Pricing and limits

API calls use the same credits and prices as the website. Buy credits under Settings → Billing. Pack prices are in US dollars; VAT or sales tax is added at checkout where applicable.

Credits per conversion

What	Credits
Converted page (PDF, Word, PowerPoint, images; OCR included)	15 per page
Spreadsheet, plain text, Markdown or CSV	15 per file
Repeat conversion of identical content (`cached: true`)	1 per page
Failed or canceled job	0

When a job starts, credits for its estimated pages are reserved. When it finishes, you are charged for the pages actually converted and the rest is refunded. Every job has a receipt:

curl "https://anythingmd.com/api/v1/receipts?jobId=job_..." \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ANYTHINGMD_API_KEY"

To see the price before converting, request a quote with POST /api/v1/quotes. Quotes for uploaded files and for URLs both use the page count read from the file, so a quote equals what the conversion will reserve. Quoting a URL downloads it once (up to 50 MB) to read that count, so it counts against the per-minute job/upload limit; a URL whose server does not report a size cannot be quoted, but can still be converted.

Convert what your credits cover

Send "allowPartial": true when creating a job. If your credits do not cover the whole document, the job converts as many pages as they do instead of failing, and reports where it stopped:

{
  "status": "succeeded",
  "pageRange": { "start": 1, "end": 20 },
  "partial": true,
  "nextStartPage": 21,
  "estimatedTotalPages": 154
}

After buying credits, create another job for the same source with "startPage": 21 to convert the rest. You are charged only for the pages converted.

Not enough credits

Without allowPartial, or when the balance does not cover even one page, the job is refused with 402 Payment Required, and nothing is reserved:

{
  "error": "Insufficient credits for this operation.",
  "code": "insufficient_credits",
  "requiredCredits": 450,
  "availableCredits": 120,
  "topUpPath": "/settings/billing"
}

Limits

Limit	Value
Job, upload, cancel and URL-quote requests	60 per minute per key (10 per minute until the workspace’s first purchase)
Pages per document	1,000

Over the rate limit you get 429 with a Retry-After header. Documents over the page limit are refused with 413 before anything is reserved; split them and convert the parts.
