Prices
GET /v1/prices — your account's price in US dollars for each of the four public categories.
GET /v1/prices returns the price in US dollars for one result in
each of the four public categories, at the rate that applies to the
calling account. Authenticated with your API key like every other
public route.
Replaces GET /v1/credit_prices
GET /v1/credit_prices has been removed. buzzabout no longer
bills in credits — your account holds a balance in US dollars and
every chargeable call debits dollars. There is no deprecation
window and no dual-serve: switch to GET /v1/prices and read
dollars. See Pricing.

}Why this exists
So your agent or dashboard can ground cost reasoning in live prices without scraping the docs — and, now that prices are per-account, so you never have to guess which rate you are on. The shape is flat and stable; new categories ship as additive fields.

}Prices depend on your plan
Every action has a fixed unit ratio that is the same for everybody — one collected mention is 1 unit, an audience profile is 3 units, a processed post is 0.5 units. What differs per account is the rate: the dollars one unit costs on your plan. A higher plan buys a cheaper unit.
price for a category = units × your raterate is your account's dollars-per-unit, and each entry under
prices is that rate already multiplied out for you. The example
above is an account on a 0.007 rate, so a mention (1 unit) is
$0.007 and a processed post (0.5 units) is $0.0035.
Read the exact value — do not round
Prices are small numbers and are returned exactly. 0.0035 rounded
to two decimals is $0.00, which makes cost reasoning impossible.
Keep the full value through your arithmetic and round only at the
point of display.
Categories
preview_generation is the per-source price for a
research preview; url previews
refund sources that returned no data.
mention covers both dataset runs and tracking-agent re-scrapes —
they are priced identically and presented to public clients as a
single category.
