Tiered Pricing

Five core endpoints support three quality tiers. Select with the X-Response-Quality header (default: fresh).
EndpointCachedFresh (default)Enhanced
POST /v1/entity/check$0.01$0.05$0.15
POST /v1/risk/score$0.005$0.01$0.05
POST /v1/reputation/score$0.01$0.03$0.10
GET /v1/compliance/report/{id}$0.10$0.50$1.50
POST /v1/kyb/check$0.25$1.25$2.50

Quality Tier Definitions

Return Redis-cached result if available. Use when freshness isn’t critical and you want the lowest cost. Set X-Response-Quality: cached.
Always run full data source fan-out. This is the default behavior when no header is sent. Set X-Response-Quality: fresh.
Full fan-out plus premium data sources. Use for high-value transactions requiring maximum confidence. Set X-Response-Quality: enhanced.

Flat-Priced Endpoints

These endpoints have a single price regardless of quality tier:
