Response

One envelope across every endpoint

This illustrative envelope is not a live response or a payload schema. Variable-cost operations may settle a charge different from the list price below. A successful response puts the platform payload in data and reports the exact credits used, remaining balance, request id and cache status beside it.

200 · application/json
{
  "success": true,
  "platform": "github",
  "endpoint": "/v1/github/profile",
  "data": { "…": "platform-specific fields" },
  "credits_used": 1,
  "credits_remaining": 99,
  "request_id": "req_…",
  "cached": false
}

Failures return the shared typed error envelope and cost nothing. Response contract · Error reference
