## Frequently asked questions

### Account & billing

<details>

<summary><strong>How do credits work?</strong></summary>

Credits are consumed when you make successful API requests. The cost depends on the endpoint and amount of data returned. Failed requests don't consume credits.

[Learn more about credits →](https://github.com/epctex/pullbay-docs/blob/main/documentation/core-concepts/credits.md)

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>What happens when I run out of credits?</strong></summary>

When your balance reaches zero, API requests will be rejected with a `402 Payment Required` error. You can add credits anytime from your dashboard without changing your plan.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Can I get a refund?</strong></summary>

Credits are non-refundable but never expire. If you believe you were charged incorrectly, contact support with your request details.

</details>

### API & integration

<details>

<summary><strong>What's the difference between standard and managed pagination?</strong></summary>

**Standard pagination** — You control the flow, requesting one page at a time. Best for custom apps where you need partial data.

**Managed pagination** — Pullbay fetches all pages and returns aggregated results. Best for n8n/Make.com workflows.

Both cost the same per amount of data.

[Learn more about pagination →](https://github.com/epctex/pullbay-docs/blob/main/documentation/core-concepts/pagination.md)

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Why am I getting rate limited?</strong></summary>

Rate limits depend on your plan. Check the `X-RateLimit-Remaining` header in responses. If you consistently hit limits, consider upgrading your plan or optimizing your request patterns.

[Learn more about rate limits →](https://github.com/epctex/pullbay-docs/blob/main/documentation/using-the-api/rate-limits.md)

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Can I use Pullbay with n8n or Make.com?</strong></summary>

Yes! Pullbay is designed for automation tools. Use managed pagination endpoints (`/all`) to get complete datasets in one request without writing pagination loops.

[See n8n integration guide →](https://github.com/epctex/pullbay-docs/blob/main/documentation/integrations/n8n-integration.md)

</details>

### Data & reliability

<details>

<summary><strong>How fresh is the data?</strong></summary>

Data is fetched in real-time when you make a request. We don't cache results, so you always get the latest available data from the source.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>What happens if an endpoint is down?</strong></summary>

Check the service health in your dashboard. If an endpoint is experiencing issues, requests may fail or return partial results. We handle retries internally when possible.

[Check service health →](https://github.com/epctex/pullbay-docs/blob/main/documentation/monitoring-and-reliability/service-health.md)

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Can I request a new data source?</strong></summary>

Yes! Contact us through the dashboard or email with:

* The data source you need
* Your use case
* Expected volume

We prioritize based on demand and feasibility.
