How do credits get consumed during the formatting, indexing, or search processes?

Credits are consumed differently depending on the operation being performed:

Formatting:

• Credits are consumed when formatting resumes or other documents using the Resume Parser API. This process converts unstructured data into a structured format based on predefined templates.
   

Indexing:

• Credits are consumed when documents are indexed. Indexing is required to store parsed documents in RChilli’s Search & Match engine, making them searchable.
• Once a document is indexed, it can be searched without consuming additional credits. However, re-indexing (e.g., if the document has changed or needs reprocessing) will consume credits again.
   

Searching:

• Credits are not consumed when searching through indexed data. The search operation retrieves data from the index without using parsing or indexing credits.
• Credits are only used for indexing the data beforehand.
