low_balance_threshold: credits.low (an event and an email to the owner) fires once each time a request takes the balance from above it to at or below it; credits.depleted fires when the balance reaches 0 (and the owner is emailed, at most once a day, which no setting turns off). keep_response_bodies: keep each request's response (GET /v1/requests/{id}/response). Absent fields keep their value. Free.
Auth: an API key with the admin scope, or the dashboard session.
Example
curl -X PATCH 'https://socialtap.dev/v1/account' \
-H "x-api-key: $SOCIALTAP_API_KEY" \
-H "content-type: application/json" \

}'Body
JSON. Fields marked nullable may be null; optional ones may be left out.
keep_response_bodies?booleannullabletrue keeps the answer body of every request made from now on up to 1 MB each (a longer one is cut), for 7 days: GET /v1/requests/{id}/response returns it. false stops keeping them; bodies already kept are deleted when their time is up. Takes effect within a minute.
low_balance_threshold?integernullableCredits; null turns credits.low off. Setting it never fires the event by itself: only a request that crosses it does.

created_atstring date-timeWhen the key was created, RFC 3339 UTC.
created_by_keystringnullableThe API key (key_…) that last created this key, gave it the admin scope or rotated it: revoking that key also revokes this one if this one has admin. Null when none did, or a person has rotated it in the dashboard since.
created_by_userstringnullableThe person (GET /v1/members user_id) who created this key in the dashboard, or whose key created it. They may have left the account since. Null when no person did (an operator, or a key from before this was recorded).
dashboardbooleantrue for the account's built-in dashboard key: the dashboard's playground runs as it (so its requests are logged, counted and billed like any key's). Nobody holds its secret, so it works only from the signed-in dashboard. Only its spend_limit can be changed (to cap what the playground spends live); renaming, rescoping, restricting, rotating or revoking it is forbidden (details.reason dashboard_key). It is made on first use and revoked with the account.
expires_atstring date-timenullableWhen the key stops working, RFC 3339 UTC; null when it never expires.
idstringKey ID (key_…): manage the key with it. It is not the secret.
ip_allowliststring[]IP addresses or CIDR ranges (IPv4 or IPv6) the key works from; [] = any.
last_used_atstring date-timenullableAbout when the key was last used (updated at most hourly); null when never.
namestringYour label for the key.
objectstringAlways api_key.
One ofapi_key
prefixstringThe secret's first characters, to recognize it.
previous_secret_expires_atstring date-timenullableUntil then the secret this key had before its last rotation works too (rotate_secret), RFC 3339 UTC; null when none does.
revoked_atstring date-timenullableWhen the key was revoked; null while it is not.
scopesstring[]What the key may call: endpoints (data endpoints), jobs (create, read and cancel jobs; includes jobs:read), jobs:read (read jobs and their results), account:read (account, usage, ledger, keys), admin (account settings and key management; includes account:read).

spend_limitobjectnullableThe key's spend limit and what it used this interval; null when the key has none.
statusstringpending: created by an agent signup and waiting for the owner's email confirmation (it can only read GET /v1/account). expired: past expires_at.

availableintegerCredits new requests can set aside now: balance minus what requests in flight and unfinished jobs hold. For a busy account it may lag concurrent requests by about a second.
balanceintegerCredits the account owns, including those held by requests in flight and unfinished jobs.
created_atstring date-timeWhen the account was created, RFC 3339 UTC.
emailstringThe owner's email address: sign-in links, receipts and balance alerts go there.
free_credits_skippedstringnullableWhy this account got no free credits when it was confirmed; null when it got them, or isn't confirmed yet. disposable_address: a throwaway mail service. domain_daily_limit, network_daily_limit: too many new accounts today from its email domain, or from its network. mailbox_used: this mailbox already had them. A daily limit is tried again at the next session, on a later day; the others stand. Everything else works as on any account, buying credits included. New values may be added.

keep_response_bodiesbooleanWhether each request's answer body is kept, for 7 days (GET /v1/requests/{id}/response); off by default.
low_balance_thresholdintegernullablecredits.low fires (event and email) when a request takes the balance from above this to at or below it; null when off.
max_rpsintegerThe account's runaway-protection ceiling, in requests per second: a safety limit that stops a runaway client, not a plan limit (plans have no rate limit). Requests above it fail with rate_limited (free) and Retry-After; short bursts above it are admitted (the RateLimit-Policy header states the burst). GET /v1/usage/rate shows how close the account runs to it; ask support to raise it. An account that has never paid has a lower ceiling, which its first payment removes within a minute.

400
400 Bad Request.
invalid_inputNo retryA parameter is missing or malformed, or the link is not one this endpoint takes.
Fix the parameter named in param as the message says. For a link of the wrong kind, call an endpoint listed in details.endpoints, when there is one.
401
401 Unauthorized.
unauthorizedNo retryThe x-api-key header is missing, or its key is unknown or revoked. On the dashboard's routes: the session cookie is missing or expired.
Send a valid API key in the x-api-key header. No key yet? A person gets one at details.signup_url; an AI agent follows details.agent_auth_url.
403
403 Forbidden.
forbiddenNo retryThe API key is valid but may not make this request, and details.reason says why: the account is suspended, the key lacks the route's scope, waits for its owner to confirm it by email, has expired, or was used from an IP outside its allowlist, or a rotated key's previous secret was used for a call that needs the admin scope. A running job stops with it too when its account is suspended or the key that created it is revoked or expires. It is about the key, never the item: a private item is private_or_unavailable, also 403, so branch on the code.
Act on details.reason. suspended: contact support. scope: use a key with details.required_scope. previous_secret: use the new secret. key_pending: have the owner open the emailed link. key_expired or key_revoked: create a new key. ip_not_allowed: call from an allowed IP.
429
429 Too Many Requests.
rate_limitedYes, laterThe account passed its runaway-protection ceiling: a high per-account limit that stops a broken client loop (plans have no rate limit). Requests without an API key (signup, the MCP server's tool listing and find_endpoint) are limited per IP address instead. It also stops an account whose failed requests in the last hour cost far more than its successful ones paid for: failures are free within a limit (the message says so), and successes raise it.
Wait the seconds in the retry-after header, then retry. If your steady traffic needs more, ask support to raise the ceiling; without an API key, send one.
