Why it happens
Search, coverage, usage and health are free. Company profile, officers, shareholders, ownership, links, documents, financials, verify, batch verify and valid VAT lookups are paid calls at $0.05 each after the first 100 free paid calls.
How to fix it
Add credit from the dashboard or use a ck_test_ key for fixtures. GET /v1/usage shows the free calls used and the current charge for the period.
