How it works
Connect once. Use today's APIs and the ones still to come.
Your app talks to Respawn through a single token. Authentication, balance, webhooks, idempotency and dry-run sit in the middle and work the same for every API. When a new API joins the catalog, it arrives already plugged in.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a card or subscription to get started?
There is no subscription. You create an account, buy credits when you need them and pay only for the operations you run. Credits never expire.
How much does each call cost?
It depends on the operation: creating a dynamic QR code starts at 1 credit, converting a PDF starts at 1 credit, and API reads are free up to 2,000 per day. The pricing page has the full table and a calculator.
Can I see the cost before paying?
Yes. Every paid operation accepts the X-Dry-Run: true header, which returns a detailed quote without charging credits.
Can I use it without writing code?
Yes. The dashboard lets you create and manage QR codes and PDF conversions through the interface. The API is for when you want to automate.
Is the documentation available in English?
Yes. The complete documentation, with examples in cURL, JavaScript and Python, is at docs.respawntech.dev.
