# Get India API credit pricing

> Credit-to-price conversion rate and per-endpoint costs for the India legislation surface (`/in/acts/*`).

**No authentication required.** 1 credit = $0.01 USD, billed in USD.

Pass `?region=US` to price the United States primary-law surface instead: it is the same credit balance and the same key.



## OpenAPI

````yaml https://api.vaquill.ai/in/openapi.json get /api/v1/in/api-credits/pricing
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Vaquill India API
  description: >-
    Public API for Indian primary law: Central and State Acts, the instruments
    of the principal regulators, and their individual sections.


    **Authentication**: Pass your API key via the `Authorization: Bearer
    vq_key_...` header. The same key works against the US API; the two share one
    credit balance.


    **Credits**: Each call costs API credits. See `GET
    /api/v1/api-credits/pricing` for the full pricing matrix.


    ## Coverage


    | Layer | Volume |

    |---|---|

    | Enactments (Central, State and UT) | 22,265 |

    | Individually addressable provisions | 1,098,577 |

    | Regulator instruments | roughly half the corpus |


    Regulators covered include SEBI, RBI, MCA, IRDAI, TRAI, DGFT, MOEFCC and
    CPCB.


    `sourceUrl` points at the publisher's own document where we hold a live one,
    and is `null` otherwise. India Code migrated hosts in August 2026 and
    re-minted its identifiers, so links into the old site no longer resolve; we
    return nothing rather than a link that 404s. `pdfUrl` and `textUrl` are
    served from our own mirror and are unaffected.


    ## Scope


    This document describes the **India** surface only. US statutes are a
    separate document at `/external/openapi.json`, so an MCP client configured
    here sees Indian tools and nothing else.
