💰 Credit System (Beta Program)

casaGeoTools uses a credit-based API model.

Each API key includes a balance of credits that are valid for 1 year. Unused credits expire after 12 months.

During the public Beta phase, every registered user receives 3,000 free credits.

🔢 Credit usage per API call

Operation	Credits per request	Description
Geocoding	3 credits	Convert address → coordinates
Routing	3 credits	Compute route between two points
Isolines	20 credits	Generate isochrone or isodistance polygon

💡 Example usage

With 3,000 credits you can approximately:

• Geocode 1,000 addresses, or
• Compute 1,000 routes, or
• Generate 150 isolines

You can also combine requests freely:

e.g., 500 geocodes + 250 routes + 50 isolines = 3,000 credits total
