Hi Can, The API unit cost is based on the number of items returned in the SOAP XML response. So if your paging is set such that you only get the first 10 items, you will only be charged for those 10 items (even if there are more results). Fetching the next ten items will then charge you for those.
The TargetingIdeaService costs 1 unit for each returned idea, so getting a page of 10 ideas would cost 10 units. In addition, the exact number of units charged are returned in the SOAP header of every response, in a field called "units".
