Step 2: Purchase Credits

After logging in, click on "Buy some credits" to purchase credits for API usage.

Buy some credits

You'll need to add a credit card to purchase credits. The credit system works by pre-purchasing credits that are then used as you make API calls. Credits are deducted based on your usage, and you can set up auto-reload to automatically purchase more credits when your balance runs low.
