Billing model
Crawlora charges credits only for a successful 2xx response. A request that returns anything else — a block, a timeout, a 4xx or 5xx — costs zero. Each endpoint has one flat, published credit weight (from 1 for a lightweight lookup up to 15 for a full managed-browser scrape), and proxies, retries, JavaScript rendering and CAPTCHA handling are already included— you pay that weight only when the call works.

Behind one endpoint, Crawlora climbs the transport ladder until something retrieves the page. That work is Crawlora's cost, not a meter on your bill.
A single call may try a Chrome-impersonated HTTP fetch, then a real headless browser, then a stealth browser on residential egress— stopping at the first transport that returns your data. However many attempts that takes, you are charged the endpoint’s fixed weight once, and only if the final response is a 2xx.
If every transport fails, you get a documented error and pay nothing. The credit weight is the same whether a page fell out of a plain HTTP request or needed the full unblocker — there is no premium-proxy surcharge, no per-render multiplier, and no charge for the retries in between.
Charged
2xx response with your data→ the endpoint’s published weight, once.
Not charged
Anti-bot block, timeout, 4xx/5xx, unusable page→ documented error, 0 credits.
A representative slice of the catalog, priced straight from Crawlora's billing table. Every weight is the charge on a 2xx; a failed request on any of these is 0.

Full per-endpoint weights are in each endpoint’s docs and the pricing calculator.
No. Credits are charged only for successful 2xx responses. A block, timeout, or 4xx/5xx error costs zero credits — you are never billed for a request that didn't return your data.
A 2xx HTTP response carrying the data payload. Documented non-2xx errors — anti-bot blocks, upstream 4xx/5xx, timeouts, and unusable pages — return a clear error code and are free.
No. Each endpoint has a single published credit weight that already covers proxy routing, retries, headless-browser execution, and challenge handling. There are no per-transport multipliers — Crawlora absorbs the cost of however hard it had to work to return a 2xx.
It depends on the endpoint, and every weight is published before you call. Lightweight lookups (a Reddit search, a Spotify track) are 1–2 credits; search and social endpoints run 3–10; the generic managed-browser scrape (web/scrape) is 15. You pay that number only on success.
Yes. Every endpoint's credit weight is listed in its docs and in the pricing calculator, so cost is deterministic — you know it up front and never discover it after a surprise charge.
Bandwidth pricing (per GB) and per-attempt pricing both bill you for work that failed — a blocked page still burns proxy GB or a request credit. Crawlora bills per successful result, so failed attempts, retries, and the proxies behind them are on us.
