Managing Your Notifications and Usage Alerts
Stay in control of your account and data usage with our customizable notification system. Notifications help you track your subscription, monitor API usage, and avoid service disruptions without needing to log in daily. This guide outlines the types of notifications available, their default statuses, and how to manage them. Manage your notifications.
You can add multiple email recipients in the notification settings by separating them with commas. If no email is specified, notifications will be sent to the account’s primary email address by default.
Billing
Invoice Paid
Default: Enabled
Receive a confirmation email with a receipt each time a payment is successfully processed. This is ideal for keeping your accounting records up to date and sharing invoices with your finance team.
Alerts
Subscription Utilization Threshold
Default: Enabled
Set a custom percentage threshold (e.g., 80%) to receive a warning when your usage approaches the plan’s limit. This is useful for proactively managing high-volume workflows and preventing unexpected overages. Click Manage to configure your preferred threshold level.
Subscription Limit Reached
Default: Enabled
Get notified the moment your monthly quota is fully consumed. This allows you to take immediate action—such as upgrading your plan, purchasing extra credits (Top-Ups), or optimizing your requests to maintain uninterrupted service.
Activity
Daily Usage Summary
Default: Disabled
Receive a quick daily snapshot of your API activity, showing the number of requests made and data consumed by product. This is ideal for users who want to keep a close eye on consumption or need to report usage daily.
Weekly Usage Summary
Default: Enabled
Receive a consolidated report summarizing your usage for the past 7 days. This is great for identifying trends, evaluating API needs, and planning for scale. Recommended for teams and managers who track consumption over time.
Universal Scraper API Daily Consumption Threshold
Default: Enabled
Stay informed when your daily Universal Scraper API usage exceeds a preset threshold. This is useful for preventing excessive daily usage or monitoring anomalies. Thresholds can be customized by clicking Manage in your notification settings.

You can manage all notifications from the Notifications Settings page. To unsubscribe or pause alerts:
- Visit your notification settings.
