Warning!

This is your secret API key, so please keep it private. We charge you credits based on usage associated with it. If for some reason you need a new API key, you can always generate one from the dashboard.

Self-Serve Plans

PDL offers three plan tiers, each available for Person, Company, and IP data:

You can sign up for a Free plan and upgrade to Pro directly from the API Dashboard — no sales call required. If you need volume above 100k records, contact sales to discuss an Enterprise plan.

How Credits Work

PDL uses usage-based pricing. Credits are consumed per successful match (a request that returns at least one profile with a 200 status code). Unsuccessful requests are not billed.

• Enrichment APIs (Person, Company, IP): 1 credit per successful request
• Bulk Enrichment APIs: Up to 100 credits per request (1 per match in the batch)
• Search APIs (Person, Company): 1 credit per profile returned
• Autocomplete and Cleaner APIs: No credits consumed — managed by rate limits instead

See the documentation for specific API endpoints to view the exact credit usage rates.

Check your remaining credits and usage anytime on the Usage tab in the API Dashboard, or programmatically via response headers.

Max Number of API Keys

Each plan also allows you to have a certain number of active, unique API keys associated to your account:
