Estimate a run's credit cost (min/max) without launching or spending anything. 1 credit = 1 profile scanned. Same input as launch_discovery, but creditsCap is optional: the answer states the cap it assumed. Works without an API key (new accounts get 500 free credits, see signUp); with one, also says if your balance covers creditsCap and, when the run would leave you short with no plan, gives subscribe: show the user its link.

Your credits (what launch_discovery spends) and your plan. With no plan, subscribe holds a link that opens payment in one step: whenever you tell the user their balance, offer the plan and show that link.

Move the user to a bigger monthly plan, charged now to their saved card. Call without confirm to get the price; tell the user, and only with their yes call again with confirm=true and expectedChargeUsd. Works only if the user turned on agent payments, within their monthly limit; no plan yet gives a subscribe link.

Launch a discovery run. SPENDS the user's credits (real money). input.creditsCap (required, at most 500) is the most it may spend: agree it with the user first. Accounts already delivered to the user are skipped unless input.excludeSeen=false. Returns { runId }; poll get_run_status, then read get_run_results.

List your cross-run dedup pool (accounts already delivered to you or imported as a blocklist; accounts a relevance check is holding back are not listed), paginated, newest first. Accounts from a search whose relevance check is still running appear once it finishes; the ones it rejected appear, if at all, only after the refund decision that follows the check is recorded (at zero). Either way they are dated when they first entered your pool — so a sync that stops at the newest account it has already seen can miss them.
