Skip to main contentAt Precept, we use a credit-based system to give you the flexibility to pay only for the data you need. This page explains how credits are consumed for our main API features: Company Insights and Lead Enrichment.
How Credits Work
When you make an API request, we calculate the total credit cost based on the enrichments and queries you specify. If your available credits are sufficient, we process the entire request. If not, we process as much as we can with your remaining credits and return the unprocessed items in the API response.
Company Insights
Credit costs for the Company Insights endpoint are based on the type and number of enrichments you request.
| Enrichment Type | Credits per Company (Per Department/Job Title) |
|---|
job-postings-count | 2 credits per role |
decision-makers | 1 credits per role |
department-ratio | 4 credits per role |
employee-count | 2 credits per role |
employee-count-change | 4 credits per role |
| Custom Query | 1 credit per query |
Special Cases:
- Contact Details: Requesting contact details (
includeContactDetails: true) for decision-makers costs additional credits per decision-maker found. See Lead Enrichment for more details on the cost of contact details.
- Limits: This is only applicable for the
decision-makers type. This is the maximum number of decision-makers to return, you are only charged for the decision-makers returned.
Lead Enrichment
Credit costs for the Lead Enrichment endpoint are based on the type of data you request for each lead.
| Enrichment Type | Credits per Lead |
|---|
| Emails | 1 credit |
| Phone Numbers | 10 credits |
enrichType, the system defaults to finding both emails and phone numbers, costing a total of 11 credits per lead.
Note: You are only charged for the emails or phone numbers that we successfully find and return.
