REST API to calculate credit consumption
This REST API is not documented but if you debug the analysis tools inside the ArcGIS Online Web Viewer whenever you click the "Show credits" link you will find an AJAX request to this endpoint: https://analysis.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/tasks/GPServer/exts/Estimate/<OPERATION>.
Use it to find the parameters you need to send in order to do the calculations.
