4. Points-Based Billing and API Tokens

Points-Based Billing System

All API calls are billed in points. Points are deducted BEFORE processing each request. Each API has its own point cost (1-7 points per call) based on computational requirements:

  • Point Packages: Starter (100 points, $10), Professional (500 points, $40), Enterprise (1000 points, $70)
  • API Point Costs: Range from 1-7 points per call depending on complexity (e.g., CSV-to-JSON: 2 points, Structify: 3 points, AI-powered APIs: 3-7 points)
  • Pre-Deduction: Points are deducted atomically BEFORE processing to ensure fair billing
  • Insufficient Balance: API calls are rejected immediately if your points balance is insufficient

Billing and Payments

  • Points are purchased in packages through our payment provider Polar.sh
  • All payments are processed securely through Polar.sh with standard payment methods
  • Points do not expire and remain in your account until used
  • No refunds for points once purchased, except as required by law

API Token Management

Users can generate multiple API tokens with custom names and scopes for different applications:

  • Multi-Token Support: Create unlimited API tokens with custom names for different projects
  • Token Scopes: Restrict tokens to specific APIs if needed
  • Rate Limiting: Each token has a rate limit (default: 60 requests per minute)
  • Token Security: Tokens are bearer tokens and must be kept secure. We are not responsible for compromised tokens

5. Intellectual Property Rights

Our Intellectual Property

All content, features, and functionality of AppHighway and its APIs are owned by us and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

Your API Request Data

You retain ownership of data you send to our APIs. By using our services, you grant us a limited license to process your data to provide API responses. We respect your privacy and handle data according to our Privacy Policy.

API Response Usage Rights

You have full rights to use API responses in your applications and products. However, you may not redistribute raw API responses as a competing service without adding significant value.

7. Service Limitations and Disclaimers

Service Availability

While we strive for 99.9% uptime, we cannot guarantee uninterrupted service availability. Maintenance windows and technical issues may temporarily affect API access.

API Response Accuracy

IMPORTANT: Our APIs provide responses based on algorithms, data processing, and in some cases AI models. APIs can produce inaccurate, incomplete, or unexpected results. You are solely responsible for validating API responses before using them in production. We are not liable for any damages arising from the use of incorrect API responses.

Rate Limits and Fair Use

API tokens are subject to rate limits (default: 60 requests per minute). Excessive use that impacts platform stability may result in temporary throttling or account suspension. We reserve the right to adjust rate limits to maintain service quality.
