Account Setup
This guide walks you through setting up your Extralt account, from sign-up to your first API key. The entire process takes under five minutes and includes creating an organization, choosing a plan, and generating credentials for the API.
Create an account
Go to extralt.com and sign up. You can use Google or GitHub.
Create an organization
After signing in, create an organization. Everything in Extralt is scoped to an organization: robots, runs, captures, credits, and API keys.
You can create multiple organizations, each with its own subscription and data. Use the org switcher in the top-left of the dashboard to switch between them.
Subscribe to a plan
Navigate to the subscription page in the dashboard. You'll be redirected to Stripe to complete your subscription.
| Plan | Price | Credits | Concurrent runs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Start | $29/mo | 10,000 | 1 |
| Scale | $100-$1,000/mo | 100K-1M | Up to 10 |
The Start plan includes a 7-day free trial with 5,000 credits. No credit card required to start the trial.
Billing is handled by Stripe. Extralt never sees your payment information. You can manage your subscription anytime from the dashboard, which redirects to Stripe.
Generate an API key
- Open the dashboard
- Navigate to your API key settings
- Create a new API key
Your API key is scoped to the current organization. Keep it secret. If compromised, revoke it and create a new one.
Use the key in API requests with the Authorization header:
Authorization: Bearer your-api-keySee Authentication for details.
Manage your account
- Account settings (top-right) — update profile, email, password
- Organization settings (top-left org switcher) — rename org, manage members, switch orgs
