Key Usage
Check your credit balance.
Paste your API key to see your plan, how many checks you've used this month, and how many you have left. It's read-only — checking your balance never spends a credit.
How credits work
One credit is one compliance check. Every plan runs the full deterministic + AI guardrail across all 8 platforms — you're charged on volume, not depth.
1 credit = 1 check
Each /compliance-check call spends one credit and returns the full result — no watered-down free tier.
Resets monthly
Usage counts per calendar month and resets to your full allowance at 00:00 UTC on the 1st.

Usage FAQ
How do I check my Compliance API usage?▾
Paste your API key on this page — it calls a read-only balance endpoint and shows your plan, credits used this month, credits remaining, and the reset date. Checking your balance never spends a credit. Programmatically, send a GET request to /api/v1/credits with 'Authorization: Bearer <key>'.
What counts as one credit?▾
One credit = one compliance check (one call to /api/v1/compliance-check). Every plan runs the full deterministic + AI guardrail across all 8 platforms — you're charged on volume, not depth.
When do my credits reset?▾
Credits reset at 00:00 UTC on the 1st of each calendar month. Usage is counted per calendar month, so your remaining balance returns to your plan's full allowance at the start of every month.
How much does each plan include?▾
Free includes 50 checks/month, Starter 5,000/month ($99), and Growth 25,000/month ($299). For higher volume or embedding at scale, contact us about a Scale plan.
I lost my API key — can you show it again?▾
No. For security we store only a SHA-256 hash of your key, never the raw value, so it can't be shown again. If you've lost it, email info@auditsocials.com and we'll help you rotate to a new one.
What happens when I run out of credits?▾
Further checks return a 429 with an upgrade link until your credits reset on the 1st of the month. Upgrade to Starter or Growth for a higher monthly allowance that takes effect immediately.
