How many credits does a call use?
Each data field has a credit cost, charged only when the field returns data for the property. Search results are charged per row the same way, so a 100-row page of parcel records costs at most 100 credits.
| Data | Credits |
|---|---|
| Parcel record (boundary, address, owner, APN) | 1 |
| Tax assessor record | 2 |
| Permits | 2 |
| Zoning | 1 |
| Buildable-area screens | 1 |
| Building footprints | 1 |
| Hail history | 1 |
| Historic designations | 1 |
| Property count or map highlight of a search | 1 per call |
| Map tiles beyond the free 5,000 a month | 1 per 1,000 requests |
| Coverage checks, balance, pricing | Free |
The full field list is in the docs, and the `get_pricing` tool returns the current costs.
How do I add credits?
- Sign in to your Parceled account with the email you connect Parceled with, then choose a credit pack or set up pay-as-you-go. You pay on Stripe's checkout page.
- Credits land on the account, so every connection on that email sees them: ChatGPT, Claude, other MCP clients and API keys.
- In Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients, the `purchase_credits` and `enable_payg` tools return the same Stripe checkout link to open in your browser.
What happens when I run out?
A call that would go past your free calls, your credit balance or your monthly cap is refused with a billing error before anything is charged. Nothing renews by itself: prepaid packs are one-time purchases, and pay-as-you-go bills only what you used that month.
Frequently asked questions
Do Parceled credits expire?
No. Prepaid credits stay on the account until they are used.
Can I cap what pay-as-you-go spends?
Yes. Set a monthly cap in credits on your account page. Calls are refused once the month reaches it, and the count resets on the 1st.
Do I pay for empty results?
No. A field that returns no data for a property costs nothing.
