Balance API
The Balance API provides a count of request credits left in the user's account for the day. Balance is reset at midnight UTC everyday (00:00 UTC).
Due to the distributed nature of our API stack that spans multiple continents and datacenters, the values returned by this endpoint will be a few seconds old.
