Cost calculation examples
Cost of using Yandex Search API for initiating search queries through API v2 with the following parameters:
- Number of daytime synchronous requests per month: 250,000.
- Number of daytime deferred requests per month: 50,000.
- Number of synchronous requests with a generative response per month: 10,000.
Cost calculation for synchronous requests:
250,000 × ($3.999998 / 1 000) = $999.999500
Total: $999.999500, cost of 250,000 synchronous requests.
Where:
- 250,000: Number of synchronous requests.
- $3.999998: Cost of 1,000 synchronous requests.
- $3.999998 / 1,000: Cost per synchronous request.
Cost calculation for deferred requests:
50,000 × ($0.250000 / 1 000) = $12.500000
Total: $12.500000, cost of 50,000 deferred requests.
Where:
- 50,000: Number of deferred requests.
- $0.250000: Cost of 1,000 deferred requests.
- $0.250000 / 1,000: Cost per deferred request.
Cost calculation for synchronous requests with generative response:
10,000 × ($41.667000 / 1,000) = $416.670000
Total: $416.670000, cost of 10,000 synchronous requests with generative response.
Where:
- 10,000: Number of synchronous requests with generative response.
- $41.667000: Cost of 1,000 synchronous requests with generative response.
- $41.667000 / 1,000: Cost per synchronous request with generative response.
Total cost calculation:
$999.999500 + $12.500000 + $416.670000 = $1,429.169500
Total: $1,429.169500, cost of all search requests through API v2.
- $999.999500, cost of 250,000 synchronous requests.
- $12.500000, cost of 50,000 deferred requests.
- $416.670000, cost of 10,000 synchronous requests with generative response.
