Frequently asked questions
How does billing work?
Two line items per request: bandwidth ($1 per GB of pre-transformation content) and compute ($0.001 per minute of CPU). Most pages land at a fraction of a cent. Failed requests cost $0.
Does my balance expire?
No. Pay as you go has no subscription. Top up once and use the balance whenever you need it. Nothing resets monthly. Unlimited is a separate monthly plan you pick on the Unlimited tab.
What if I need to top up more?
Top up any amount, any time. A single purchase of $500 or more earns an automatic bonus, and the top up form shows the exact percentage for each amount. You never have to negotiate for it.
How does the Unlimited plan work?
Instead of paying per request, you buy concurrency. One unit is one request in flight. Pick any amount from 2 ($40/mo) up to 1,538 ($19,994/mo) and run unlimited requests through it for a flat monthly price. The per-unit cost drops from $20 to $13 as you add concurrency. Stripe bills each price band on its own line, so one subscription shows several line items on the invoice. Above the self-serve maximum, talk to sales for a per-unit rate. Geo-targeting is not available on Unlimited yet.
What happens when all my Unlimited concurrency is busy?
Requests beyond your concurrency limit get an immediate 429 with a Retry-After header. Spider queues nothing server-side and bills nothing extra. Retry or back off on your side, or add concurrency at any time. Any whole number works, not only the listed tiers.
Are there multipliers for JS rendering or proxies?
No. JS rendering bills as compute. Standard proxy rotation comes with every request. Residential and ISP pools and AI extraction have their own prices, listed under Pricing details above.
What are the rate limits?
Every account can make up to 10,000 core API requests per minute by default. Contact us if you need higher throughput.
What if I get blocked?
Spider Cloud includes an Unblocker with stealth, rotating proxies, and automatic retries. Heavily protected sites route to the Browser Cloud, which runs full browser sessions with anti-detection built in.
Does it respect robots.txt?
Yes. Spider follows robots.txt by default. You can turn it off per request.
What formats can Spider return?
HTML, raw, plain text, and multiple markdown formats. API responses support JSON, JSONL, CSV, and XML.
Per-endpoint costs are on the Scrape API and Crawl API pages, every parameter is in the API docs, and the AI agents use case shows a crawl wired in as an agent tool.
