Turn your network into free API credits
Share one link. Every friend who signs up gets credit — and you earn a cut of their first recharge.
Referrals are tracked at signup via a unique invite code on your referral link. When a friend completes their first recharge of at least $5.00, 10% of that recharge lands in your balance as account credit. No forms, no waiting.
How it works
Three steps from link share to credit in your balance.
Share your link
Grab your unique invite link from the referral dashboard and share it anywhere — social, chat, docs, or a footer badge on your blog.
Friend signs up
Your friend registers through your link. Their account is bound to yours and they receive $1.00 signup credit instantly — a head start on their first API call.
You earn on first recharge
The moment your friend's first recharge (at least $5.00) settles, 10% of that recharge is credited to your balance. No claim, no delay — it's automatic.
What you and your friends earn
One-way referrals are boring. This program pays both sides.
For you (the referrer)
- 10% commission on every friend's first recharge — straight to your account balance
- Auto-credited the moment the payment settles; no forms, no payout requests
- A live dashboard showing invites, first recharges, and total commission earned
For your friends
- $1.00 credit the moment they register through your link
- That's on top of the standard welcome credit every new account gets
- Credit arrives in the same transaction as account creation — no promo codes to enter

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about the referral program.
How is a referral tracked?
When someone opens your invite link and registers, the referral code in the link is captured and written to their account at signup — whether they register with email or via Google/GitHub OAuth. Once bound, the relationship is permanent and can't be changed.
When do I get my commission?
As soon as your friend's first recharge settles, 10% of the recharge amount is credited to your account balance in the same transaction. There is no claim step and no waiting period. Recharges below $5.00 do not trigger a commission.
What does my friend get for signing up through my link?
They receive $1.00 in credit the moment their account is created, on top of the standard welcome credit. The bonus is usable for API calls immediately.
Which recharge counts?
Only the first completed recharge counts. If your friend recharges twice, only the first payment (at least $5.00) generates a commission. Later recharges are not commissionable.
Can I withdraw my commission as cash?
No. Commissions are credited as account balance (quota) and can be used for any API calls on APIPod. They are not withdrawable.
Can I refer multiple friends?
Yes — there is no cap on the number of people you can invite. Each friend's first recharge earns you a commission. The program is one level deep: you earn from people you invited directly, not from their invitees.
