🧾 JSON sample record

One real record from run ED79Vd92dUxCl24mA (emails/phones masked, long text shortened):

{
  "_error": "missing_kipris_plus_token",
  "_error_message": "A KIPRIS Plus API ServiceKey is required. Register free at https://plus.kipris.or.kr/ and supply the token via the 'kipris_plus_token' input. Per KIPRIS Plus Terms of Service, tokens are per-user and may not be pooled.",
  "right_type": "patent",

  "source_url": "https://plus.kipris.or.kr/",

💰 Pricing

Event	Price (USD)	When it is charged
Actor Start (apify-actor-start)	$0.005	Charged when the Actor starts running. Number of events charged depends on Actor memory (one event per GB, minimum one event).
IP record (ip-record)	$0.1	Per KIPO patent / utility model / design / trademark record

Pay-per-event: you pay only for what the run delivers. A run that delivers nothing bills no result events (only the actor-start event, when the actor defines one). Example: a run that delivers 100 results costs 100 × $0.1 = $10.00 plus the start fee.
