Tracking Your Credit Usage

EmailKit provides multiple ways to monitor your credit consumption so you always know where your credits are going.

Credit History Page

The Credit History page gives you a complete log of all credit activity:

1. Go to Credit History in the sidebar

2. See a chronological list of all credit transactions

3. Each entry shows:

- Date and time of the transaction

- Type — Purchase, verification deduction, refund

- Amount — Credits added or deducted

- Balance after — Running balance

- Description — What triggered the transaction (e.g., "Single verification", "Bulk job #123", "Credit purchase")

Billing Page

The Billing page provides an overview of your account:

• Current credit balance — How many credits you have available

• Recent transactions — Latest purchases and usage

• Export option — Download your transaction history as CSV

API Credit Check

Check your balance programmatically:

curl https://api.emailkit.dev/api/v1/credits \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ek_your_api_key"

Response:

{
  "balance": 4520
}

Low Credit Alerts

Set up a webhook to get notified when your credits are running low:

1. Create a webhook with the credits.low event

2. EmailKit will POST to your URL when your balance drops below the threshold

See Using Webhooks for setup instructions.

Exporting Transaction History

To download your complete credit history:

1. Go to Billing in the sidebar

2. Click Export Transactions

3. A CSV file will download with all your credit transactions

The CSV includes: date, type, credits, balance, and description for each transaction.

Understanding Credit Consumption Patterns

Tips for tracking where your credits go:

• Dashboard verifications — Each single verify from Quick Verify costs 1 credit

• Bulk jobs — The bulk job history page shows how many credits each job consumed

• API usage — API verifications are logged the same as dashboard verifications

• Refunds — Non-billable results appear as positive credit adjustments in your history
