- The platform fails or returns an errorThe call comes back as failed and costs nothing.
upstream_error0 credits - The call times out with no resultWe cannot tell whether it ran, so we cover it. We do not retry on our own.
timeout0 credits - Your request is not validRejected before anything runs, with a hint on how to fix it.
invalid_params0 credits - The post or account is goneA deleted post or a closed account costs nothing on most calls; where the platform's source charges for the lookup, it costs the call's price and the answer says charged: true.
not_found0 credits - The platform does not support that actionFor example, trending on a platform with no trending list.
not_supported0 credits
Failed calls are free. A call that ran is charged, even if it found nothing. On a few calls the platform cannot tell a target that does not exist from one with no data: both come back as an empty result and are charged. The pages of those calls say so.
On sign-up, no card. Try real calls on real data before you pay anything.
