API calls in Zoho CRM are associated with credits. The credits are deducted from your credit count, based on the type of the API call that you make. Credit deduction is based upon the intensiveness of the performance, and the memory usage of the operations involved in the API calls.
Each API call made will result in a reduction of 1 credit. However, for some APIs, credit reduction would be different. For example, for a "Convert Lead API", 5 credits will be reduced for a single API call. Refer to the table below for more details.
