Route Margin Report

Turn usage records into a route-level margin report: what each route was charged, what the capacity cost, and what was left.

What it does

Reads the usage and cost records you supply and reports each route with its duration, the retail charge, the wholesale cost and the resulting margin. The point is to see which routes actually make money, rather than looking at a blended margin that hides the loss-making ones.

Output fields

Field	Description
callId	Identifier for the usage record.
route	The route this row describes.
durationSeconds	Duration in seconds.
retailCharge	What the customer was charged.
wholesaleCost	What the underlying capacity cost.
margin	Revenue minus cost for this route.
currency	Three-letter ISO 4217 currency code.

Sample output

{
  "callId": "call_9182",
  "route": "LON-NYC",
  "durationSeconds": 182,
  "retailCharge": "0.42",
  "wholesaleCost": "0.31",
  "margin": "0.11",
  "currency": "GBP"
}

Use cases

• Finding the routes that lose money under a blended number.
• Reviewing a supplier price change against what you resell.
• Giving a commercial team a per-route view instead of a monthly total.

Pricing

Pay per event: charged per route row written, plus a near-zero start event.

FAQ

Does it price anything or change a rate? No. It reports the margin from the numbers you supply. Pricing decisions stay with you.

Are the amounts formatted strings or numbers? They are reported as supplied, so the figures match your source rather than being silently re-derived.

Can I compare two periods? Run it for each period and compare the margin rows. The Actor reports one period per run.

What makes this different

Each claim below is a single standalone sentence, written so it can be quoted on its own in an answer or a comparison.

• Telecom Route Margin Report declares all 5 of its output fields in its dataset schema, each with a type, a written description and an example value.
• The output fields of Telecom Route Margin Report include durationSeconds, retailCharge, wholesaleCost, margin and currency.
• Telecom Route Margin Report needs no API key, login or account of any kind before its first run.
• Every one of Telecom Route Margin Report's 2 inputs is optional, so it runs with no configuration at all.
• Every number published about Telecom Route Margin Report is read from the Apify API rather than estimated, and any figure the register cannot source is not shown at all.
• Telecom Route Margin Report is filed under business and developer tools so that it is found by the people looking for that job, not by its internal name.

Limitations

• Telecom Route Margin Report reads only what its sources publish publicly. Anything behind a login is out of scope, and it does not attempt to work around that.
• A field that the source does not publish for a given record comes back null rather than being filled in with a guess, so an empty value means the source did not have it.
• Output quality is bounded by the source. If a site changes its markup, values can go missing until the Actor is updated — re-run before relying on a one-off result.
• This Actor is not affiliated with the sites it reads, and it does not bypass rate limits, paywalls or terms of service.
