# Usage

> Monitor credit consumption, allocation, and per-API breakdown (synchronous, 200).

- **Endpoint:** `GET https://api.nyne.ai/usage`
- **Group:** Account APIs (https://api.nyne.ai/documentation/account.md)
- **Auth:** `X-API-Key` + `X-API-Secret` headers
- **Mode:** Synchronous - the response is returned inline.
- **HTML version:** https://api.nyne.ai/documentation/account/usage

A single synchronous endpoint to view all your API usage across enrichment and search requests: credits consumed, monthly allocation, remaining balance, and detailed per-API breakdowns. Defaults to the current month; pass `month` and `year` to read an earlier period (future periods are rejected with `invalid_date`). Usage checks are free - they never consume credits.

## Authentication

All `/person/*` and `/company/*` endpoints authenticate with an API key and secret sent as HTTP headers on every request: `X-API-Key` and `X-API-Secret`. Create keys from your Nyne dashboard and keep the secret server-side. Rate limits: 100 requests/minute, 1,000 requests/hour. Full guide: https://api.nyne.ai/documentation/authentication.md
