Batch endpoints like /multi/prices send up to 10 tokens per call. Each token = 1 billed request. One API call with 10 tokens = 10 billed requests. This applies to all tiers.
Auto-recharge
When you exceed your Pro base (5M), we auto-charge $20 per 1M block to your card. You're never interrupted. Monthly spend is hard-capped at $2,000. Buy bulk packs upfront to pay less per request.
Streaming metering
Every SSE price update counts as 1 request. 10 tokens streaming for 8 hours = 8.6M requests/month. Enterprise streaming is unmetered. No token limits on any tier, just request volume.

Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as a request?
Every HTTP call to the API counts as 1 request. Batch endpoints like /multi/prices with 10 tokens count as 10 requests (one per token). SSE streaming updates also count: each price update = 1 request.
What happens when I hit my free limit?
You get an HTTP 429 response. On the anonymous tier (200K/month), the response suggests registering for a free API key to get 500K/month. On the registered tier (500K), it suggests upgrading to Pro. Your data access stops, but you're never charged.
How do overages work on Pro?
When you exceed your 5M included requests, we auto-charge $20 per additional 1M block to your card. This continues until your monthly spend hits $2,000, then we cap it. You can also pre-buy bulk packs (5M for $79, 15M for $199, 50M for $499) which are cheaper per request.
Is the data really real-time on the free tier?
Yes. Every tier gets real-time data with zero artificial delay. We don't throttle freshness to upsell. Free tiers are limited by volume and history depth, not data quality.
Do I need an API key?
Not for the anonymous tier. You can make 200K requests/month per IP with no signup at all. Register for a free API key (no credit card) to get 500K/month. Pro and Enterprise require API keys.
Can AI agents use DexPaprika?
Yes. The anonymous tier requires no API key, so any AI agent can query DexPaprika out of the box. We also offer free MCP integration for Claude, Cursor, and other AI clients. In Q3 2026, x402 micropayments will let agents pay per request with crypto.
How does streaming billing work?
SSE streaming is available on Pro and Enterprise. Each price update delivered over the stream counts as 1 billed request. If you stream 10 tokens at 1 update/second for 8 hours/day, that's about 8.6M requests/month. Enterprise streaming is unmetered.
What's the difference between auto-recharge and bulk packs?
Auto-recharge is automatic: when you exceed 5M, we charge $20 per 1M block to your card. Bulk packs are pre-purchased at a discount (21-50% cheaper). You can use both: buy a pack for your expected usage, and auto-recharge handles any overflow.
Can I switch plans or cancel anytime?
Yes. Upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time. No contracts, no cancellation fees. If you downgrade mid-cycle, you keep your current tier until the end of the billing period.
When should I consider Enterprise?
When your Pro bill consistently approaches $1,000-2,000/month, Enterprise usually makes more sense. You get unlimited requests, unmetered streaming, dedicated infrastructure, a 99.95% SLA, and a dedicated account manager. Contact us and we'll build a custom plan.
