Store Positioning

Store title: GraphQL Operation Cost Estimator

Short description: Estimate relative cost and complexity of GraphQL operations by analyzing operation documents against schemas, fragments, field depth, list multipliers, aliases, and configurable cost rules.

SEO title: GraphQL Operation Cost Estimator — API, schema, and developer QA

SEO description: Estimate relative cost and complexity of GraphQL operations by analyzing operation documents against schemas, fragments, field depth, list multipliers, aliases, and configurable cost rules. Use it to catch contract drift, schema mistakes, unsafe endpoint assumptions, and developer-tool quality issues before release.

Pay-Per-Event Pricing

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing. Event prices include Apify platform usage; users are not expected to pay a separate platform-usage pass-through charge for the configured pricing model.

• Tier: A1 — API/developer QA
• Primary event: schema-validated at $0.00650 base
• Default max charge: $10.00
• Store discounts: FREE/BRONZE base, SILVER discounted, GOLD deepest approved discount

Event set:

• actor-start: base $0.00500, GOLD $0.00400. Graphql Operation Cost Estimator: charged when actor start is completed. The price includes Apify platform usage; no separate usage pass-through is intended.
• schema-validated: base $0.00650, GOLD $0.00520. Graphql Operation Cost Estimator: charged when schema validated is completed. The price includes Apify platform usage; no separate usage pass-through is intended.
• contract-rule-checked: base $0.00390, GOLD $0.00312. Graphql Operation Cost Estimator: charged when contract rule checked is completed. The price includes Apify platform usage; no separate usage pass-through is intended.
• report-generated: base $0.05000, GOLD $0.04000. Graphql Operation Cost Estimator: charged when report generated is completed. The price includes Apify platform usage; no separate usage pass-through is intended.

Public Task Concepts

• Build a GraphQL Operation Cost stakeholder brief from source rows
• Prioritize GraphQL Operation Cost findings with evidence and confidence
• Summarize GraphQL Operation Cost metrics into recommended actions
• Prepare a GraphQL Operation Cost source table with uncertainty notes
• Export GraphQL Operation Cost decision rows for review

Parses supplied GraphQL operations and persisted-operation manifests, expands fields/fragments, applies configured field weights and list multipliers, and emits field-path cost diagnostics with operation totals.

Inputs

• schemaSdl
• introspectionJson
• operationDocuments
• operationUrls
• persistedOperationManifest
• costRules
• defaultFieldCost
• defaultListMultiplier
• maxDepth
• maxEstimatedCost
• includeFieldBreakdown
• includeFragmentExpansion
• timeoutMs
• maxChargeUsd

Outputs

Dataset fields: sourceId, operationName, operationType, fieldPath, parentType, fieldName, depth, fieldWeight, listMultiplier, fragmentName, aliasName, estimatedFieldCost, estimatedOperationCost, complexityScore, thresholdExceeded, warning, passed.

Reports: graphql-operation-cost-report.md, operation-cost-summary.csv, field-cost-breakdown.json, high-cost-operations.json, cost-rule-audit.json.

Use small capped runs first; live network checks should stay bounded and avoid secrets in inputs.

Live and local execution use the same pay-per-event billing guard: the actor-start event is accepted before analysis, each paid row is charged before dataset output, reports are charged before key-value-store output, and maxChargeUsd stops gracefully without leaking unpaid artifacts.
