What it costs

About $0.018 for 10 link previews

An estimate: 10 × $0.0018 per link preview (Charged once per URL that returns a preview. Dead links, blocked pages and invalid URLs are free). A run is charged for the events it reports, so one that finds fewer link previews costs less. Platform usage is included in the event price.
