​
Overview

Crawleo uses a credits-based billing system that gives you flexibility and predictability in your API usage. Credits are deducted from your monthly allowance based on which API endpoints you use and their configuration.

​
Credit Costs

​
Bing Search API

Optimized for LLM and RAG pipelines with auto-crawling and content extraction.
OperationCredits Cost
Search (per page of results)10 credits
Each page of search results (controlled by max_pages parameter) costs 10 credits. For example, searching with max_pages=3 will cost 30 credits.

​
Google Search API

Structured Google SERP data for SEO, lead generation, and competitor research.
OperationCredits Cost
Google search request10 credits
Each Google Search request costs a flat 10 credits regardless of result count. Supports web, news, images, places, and shopping search types.

​
Crawl API

Rendering ModeCredits Cost
HTTP request (render_js=false)1 credit per URL
Browser rendering (render_js=true)10 credits per URL
Failed requests cost 0 credits. You only pay for successful responses.
Use browser rendering (render_js=true) only for JavaScript-heavy sites that require dynamic content. Default HTTP requests are the most cost-effective.

​
Headful Browser API

Premium crawling using a real headed browser with advanced anti-bot evasion, dedicated GPU rendering, and SOAX residential proxies.
OperationCredits Cost
Headful browser request (per URL)50 credits
The Headful Browser API is designed for sites protected by Cloudflare, Akamai, DataDome, or other advanced bot-detection systems where the standard Crawl API is insufficient.
At 50 credits per URL, use the Headful Browser API only when necessary. Always try the standard Crawl API (render_js=false or render_js=true) first. Failed requests cost 0 credits.

  • See usage history and trends
  • Set up usage alerts
  • Monitor API call patterns

​
Optimizing Credit Usage

  • Start with HTTP requests (1 credit) for most static sites
  • Use browser rendering (10 credits) only for JavaScript-heavy sites
  • Test with HTTP first before enabling JavaScript rendering
Only request the number of search pages you need. Each additional page costs 10 credits.
Crawl multiple URLs in a single request when possible to reduce overhead.
Cache crawled content on your side to avoid re-crawling the same URLs.

​
Rate Limits

In addition to credits, each plan has concurrent request limits:
PlanConcurrent Requests

If you exceed your concurrent request limit, you’ll receive a 429 response: 
{
  "error": {
    "code": "CONCURRENT_LIMIT_EXCEEDED",
