Token Costs

Daily-updated LLM pricing data for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and OpenRouter.

What Is This?

An npm package and JSON API that gives you up-to-date token pricing for major LLM providers. Stop hardcoding prices or manually checking pricing pages.

import { CostClient } from 'token-costs';

// Create a client (fetches from remote API)
const client = new CostClient();

// Get pricing for a model
const result = await client.getModelPricing('openai', 'gpt-4o');
console.log(`Input: $${result.pricing.input}/M tokens`);
console.log(`Output: $${result.pricing.output}/M tokens`);

// Calculate cost for an API call
const cost = await client.calculateCost('anthropic', 'claude-sonnet-4', {
  inputTokens: 1500,
  outputTokens: 800,
});
console.log(`Total cost: $${cost.totalCost.toFixed(6)}`);

// OpenRouter models use provider/model format
const orPricing = await client.getModelPricing('openrouter', 'anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet');

Or fetch directly without dependencies:

const data = await fetch('https://mikkotikkanen.github.io/token-costs/api/v1/openai.json')
  .then(r => r.json());

Installation

npm install token-costs

Custom Providers & Offline Mode

Add custom models or use entirely custom pricing data:

// Add custom models alongside remote data
const client = new CostClient({
  customProviders: {
    'my-company': {
      'internal-llm': { input: 0.50, output: 1.00 }
    },
    'openai': {
      'gpt-4-custom': { input: 25, output: 50 } // Override/add to openai
    }
  }
});

// Offline mode - no remote fetching
const offlineClient = new CostClient({
  offline: true,
  customProviders: {
    'openai': {
      'gpt-4o': { input: 2.5, output: 10 }
    }
  }
});

For LLM Providers

We'd prefer not to scrape. Consider publishing /llm_prices.json on your website - a simple standard format that tools can fetch directly. See the full proposal on the documentation site.
