- If you crawl 10 pages with basic extraction depth, you’ll be charged 1 credit for mapping (10 pages) + 2 credits for extraction (10 successful extractions ÷ 5) = 3 total credits
- If you crawl 10 pages with advanced extraction depth, you’ll be charged 1 credit for mapping + 4 credits for extraction = 5 total credits
