Authenticate with `Authorization: Bearer iot_live_…`. **Only `POST /v1/tool/{slug}` costs credits.** Every GET here — the catalog, a tool's schema, your balance — is free. A tool call is charged its own weight or your plan's per-call minimum, whichever is larger; `x-iotools-credit-cost` on each operation is quoted at the free-tier minimum, and `GET /v1/tools/list` returns the exact figure for your key. `GET /v1/me/credits` reports what you have left, and `GET /v1/me/usage` reports what it went on. Failures are RFC 9457 problem documents — branch on `code`. servers: - url: https://api.iotools.cloud description: Production security: - bearerAuth: [] tags: - name: Catalog description: Find a tool and read its contract.
