Terms & conditions
API key, credits and fair use
- Every use requires an API key. You manage your keys under API in your account: renew, revoke and check usage.
- Usage is based on credits: depending on the request it costs one or more credits. Your plan determines how many credits you get each month; your month starts with your first request, or on your billing day with a booked plan.
- When your credits are used up, you continue with the next month. If you need more, send an upgrade request from your account. Caching in your application is allowed and recommended.
- For unusual access patterns such as mass downloads, we may throttle or block access.
Which data is available?
- Product key: current prices of your up to 10 selected products at all retailers.
- Account keys: your own shopping lists and price alerts, read only or also editing.
- Project keys: product search and current prices of any product.
- Additionally on request: full price history of products, petrol stations and fuel prices, and the fuel price history of petrol stations. The fuel route planner is not available through the API.
Non-commercial use (research): what counts?
Free use applies only to non-commercial purposes: teaching, research, private projects, NGOs and journalistic research. As soon as a project is used commercially, directly or indirectly, for example as a product, service, client project, agency work or with company involvement, a commercial plan is required.
The research plan requires visible attribution: “Source: Preisrunter – preisrunter.at”, clickable online.
Commercial use: what is allowed?
Integration into your own tools and products according to your plan. No passing raw data on to third parties and no reselling without a written agreement. For more volume: upgrade to a larger plan or Enterprise.
Bulk downloads and mirroring
Bulk downloads or attempts to systematically mirror the complete dataset are not permitted and lead to the access being blocked. For legitimate needs such as reports or exports we offer enterprise solutions.
Approval and support
You book Starter and Business directly in your account under API → Project keys, cancellable monthly. Research is requested in your account, Enterprise via the Enterprise page; we review every request personally and reply by email.
Because of the many requests, reviews can take a while. The research plan includes no individual support; commercial plans include support depending on the plan.
