Pricing and limits

Understand Scry credits, congestion pricing, query metering, and the limits that keep requests bounded.

Credits

Signup includes $10 of credit. The dashboard shows the wallet balance, query history, spend, key budgets, and account limits.

Query pricing

SQL queries cost nothing while the system has slack. Measured congestion can reprice admission. GET /v1/scry/pricing returns the current pricing and metering contract, and each query response reports its actual accounting fields. Local rerank lanes report zero cost. Web search is priced per provider that answers.

Query bounds

The SQL endpoint accepts one read-only statement. Ordinary result sets require a literal LIMIT; begin at LIMIT 20. The validator and serving role enforce result-row, result-byte, rows-read, execution-time, and memory ceilings. The response reports truncation and execution details when they apply.

Rate and account limits

Admission can return a typed capacity or auction error with Retry-After. API keys can also carry a per-minute rate limit and a monthly spend limit. The server returns the active limit in account and error responses rather than publishing one fixed number for every key.
