`account-required` is returned with HTTP status 401. Its type URI is `https://emailmovers.com/mydatahub/docs/errors/account-required`.

## What it means

The anonymous tier does not cover the request. A single company count, more than 6 filters in one audience, free text title search and a radius under 5 miles each need a free account.

Rounded small counts are not an error: free and trial accounts still see them, and exact figures come with a paid plan.

## What to do

Create a free account (100 credits, no card) for single company counts, more than 6 filters in one audience, free text title search or a radius under 5 miles. Free and trial accounts still see rounded small counts; exact figures come with a paid plan.

## Example

```json
{
  "type": "https://emailmovers.com/mydatahub/docs/errors/account-required",
  "title": "This needs a free account",
  "status": 401,
  "code": "account-required",
  "detail": "A radius under 5 miles needs a free account.",
  "next_step": "Create a free account (100 credits, no card) for single company counts, more than 6 filters in one audience, free text title search or a radius under 5 miles. Free and trial accounts still see rounded small counts; exact figures come with a paid plan."
