Mr. Usage › Tavily

Check your Tavily credits

Mr. Usage reads Tavily's documented usage endpoint with your own key and keeps a card refreshed on its own. Main number: plan credits left, out of the plan's credits. Details: the plan name, how many credits this key alone has used, and pay-as-you-go usage against its limit when that is switched on.

What the Tavily card shows

Main number: plan credits left, out of the plan's credits. Details: the plan name, how many credits this key alone has used, and pay-as-you-go usage against its limit when that is switched on. A yellow "Low" badge appears under 20% left and a red "Nearly out" badge under 5%, with a line of today's readings underneath.

Questions

Does checking my Tavily usage cost credits?

Tavily's pricing page lists search, extract, map, crawl and research as the calls that consume credits. The usage call is not among them.

Where does my Tavily API key go?

Into your operating system's credential store, under the service name mr-usage: Keychain on macOS, Credential Manager on Windows, the Secret Service on Linux. The app reads it at the moment it calls the vendor, wraps it in a zeroizing type, and drops it. It is never written to a file of the app's own and never sent back to the window.

How often is the card refreshed?

Every 5 minutes by default. Settings lets you pick anything from 1 minute to 24 hours, and changing the interval takes effect from the last poll. There is also a Refresh button on each card, limited to once a minute.
