Capture Official Price Page Drift Before AI API Workbooks Ship

Описание и применение

Автоматизированный рецепт захвата и нормализации ценовых данных API, чтобы предотвратить дрейф в таблицах расходов.

Задача

AI API cost workbooks drift faster than teams expect, leading to discrepancies between workbook estimates, SDK examples, and runtime ledgers.

Результат

Workbooks now reference a verifiable snapshot of pricing data, eliminating drift and providing clear receipts for cost estimates.

Рабочий процесс

• 1. Run a snapshot script that fetches the public pricing endpoint (e.g., https://aiwave.live/api/v1/pricing).
• 2. Record metadata: captured_at, pricing_checked, pricing_updated_at, pricing_version, content_sha256, row_count, and the list of models.
• 3. Write the snapshot to pricing‑snapshot.json for version control and diffing.
• 4. Normalize the snapshot to only the fields needed by the workbook (model, provider, base_rate, effective_rate, etc.).
• 5. Import the normalized rows into the workbook, ensuring each row references the snapshot’s captured_at and pricing_version.
• 6. Use the snapshot artifact in release notes and budget reviews to provide a receipt of pricing assumptions.

Доказательства
