Cost Data API

Get organization-wide cost breakdown by model

Returns organization-wide cost aggregation grouped by AI model (gpt-4o, claude-3-5-sonnet, etc.). Call it with a GET request to /cost-data/by-model, authenticated with a restricted API key and the "costs:read" scope.

GET https://api.bearlumen.com/v1/cost-data/by-model

Returns organization-wide cost aggregation grouped by AI model (gpt-4o, claude-3-5-sonnet, etc.). All models are returned (no truncation), so entries always sum to total_cost. Requests count toward your per-API-key rate limit; sustained overruns return 429 with the standard error envelope.

Authentication and scopes

Authenticate with a restricted API key in the Authorization: Bearer <key> header. This endpoint requires the costs:read scope.

Parameters

Name	In	Type	Required	Description
`start_date`	query	`string`	Yes	Start of date range (ISO 8601, inclusive). Must be before end_date.
`end_date`	query	`string`	Yes	End of date range (ISO 8601, exclusive).

Error codes

Errors return the standard error envelope with a code, message, and a correlationId you can quote to support.

Status	When it happens
`400`	Invalid request data. Ensure start_date and end_date are valid ISO 8601 dates and start_date is before end_date.
`401`	Missing or invalid API key. Send your key as Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY.
`403`	API key lacks the costs:read scope. Create or update a key with the costs:read scope, then retry.
`429`	Rate limit exceeded. The general API tier allows 100 requests per 15 minutes; wait for the window to reset before retrying.
