Pricing and limits

Grabber is prepaid. A fetch costs $0.001, or $0.005 with js_render=true. You pay only for a page that was loaded: any error costs nothing. A page whose own server answered 404 or 500 is still a loaded page, so it is a 200 and it is charged. Read data.fetch.httpStatusCode.

Every answer that got as far as billing carries X-Grabber-Cost (what this request cost, in USD) and X-Grabber-Balance (what is left). With unwrap=true the body is the content itself with no envelope, so these headers are the only place the spend is reported.

Grabber is prepaid, with no plan or subscription. Add credit in the dashboard, from $5; the presets are $10, $25, $50, $100. You pay by card through Stripe, and Grabber pays Stripe's fee, so every dollar you pay becomes a dollar of credit.

With auto top-up, your saved card is charged when the balance falls below a level you choose, $5 unless you change it, and $25 of credit is added. Credit is valid for 365 days after you add it.

60 requests per minute per key. Every request with a valid key counts, including one refused for a bad query or for lack of credit. Over the limit the answer is 429 with a Retry-After header.

A rendered fetch (js_render=true) can take up to 120 seconds. Use a client timeout of at least 130 seconds.
