davgilaQ: API Integration: Hard stops for billing and Deduplication logic?
Hi! I am building a custom API integration to pull data into my own database. Given the feedbacks here about accidental overages, I want to program a "bulletproof" hard stop on my end.
1. Real-time Usage Endpoint: Does the API provide an endpoint to check my exact current monthly credit usage (specifically for the LTD limit)? I want my system to query this before initiating a scrape to ensure it never exceeds the 5,000 limit.
2. API Deduplication: I know the dashboard attempts to filter duplicates within a task. Does the API automatically filter duplicates across separate API calls over time, or is deduplication only active within a single request payload? I am seeing some duplicates via API and want to ensure I am using the correct parameters to avoid wasting credits on the same leads.

Dec 13, 2025A: Hi @davgila,
Thanks for reaching out! Currently, we do not provide an endpoint to check your current monthly usage but you can utilize the 'maximum results limit' and set up to a certain number of results to avoid exceeding from your ltd limit. You can also keep track of your usage located in your profile page.
We're unable to remove or filter duplicates across separate API calls. It's recommend to use different categories or locations in each request.
