Balance and top-ups
MiniAPI is prepaid. You add money, and each job's price comes out of your balance.
Add money
Add funds in the console with a card: $10, $25, $50, $100, or any whole amount up to $10,000. Money you add also moves you up the rate limit steps.
What a job costs
A job's price is fixed when you submit it, from the price list. To see it first, send the same body to the quote endpoint. A quote is free.
