Pay as you go.

A research run is a deep async research task kicked off via POST /runs. NoodleSpy discovers sources, reads them, and returns structured findings. Credits scale with depth: quick = 1 credit, standard = 2 credits, deep = 3 credits.

Utility calls are the lighter endpoints: POST /search/web, POST /search/grounded, and POST /fetch. Utility calls are unlimited and do not consume credits.

No. Credits never expire. Buy them when you need them and use them at your own pace.

Research runs will return a 429 response. Utility calls (search, fetch) remain available. Purchase another credit block to continue running research.

Failed runs are refunded automatically. Only completed runs consume credits.
