## Pricing

from $0.00005 / actor start

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## AI Model Pricing Scraper

This Apify Actor scrapes **live AI model pricing** from the official websites of OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, and Mistral — all in a single run. It returns structured data including input and output price per 1 million tokens, context window size, and a timestamp, so you always have up-to-date pricing without manually checking four different websites.

---

### Input Parameters

| Field       | Type            | Required | Default                                          | Description                                                                 |
|-------------|-----------------|----------|--------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `providers` | Array of strings | No       | `["openai", "anthropic", "gemini", "mistral"]`  | Which providers to scrape. Omit this field to scrape all four providers.    |

**Accepted values for `providers`:** `"openai"`, `"anthropic"`, `"gemini"`, `"mistral"`

---

### Output Fields

Each item pushed to the dataset represents one AI model and contains:

| Field                     | Type    | Description                                                        |
|---------------------------|---------|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `provider`                | String  | Provider name, e.g. `"OpenAI"`                                     |
| `modelName`               | String  | Human-readable model name, e.g. `"gpt-4o"`                        |
| `modelId`                 | String  | API identifier of the model, e.g. `"gpt-4o-2024-08"`              |
| `inputPricePer1MTokens`   | Number  | Cost in USD per 1 million input tokens, e.g. `5.00`               |
| `outputPricePer1MTokens`  | Number  | Cost in USD per 1 million output tokens, e.g. `15.00`             |
| `contextWindow`           | String  | Maximum context window size, e.g. `"128k"`                        |
| `lastScraped`             | String  | ISO 8601 timestamp of when the data was collected                  |

---

### Example Input

```json
{
  "providers": ["openai", "anthropic"]
}
````

To scrape all four providers, send an empty input or omit the field entirely:

```json
{}
```

***

### Example Output

```json
[
  {
    "provider": "OpenAI",
    "modelName": "gpt-4o",
    "modelId": "gpt-4o-2024-08",
    "inputPricePer1MTokens": 5.00,
    "outputPricePer1MTokens": 15.00,
    "contextWindow": "128k",
    "lastScraped": "2026-05-10T12:00:00.000Z"
  },
  {
    "provider": "Anthropic",
    "modelName": "claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022",
    "modelId": "claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022",
    "inputPricePer1MTokens": 3.00,
    "outputPricePer1MTokens": 15.00,
    "contextWindow": "200k",
    "lastScraped": "2026-05-10T12:01:34.000Z"
  },
  {
    "provider": "Google Gemini",
    "modelName": "gemini-1.5-pro",
    "modelId": "gemini-1.5-pro",
    "inputPricePer1MTokens": 3.50,
    "outputPricePer1MTokens": 10.50,
    "contextWindow": "1M",
    "lastScraped": "2026-05-10T12:02:58.000Z"
  }
]
```

### Use Case Ideas

- **Cost optimisation** — Compare prices across providers and programmatically pick the cheapest model that meets your quality threshold.
- **Price alerts** — Schedule this Actor to run daily and trigger a notification (via [Make](https://make.com), [n8n](https://n8n.io), or [Zapier](https://zapier.com)) whenever a price changes.
- **AI budget tracking** — Feed pricing data into a spreadsheet or dashboard to forecast monthly LLM spend based on token usage.
- **Competitive analysis** — Track how providers adjust prices over time and spot market trends.
- **Automation integrations** — Connect the dataset to n8n, Make, or Zapier to automatically update internal pricing tables, Notion databases, or Slack channels whenever new data is scraped.

***

### Running Locally

```bash
## Install dependencies
npm install

## Run the Actor
npm start
```

Set your `APIFY_TOKEN` environment variable if you want data pushed to the Apify cloud dataset. Without it the Actor writes data locally to `./storage/datasets/default/`.
