Token Calculator feature available as API

API

Hi All,

I want to know how many tokens does OpenAI count for a given text when using OpenAI models/APIs. In other words, I want the feature to calculate number of tokens for a given text just as tokenizer(OpenAI API) does but using an API.

Thanks

I guess, there’s an npm package for that if you make a search

More specifically this one

The tokens are stored locally, thus fetching a decode/encode is immediate.

Hi all, what is the formula for calculating the price of a payload?

Thanks

Hi and welcome to the developer forum!

If you use that pricing guide you can multiply the cost per 1k tokens with the number of tokens divided by 1000

It’s straight forward:

(input_price_per_thousand_tokens * input tokens / 1000) + (output_price_per_thousand_tokens * output tokens / 1000)
