API Quota Consumption Information

1. One quota deduction for the login API endpoint
2. After login, if you send 10 ACORD forms for conversion and assuming each contains 4 pages, then for 40 pages, 40 quotas will be deducted.
3. One login remains valid for 30 minutes so you can send as many documents as you want programmatically through this login. If you re-login, like, the program runs again and needs to do a fresh login, another login quota will be deducted.
4. If you send ACORD PDFs or Images that contain non-ACORD pages that are not supported by our API, we deduct 1 endpoint for 3 such pages in the form on average (we round up to the next integer for calculation). Like if you upload a document with 19 pages, out of which 5 pages are non-acord and 14 are ACORD, then we deduct 14 quotas for acord pages + 2 (ROUNDUP(5 divided by 3)) for non-acord pages.
5. The output is automatically posted to your CALLBACK URL without consuming more quota. But if you explicitly call fetch-callback-json to retrieve the output, one quota for this call is deducted for ready output (when it returns .zip file) otherwise quota will not be deducted.
6. One quota deduction for each of these endpoint calls:
   1. Get Custom Mapping Keys
   2. Get Custom Mapping Detail
   3. Update Custom Mapping Detail
   4. Generate Custom Mapping Template
   5. Add Custom Mapping Detail
   6. Scan Supported Forms
   7. Add New Form
