Using the HG Insights API consumes credits from your account. Understanding how credits work helps you manage your usage effectively.
Each API request consumes credits based on the data you retrieve. When you make a request to the API, credits are deducted from your account's available balance.
The number of credits consumed depends on:
- Number of companies: Each company enriched in your request counts toward credit usage
- Field groups requested: The data categories you include (firmographics, spend, technographics)
Your account has a yearly credit allocation based on your subscription plan.
To check your current credit balance, log in to admin.hginsights.com and go to Settings > Credits Usage.
From the Credits Usage page, click Request more credits. You can also reach out directly to your account manager.
