Kinds of credit

Signup: $5, permanent, once per workspace.
Temporary: from a campaign. The launch campaign adds $20, usable for 24 hours, to every workspace that signs up in launch week. It is listed in temporary with its expires_at; whatever is left then is gone.
Bought: through Stripe Checkout, permanent.

Spend order

Each call spends temporary credit first (soonest to expire), then the signup credit, then bought credit (oldest first). So free credit never sits unused while you pay.

Buying credit

Buy any whole-dollar amount from

5 to

10,000 from your dashboard, or from the API: it returns a Stripe payment page to open or hand to a human.

curl -X POST https://api.datacircle.dev/checkout/ -H "Authorization: Token $DATACIRCLE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"amount_usd": 50}'

{ "checkout_url": "https://checkout.stripe.com/c/pay/..." }

The credit lands as soon as Stripe confirms the payment. Once your workspace has bought $50 in total, the full daily file and the 50M+ US dataset unlock (so do 3 invites, see Files). Free credit never unlocks them.
