How Billing Works
When you authenticate with an API Key (x-api-key header), you are billed under the API tier. Usage is deducted from your prepaid USD wallet. Check your balance at any time:
GET /v3/users/me → wallet
OAuth vs API Key: If you authenticate with an OAuth bearer token, usage is billed against your web plan, not the API tier. Check your web plan balance with GET /v3/users/me → subscription. Using an API Key is recommended for automation and integration workflows. API key authentication provides higher concurrency limits and is more flexible and powerful for programmatic use.
Pricing
All rates are billed in USD based on output duration.
