API reference
insufficient_credits — HTTP 402
Not enough credits for the request.
Example response
{ "ok": false, "request_id": "req_...", "error": { "code": "insufficient_credits", "message": "Not enough credits for the request." } }
Why it happens
- The account's credit balance is 0 (free signup credits used up, or the monthly allotment is spent).
- A batch request needs more credits than the balance holds.
How to fix it
- Check your balance with GET /api/v1/me (free) or in the dashboard.
- Subscribe to a plan or top up credits at transcriptfetch.com/app/plans — top-ups are $10 per 1,000 credits and never expire.
Retryable? Yes, once credits are available. Failed requests are never charged. Every error response carries a
request_id — include it when contacting support.
