# Your purchases (/docs/purchases)

Every question an agent asks while it is connected to your quarry account is listed on
your **Purchases** page, newest first, whatever pays for it: one of your subscriptions,
the agent's own wallet, or nothing at all for a free dataset. An agent is connected to
your account when:

* you connected it to your account: in Claude, when it asks; in ChatGPT and other
  assistants, with the sign-in address. See [Connect an assistant](/docs/connect/assistants);
* it sends one of your API keys: see [Subscriptions and API keys](/docs/subscriptions#api-keys).

That includes a question your assistant's wallet pays at the dataset's web address,
when quarry gave your connected assistant that address: what quarry prepares for the
wallet carries a code that names your account, for that question only. See
[Give your assistant a wallet](/docs/wallet#ask).

Open **Purchases** from the account menu, under **Buying**. An account that has never
sold lands there when it signs in. The same account can sell: **Start selling**, under
**Selling**, sets up a seller's handle.

## What each purchase shows [#what-each-purchase-shows]

Open a purchase to see:

* the question as quarry recorded it, its first 500 characters;
* the dataset, with **View dataset** while it is live;
* how it was paid: included in your subscription, free, or its price in USDC with
  the paying wallet and **View transaction**, the payment's receipt on the public
  blockchain;
* the kind of client software that asked;
* the files the passages came from, with the page or the rows. The passages
  themselves stay with your agent, which already received them.

Every question asked with one of your account's API keys is listed with its text,
whoever used the key. Give a teammate their own account when their questions should
stay theirs.

## What isn't listed [#what-isnt-listed]

* Questions an agent paid from its wallet without being connected to your account.
  Nothing in them names you, so they can't be added later. Connect the agent, or give
  it an API key, and its next questions are listed.
* Questions sent straight to a dataset's web address without asking quarry first, such
  as one you named yourself. They pay from a wallet and carry no account.
* Questions nothing answered. Nothing is charged for them, and nothing is listed.

## How long a purchase stays [#how-long-a-purchase-stays]

The text of a question is erased 12 months after it was asked; the purchase stays,
marked as erased. Deleting a dataset removes the text of every question asked of it,
and its purchases stay under its last name. Sellers see the text of questions paid one
by one, never which account asked: see [who sees what](/docs/faq#who-sees-what-i-ask).
