# Account managment

### 1. Real-time credit balance monitoring

**Who it's for**

Platform integrators, finance teams, admins managing API spend.

**Problem**

Teams using API at scale need to monitor credit balance to avoid service interruption or overspend. No visibility = budget surprises.

**What Generect enables**

`GET /api/v1/accounts/mereturns` current credit balance, monthly usage, and plan details including Preview tier eligibility.

**How it works**

1. Call `GET /api/v1/accounts/me `
2. Check credits.balance and credits.used\_this\_month
3. Set alerts in your system when balance drops below threshold

**Input data**

API key (authentication)

**Outcome**

* Real-time credit balance visibility
* Proactive alerts before credits run out
* Clear plan and tier information

### 2. API usage analytics by operation type

**Who it's for**

Product managers, data ops, finance teams optimizing API costs.

**Problem**

Teams don't know which API operations consume most credits. Can't optimize spend without breakdown.

**What Generect enables**

`GET /api/v1/accounts/usagereturns` credit breakdown by operation type: search (database/realtime), enrich, email find.

**How it works**

1. Call `GET /api/v1/accounts/usage`
2. See breakdown: how many credits spent on search vs enrich vs email
3. Identify most expensive operations
4. Optimize: switch from realtime to database where freshness isn't critical

**Input data**

API key, period

**Outcome**

* Full cost transparency by operation type
* Data-driven optimization of API usage
* Clear ROI per API feature

### 3. Transaction history for financial reporting

**Who it's for**

Finance teams, admins, compliance officers.

**Problem**

Need detailed transaction history for invoicing, auditing, and reconciliation. Current tools don't provide per-operation granularity.

**What Generect enables**

`GET /api/v1/accounts/transactions` returns every credit transaction with timestamp, type, amount, and details.

**How it works**

1. Call `GET /api/v1/accounts/transactions `
2. Get chronological list of all operations
3. Export for accounting or reconciliation

**Input data**

API key, optional date range

**Outcome**

* Complete audit trail of all API charges
* Per-operation detail for accounting
* Easy reconciliation with billing
