At 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.
Lead Enrichment & Search
Credit costs for Leads are based on whether you are enriching existing leads or searching for new ones, and the level of data requested.
Base Costs
| Feature Type | Base Cost (Per Lead) | With Insights (Per Lead) |
|---|
| Lead Enrichment | 1 credit | (Always included) |
| Lead Search | 0.5 credits | 1.5 credits |
- The base lead cost is discounted from 0.5 to 0.1 credits per lead.
- Additional credits are charged per lead for successfully found contact details.
| Scenario | Lead Cost | Contact Cost | Total Per Lead |
|---|
| Lead Search — no contact details | 0.5 | — | 0.5 |
| Lead Search — emails only | 0.1 | +1 | 1.1 |
| Lead Search — phone numbers only | 0.1 | +10 | 10.1 |
| Lead Search — emails + phone numbers | 0.1 | +11 | 11.1 |
You are only charged for contact details that we successfully find and return.
The discounted 0.1 base cost applies automatically whenever contact enrichment is requested.
Advanced Filtering
When using Lead Search, you can optionally filter leads based on their recent LinkedIn activity (e.g. they recently posted about a specific topic).
| Filter Type | Parameter | Additional Credits |
|---|
| Activity/Post Match | postInteractionKeywords | +5 credits per lead |
Company Insights & Search
Credit costs for Companies are based on a base insight fee plus any specific enrichments requested per company.

How Credits Work
When you make an API request, we calculate the total credit cost based on your parameters. 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 results for the processed items, indicating any skipped items.
Testing Your Webhook
A quick way to check the result endpoint and troubleshoot is to use a webhook
URL from webhook.site (a free service).
