The service does not change it. | Service | Credits | Starter | Pro | Platinum | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Forecast | $0.02 per 100 requests | $0.199 per thousand requests | $0.133 per thousand requests | $0.11 per thousand requests | | Severe weather | $0.02 per 100 requests | $0.199 per thousand requests | $0.133 per thousand requests | $0.11 per thousand requests | | Road weather time series | $0.02 per 100 requests | $0.199 per thousand requests | $0.133 per thousand requests | $0.11 per thousand requests | | Radar and weather layers | $0.02 per 100 requests | $0.199 per thousand requests | $0.133 per thousand requests | $0.11 per thousand requests | One call is one request, whatever it returns. A time series call with a list of points counts as one request. Each map tile is its own call, so it counts as one request. ## Plans and what they include | Plan | Fee | Included credit | Purchase body | Verified email | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Credits | None | None | `{"amountUsd": ""}`: at least $0.02 on a wallet rail or $0.50 by card | - | | Starter | $199 a month | $199 | No amount. The fee is charged. | Requested: shared at purchase if your credential is claimed, or when you claim it | | Pro | $399 a month | $399 | No amount. The fee is charged. | Requested: shared at purchase if your credential is claimed, or when you claim it | | Platinum | $549 a month | $550 | No amount. The fee is charged. | Requested: shared at purchase if your credential is claimed, or when you claim it | Each plan covers all four services. Credits draw down a prepaid balance at the Credits rate. On a monthly plan, the fee includes credit that covers usage at the plan's rate. Usage beyond that credit is billed on top of the fee at the same rate. ## Monthly usage at stated volumes The table gives usage at each plan's rate only: the request count times the rate. It does not include a monthly plan's fee. The figures use the forecast rate. Every service has the same rate on a plan, so they hold for any mix of services. | Requests in a month | Credits | Starter | Pro | Platinum | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 100,000 | $20 | $19.90 | $13.30 | $11 | | 500,000 | $100 | $99.50 | $66.50 | $55 | | 2,000,000 | $400 | $398 | $266 | $220 | | 4,000,000 | $800 | $796 | $532 | $440 | | 10,000,000 | $2000 | $1990 | $1330 | $1100 | On Credits, the month costs the usage figure. On a monthly plan, usage draws on the included credit, and usage beyond it is metered at the plan's rate on top of the fee. ## What one request draws An example forecast call on Credits: ```bash curl -sS -i "https://agents.myradar.dev/zcj/zj375myw4zhh/v1/forecast/38.8977,-77.0365?units=us" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN" ``` This request drew $0.0002 from Credits, one request at $0.02 per 100 requests. The response is a JSON object with `latitude`, `longitude`, `timezone`, `currently`, `minutely`, `hourly`, `daily` and `flags`. Its `zc-billing` header reports what the call drew, in this shape: ``` zc-billing: {"status":"settled","fundingSource":"credit","chargedUsd":"","remainingCreditUsd":""} ``` `fundingSource` is `credit` for Credits and `subscription` for a monthly plan. ## Buying, topping up and checking a plan | Action | Request | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | | Buy a plan | `POST https://agents.myradar.dev/zcj/zj375myw4zhh/plans/{planId}/purchase` | Send your bearer.

Registering a credential is free. - Paying the purchase's 402 completes the purchase and accepts the [platform buyer terms](https://www.zeroclick.ai/legal/buyer-terms-of-service). - Calls never answer with a 402. A call without a plan is refused with `401` or `403` and draws nothing. - On Credits, each call draws one request at the Credits rate. On a monthly plan, the fee is charged at purchase and usage beyond the included credit is metered at the plan's rate. - An anonymous credential that nobody claims lapses within a few days, taking any plan bought with it. Claim it to a verified email before or soon after buying. ## Frequently asked questions ### How much does one MyRadar API request cost? One request costs $0.02 per 100 requests, $0.199 per thousand requests, $0.133 per thousand requests or $0.11 per thousand requests. The rate is the same for forecast, severe weather, road weather time series and radar and weather layers. ### What do 1,000 requests cost? 1,000 requests cost $0.20 on Credits, $0.199 at the Starter rate, $0.133 at the Pro rate and $0.11 at the Platinum rate. On a monthly plan, that usage draws on the included credit first. ### Can I pay per call without buying a plan? No. Every call draws on a plan bought with a bearer credential, and a bare call returns `401 bearer_required`. The smallest Credits purchase is $0.02 on a wallet rail. ### Do monthly plans charge for usage beyond the fee? Yes, beyond the included credit. Starter includes $199, Pro $399 and Platinum $550. Usage past that credit is billed at the plan's rate on top of the fee. ### How do I check which plan I already hold? Send `GET https://agents.myradar.dev/zcj/zj375myw4zhh/agent/entitlements` with your bearer. It lists your active plans here with status, period and `remainingCreditUsd`. An empty list shows no active plan, but it does not rule out a pending purchase, so reconcile before buying again. ## Keep reading - [Get a weather forecast by latitude and longitude](/guides/quickstart) - [MyRadar API errors and recovery](/guides/errors) - [The buyer skill](https://agents.myradar.dev/zcj/zj375myw4zhh/SKILL.md): the full purchase flow - [How to pay](https://agents.myradar.dev/zcj/zj375myw4zhh/payment.md): rails, plans and top-ups - [manifest.json](https://agents.myradar.dev/zcj/zj375myw4zhh/manifest.json): live plans and prices --- Updated 2026-10-20.
