Stripe Checkout. USD 10 for 1,200 calls (0.83 cents each), USD 50 for 7,000 calls (0.71 cents each). Credit never expires while the service runs.
Buy a developer pack
Either use the API directly:
curl -X POST https://data.cleantechcontent.co.uk/v1/credits/checkout \
-H "content-type: application/json" -d '{"pack":"1200","email":"you@example.com"}'
The response holds your new API key and a Stripe Checkout link. Pay by card on the link; the key is credited within seconds. Keep the key: it is shown once. To top up an existing key, include "api_key" in the body.
Or use the buttons below, which do the same thing in your browser.
What counts as a call
One request to any /v1/tariffs* or /v1/charging* endpoint, or one MCP tool call other than get_data_freshness. Cached responses count. Errors caused by us (5xx) do not.
VAT
Prices are in US dollars. No VAT is charged because the operator is not VAT registered; this page will say if that changes.
Refunds
Unused credit on a developer pack is refundable within 14 days of purchase on request to david@cleantechcontent.co.uk. Per-call payments and agent packs are final once the call has been served.
