Each carries the check performed, the page checked, and the date, so you can act on the negative without repeating the research. A label-scoped absence applies only to its label (e.g. no SOC 2 does not mean no certifications). - **Hard budget caps** — confirmed absent (whole field), checked 2026-10-29. Inspected the complete official Credits billing documentation on 2026-10-29 for Diffbot Extract. It explicitly states that usage beyond the monthly allotment is automatically billed at the current per-credit rate, and describes no hard spending cap or setting that stops billable usage. This is a scoped billing-documentation silence assessment, not a claim about a free trial.

Scope may limit cases or prerequisites while preserving that outcome. An unknown verdict means the answer is not yet established. - **Extract data from websites** — Collect structured information from web pages for use by an application or agent. - Route: API - Completion: Documented complete - Setup needs a human: Unknown - Per-task human step: Unknown - On behalf of a principal: Unknown - Scope: For a developer's application, collect structured information from web pages using Diffbot Extract after API-token setup. The caller sends a URL and token in a GET request; Diffbot renders and classifies the page and returns structured JSON objects. - Conditions: Analyze selects a page-type extractor automatically; dedicated endpoints cover specified page types such as articles and products. Extract consumes one credit per request, or two when a proxy is used. Human setup, human execution and on-behalf-of assessments remain unknown. ## Offers **Pricing page:** https://www.diffbot.com/pricing ### Startup - monthly: 299 USD/month; payment monthly; no minimum commitment - credit-overage: 0.001 USD per credit; payment unknown; commitment unknown Diffbot platform plan covering Extract.
