GetAPI.ONE
Understand GetAPI.ONE pricing and usage
Identify the pricing mode, endpoint, unit, and group before use; read current values from Live pricing; then reconcile an actual request against account records.
Before sending a request
- Open the model catalog and select the exact model and endpoint your client will use.
- Open Live pricing immediately before use and read the current pricing mode, unit, and any group-specific information.
- Check account balance or package status, plus the selected key’s quota and expiry.
- Start with a bounded test request whose cost you are prepared to accept.
Recognize the pricing mode
| Mode | What to inspect |
|---|---|
| Token based | Input/output or other token categories, the displayed unit, endpoint, model, and group. Do not assume all token types have one rate. |
| Per call / fixed unit | What one billable unit represents, plus parameters such as size, duration, quality, or count when shown. |
| Dynamic / expression based | The current UI explanation, request parameters that influence the result, and the resulting account log. Do not copy or recalculate the expression in a static guide. |
Endpoint type matters because the same model identity may expose different operations or not support the protocol your client expects. Unit labels also matter: token, request, image, second, or another unit are not interchangeable.
Groups, keys, and limits
- A key’s group can affect which models it can access and which displayed group information applies.
- A key quota and expiry can stop a request even when the account still has balance.
- Account balance, packages, key scope, rate limits, and model availability are separate checks; one passing check does not prove the others.
Reconcile an actual request
- Record the request timestamp, exact model, endpoint, key name (not secret), and request identifier if the client provides one.
- Open the console usage/request log and locate the corresponding record.
- Compare the recorded model, endpoint, usage categories, group, status, and deduction information with the current pricing display.
- If values differ or are unclear, preserve the unmodified record and current pricing view with secrets masked, then contact the channel appropriate to a billing question.
When a request is blocked
| Symptom | Check in order |
|---|---|
| Insufficient quota / balance | Key quota and expiry, account balance/package, group access, then current model pricing. |
| Rate limited | Read the response details, reduce concurrency, respect any retry guidance, and avoid unbounded retries. |
| Unexpected deduction | Match one request by timestamp/id, verify model/endpoint/group/parameters, save the log and current pricing display, then escalate without sharing the key. |
