Field notes
The example request uses an x-api-key header and returns platform, endpoint, data, credits_used, and cached fields. The page says endpoints document their limits, and that calls without a working upstream identify that state rather than guessing. It also says shared cache hits cost zero credits and failed calls are refunded; those are presented as service terms, not independently verified behavior.
