_transcriptsNon-YouTube transcript requests
youtube_transcriptsYouTube transcript requests
video_searchesVideo search requests
video_analysesVideo/file analysis requests
video_scene_analysesScene analysis requests
video_uploadsFile upload hours processed

​
Channels Indexed

A hard plan limit (not credit-gated). Shows how many non-public YouTube channels you have indexed vs. your plan’s capacity.

​
Error: No Subscription

If you don’t have an active subscription, the endpoint returns 404: 
{
  "status": "error",
  "error": "no_subscription",
  "message": "You are not subscribed to any plan."
}
