Hi everyone,
I’m trying to find a way to programmatically retrieve the list of OpenAI models along with their current pricing using an API endpoint. I’ve checked the official documentation but couldn’t find anything related to pricing being exposed via the API.
Does anyone know if such an endpoint exists, or if there’s any recommended way to access this information automatically?
Thanks in advance for any help!
You’d think, you’d wish, but no. No metadata for you.
Deep in one of the scripts that powers the platform site model pricing page, you’ve got some data object that could be ripped out of 2MB as long as nothing changes beyond your Oauth2 and session token expiring in a week…which, like other model metadata that powers the playground, shows that they could put this on an API for you, but OpenAI has continued to not do so.

It would be wonderful if they could add it to the already existing list models API…
