Credit Usage by Endpoint
Person API — with contacts
Each successful person lookup consumes standard SignalHire credits. These are the same credits used across the SignalHire website, browser extension and api — the balance is shared between all three.Person API — without contacts
Retrieving profiles without contact details requires a separate credit type, independent of the standard balance. To purchase without-contacts credits, contact support@signalhire.com.Search API
Search requests are not billed per credit — instead, they count against a daily search quota. This quota is shared between the SignalHire website and the API, so searches made in either place consume from the same daily limit.- The quota covers both the number of search queries and the total number of profiles returned — both are tracked separately against daily limits
- The quota resets daily
- The quota varies by plan and is set individually — trial accounts have a significantly lower limit than paid accounts
- When the daily quota is exhausted, the API returns HTTP
402
Summary
Tracking Usage
To check remaining credits at any time, use the Get Remaining Credits endpoint or check theX-Credits-Left header included in every API response.
Company API
The Company API uses one purchasable credit type, separate from Person API credits:- Company data credits — consumed by the
/company/infoendpoint. Each successful call consumes one credit. Contact support@signalhire.com to purchase.
/company/getProfiles does not consume a purchasable credit. Instead, each profile delivered counts against the same daily profile-view quota shared with the SignalHire website. The quota varies by plan, up to 2000 profiles/day.
The /company/findById and /company/getCount endpoints do not consume any credits or quota.
The Company API is available on request — contact support@signalhire.com to enable access.
