# API Pricing

> API usage is billed through existing SignalHire credits and quotas — no separate API subscription is required.

To view SignalHire's pricing plans, visit the [pricing page](https://www.signalhire.com/pricing).

## 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](mailto: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

| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| Person API — with contacts    | Standard credits (shared with site & extension)   |

## Tracking Usage

To check remaining credits at any time, use the [Get Remaining Credits](/person-api/credits) endpoint or check the `X-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/info` endpoint. Each successful call consumes one credit. Contact [support@signalhire.com](mailto: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](mailto:support@signalhire.com) to enable access.
