What are the three types of Shodan credits, and how do they differ?

Shodan has **Export credits**, **Query credits**, and **Scan credits**. Export credits are used when downloading data from the Shodan website (1 credit = up to 10,000 results). Query credits apply when calling the [Shodan API](/news/shodan-api-usage-guide) (1 credit = 100 results). Scan credits are for scanning IPs (1 credit = 1 IP). Both Query and Scan credits reset at the beginning of each month, but Export credits do not.
