Veedcrawl uses a credit system to meter API usage. Some operations — like fetching metadata or checking your account — are always free. Others, like transcription and AI visual extraction, consume credits depending on the method used. You can check your remaining balance at any time by calling GET /v1/me.
Credit costs
| Operation | Credits |
|---|
Metadata (GET /v1/metadata) | 0 — free |
Account info (GET /v1/me) | 0 — free |
| Transcript — native captions | 1 |
| Transcript — AI Whisper | 5 |
| AI visual extraction | 10 |
Metadata is always free and never consumes credits, even on paid plans. Use it as a first pass to evaluate videos before committing credits to transcription or extraction.
