Moonshot Kimi API Pricing Catalog Scraper

Scrapes the Moonshot Kimi API platform for current model pricing across all supported variants. Returns CNY-denominated token prices, context window sizes, cache-hit discounts, and USD equivalents calculated using the day-of-run exchange rate — because Kimi bills in CNY only, and most Western buyers would like to know what that actually costs.

Kimi Pricing Catalog Features

• Covers the full Kimi model catalog: Kimi K2.6 (multimodal), Kimi K2.5, and the Moonshot V1 family (8k, 32k, 128k — text and vision variants)
• Returns both CNY-native prices and USD equivalents, with the live CNY/USD exchange rate included in every record
• Cache-hit pricing tracked separately for K2 models — which have a distinct discounted input tier when context cache is warm
• Modality and feature flags per model: which models support vision, tool calls, JSON mode, context caching, function calling
• Fetches the Mintlify .md endpoints directly — structured data, no browser required
• No API key or authentication needed
• Runs in under 30 seconds for the full catalog

What Can You Do With Kimi Pricing Data?

• AI cost modelers — build CNY-to-USD pricing tables for Chinese LLM providers alongside DeepSeek, Qwen, and others
• Developer tool builders — feed accurate pricing into token-cost calculators, comparison dashboards, or model-selection APIs
• Finance and procurement teams — track Kimi pricing over time for SaaS contract negotiations or budget forecasting
• AI researchers — benchmark Chinese frontier models against GPT-4o and Claude on a cost-per-token basis
• Resellers and aggregators — surface Kimi pricing on LLM comparison sites without having to parse a Chinese-language pricing page by hand

How It Works

1. Fetches the live CNY/USD exchange rate from a free public FX endpoint before any pricing data is processed.
2. Requests each pricing sub-page (K2.6, K2.5, and Moonshot V1) as structured Markdown documents, which are cheaper to parse than the full HTML page.
3. Extracts model rows from the embedded JSX table data, mapping each row to a typed output record with CNY prices and computed USD equivalents.
4. Emits one record per model variant, with every field defined in the schema populated.

🔍 FAQ

How do I scrape Kimi API pricing?

Kimi Pricing Catalog Scraper handles it end-to-end. Set maxItems to 15 (or omit it entirely to use the default), run the actor, and you get a structured JSON record for every model variant the Kimi platform publishes. No configuration beyond that.

What does the Moonshot Kimi Pricing Scraper cost to run?

The actor is pay-per-event. Expect around $0.008 per full catalog run (8 records at $0.001 each, plus the $0.10 actor start — which is less than a dollar for data you'd otherwise collect by hand from a Chinese-language docs page every time pricing changes).

Does the scraper include USD pricing?

Kimi Pricing Catalog Scraper fetches a live CNY/USD exchange rate before processing any pricing rows. Every output record includes both the CNY-native price and a USD equivalent, along with the exchange rate used — so you know exactly what conversion was applied and when.

Does this need proxies or authentication?

No proxies, no API keys. The Kimi docs platform serves its pricing data as structured Markdown, and those endpoints respond to plain HTTP requests without any access controls.

Which Kimi models are included?

The current catalog covers Kimi K2.6, Kimi K2.5, moonshot-v1-8k, moonshot-v1-32k, moonshot-v1-128k, and the vision preview variants of each Moonshot V1 model. The scraper pulls from all three pricing sub-pages, so it captures the full published catalog.

Why Use Moonshot Kimi API Pricing Catalog Scraper?

• CNY-to-USD conversion built in — the only Kimi pricing scraper in the store that converts to USD at the live exchange rate, which is the entire reason a Western developer would need this.
• Structured output — returns clean JSON with consistent field types and a defined schema, which saves the 20 minutes you'd spend reformatting a copy-pasted pricing table.
• No browser, no overhead — fetches lightweight Markdown endpoints rather than the full React page. Fast and cheap to run, which makes sense for a catalog that changes infrequently but needs to stay current.
