Prices are in USD. A call is one endpoint execution (a Run). A task may use several calls.
“Catalog rate” is the listed call price; usage-based totals depend on inputs and options. “Up to” is the maximum total charge for that call. Result and token rates use their stated units.
Open an endpoint for its pricing rules, including charges for no match or errors.

Image Search API questions, answered.
Should I use image search or reverse image search?
Use keyword search when you have a text description. Use a reverse-image or Google Lens endpoint when you already have an image and want supported visual matches.
Can I upload an image file directly?
Input support depends on the endpoint. Check whether it accepts an image URL or another image input; do not assume every endpoint supports direct file uploads.
Can I reuse the images returned by the API?
Image search returns references to content. Usage rights remain with the relevant rights holders; a search result does not grant a license or guarantee identification of the original creator.
