API billing model
Not every API call costs the same.
Ziqara is priced as infrastructure, not as a chatbot. Control-plane calls are free; answer generation is billed because it does the full RAG pipeline.
| Endpoint | Billed as | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| POST /v1/documents | Document ingestion | Parsing, OCR when needed, embedding, indexing. |
| POST /v1/search | Search usage | Hybrid retrieval and reranking without answer generation. |
| POST /v1/answers | Answer usage | Search, reranking, generation, citations, and confidence checks. |
| GET /v1/documents | Free | Control-plane document listing. |
| GET /v1/documents/{id}/status | Free | Ingestion status checks are not metered. |
Need private deployment, SSO, audit logs, or dedicated capacity?
Enterprise plans are designed for regulated teams that need stronger isolation, higher rate limits, compliance controls, and custom document volume.
