Errors and quotas

Failures use application/problem+json and include a stable code, HTTP status, request_id, retry guidance and billing metadata.

/v1/scrape consumes one scrape_page unit after success. /v1/browse reserves one browser_action unit per requested action and commits the reservation only after success. Failed requests release their reservation.

The response headers x-request-id and x-webdash-billable-units mirror the trace and committed units. x-ratelimit-limit, x-ratelimit-remaining, x-concurrency-limit and x-concurrency-active expose the current request controls. A rejected request returns 429, Retry-After and remains non-billable.

See Cache and usage for cache policy, cost telemetry and GET /v1/usage.
