Get a key
Sign in with GitHub.
One click. You land on a page with a working API key and $0.50 of credit already on the account — about 1600 image responses, and most captchas take one or two — so the first thing you do is solve something, not fill in a form.
No credit card. No minimum. No sales call.
What we ask for
Read-only, and only two things.
read:user— your GitHub numeric id and login. The id is the account; the login is what we show you in the dashboard.user:email— your primary verified address, for receipts and low-balance warnings. If you have it hidden, sign-in still works and we simply do not have one.
We do not ask for repository access, and we cannot write anything to your account. We never see a password. Revoke us any time from GitHub's authorised applications settings.
