Diffbot Account API

Retrieve account details, plan, token metadata and usage activity for a Diffbot token. The only introspection surface Diffbot publishes: because the APIs return no rate-limit or quota response headers, this endpoint is how a client discovers how much of its credit allotment it has spent.
