# Document Operation API

> A stateless document-operation API. Send markup or a file over HTTP, get bytes back. Nothing is stored: work happens in a tmpfs workspace that is unlinked before the response is sent. Paid for with one-time credit packs that never expire — no subscription, and no feature gating between tiers.

## Pricing

Credits are bought once and **never expire**. There is no subscription and no feature
gating between packs: the only difference is volume.
