What are API credits?

API credits are what you spend to call the CreatorDB API and the CreatorDB MCP server. Different endpoints cost different amounts, and with fractional calls you pay only for the fields you request. Paid plans include monthly credits, and you can buy more credits on any plan, including the Free plan. For details, see API credit usage and Fractional calls.

How often is the data updated?

We update the CreatorDB database daily!

CreatorDB refreshes creator profiles continuously, and every profile shows when its data was last updated. The data update frequency is based on the creator’s importance and takes into account sponsorship activity, engagement rates, number of followers or subscribers, and other creator statistics.

How can I buy more API credits?

Click APIs to open the API dashboard. In the Remaining API credit section, click Buy more. On the Purchase V3 API credits page, select or enter the amount of credits you want to buy, then click Purchase. Plan credits refresh each monthly cycle and don’t roll over. Purchased credits expire one year from the purchase date. For details, see Buying API credits.

Can I get a refund for API credits?

No. Purchased credits are valid for 1 year and are non-refundable. Credits included in your plan renew monthly and don’t roll over. For details, see Viewing remaining API credits.

Can my API credits reload automatically?

Yes. On the API dashboard Billing tab, save a card and set up auto-reload. When your balance falls below the amount you choose, CreatorDB charges your card to bring it back to your target balance. You can also set a monthly spend limit to cap automatic charges. For details, see Setting up auto-reload.

How can I view my API quota?
