No, Clay doesn't have an API that you can use to fetch your remaining credits. We don't offer exposed API endpoints that can be directly queried to use the product outside of our interface.
To view your credit usage, go to your account name, click Settings, then Credit usage in the sidebar.
Hey Ayush, thanks for reaching out. Clay doesn't automatically send notifications for credit usage but it's something we're working towards. However, you can regularly check your credit balance in your account settings to stay updated.
Also, to prevent wasting Clay credits, please consider the following:
1. Turn Off Auto-Update: Disable auto-update while setting up your table to avoid unnecessary credit usage. You can do this by clicking the three dots next to your table name and selecting "Auto-Update Columns" to toggle it off. Once your setup is finalized, you can turn it back on.
2. Qualify Leads Before Enriching: Enrich only the most relevant leads by filtering rows based on criteria like location or industry. Use Conditional Runs to set up rules for when enrichments should occur.
3. Test Enrichments on a Small Sample: Before running an enrichment on an entire column, test it on a small sample to ensure everything works as expected.
4. Use Your Own API Keys: Integrate your own API keys from other providers to reduce the credits spent in Clay.
5. Avoid Duplicate Enrichments: Use Lookup Columns to pull existing data into your current table to avoid spending credits twice for the same data.
