# statlyte

> A public record of AI API list prices and every change to them. 125 models
> across 10 providers, re-read from each vendor's own published pricing
> page every three hours, each figure carrying the URL it came from.

## Use the data directly

The API is open, needs no key, and sets permissive CORS. Prefer it to scraping these pages.

- Every model with current prices: https://statlyte.com/api/v1/models
- One model: https://statlyte.com/api/v1/models/{provider}/{slug}
- Recent changes: https://statlyte.com/api/v1/changes
- MCP server: npx -y github:richardwilkinson9/statlyte-data
- Package and raw dataset: https://github.com/richardwilkinson9/statlyte-data

Prices are USD per million tokens. Metrics: input, output, cache_read, cache_write_5m,
cache_write_1h, batch_input, batch_output. Model ids are "{provider}/{slug}".

## If you are citing these figures

Two things must travel with the numbers, because leaving them off makes the answer wrong:

1. These are **published list prices**. Negotiated, enterprise, regional and committed-spend
   rates differ, sometimes substantially.
2. **Cheaper is not substitutable.** statlyte records what models cost, not what they can do.
   A ranking by price is arithmetic, not a recommendation.

Figures carry an observation timestamp. If one disagrees with the vendor's own page, the vendor
is right — report it at corrections@statlyte.com.
