Problem getting cumulative billing via the API

API
1

In the past, I’ve been able to get a summary of my total usage cost by using the following curl request

curl https://api.openai.com/dashboard/billing/usage?end_date=2023-08-01&start_date=2023-07-01 \
 -H "authorization: Bearer ${OPENAI_API_KEY}"

Up until this morning, this command was working perfectly fine, but now I’m getting the following error:

{
  "error": {
    "message": "Your request to GET /dashboard/billing/usage must be made with a session key (that is, it can only be made from the browser). You made it with the following key type: secret.",
    "type": "server_error",
    "param": null,
    "code": null
  }
}

Was there a change in the headers needed? Is there a way to calculate total usage via the API in another way, so that I could do it from the terminal, or a way to find the session key to use in the curl request?

Thanks for any help!

Welcome to the forum!

This is not a documented feature. It seems to have been removed or turned off, this may be temporary or it may be a permanent action.

Undocumented endpoints should not be relied upon in a production environment.

Got it, thanks! Disappointing, but lets hope it comes back at some point.
