# Billing Instructions

### 一、Billing Model

Charges apply only when a single request returns a 200 status code; no charges are incurred for other status codes.

Note: A successful search request refers to receiving a successful response, and does not depend on the number of returned results.

### 二、Status Code Reference Table
