Examples of cost calculation
Requests through API v2
Cost of using Yandex Search API for initiating search queries through API v2 with the following parameters:
- Number of synchronous requests per month: 250,000
- Number of 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 pending requests:
50,000 × ($0.208333 / 1 000) = $10.416650
Total: $10.416650, cost of 50,000 pending requests.
Where:
- 50,000: Number of pending requests.
- $3.999998: Cost of 1,000 pending requests.
- $3.999998 / 1,000: Cost per pending 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 + $10.416650 + $416.670000 = $1,427.086150
Total: $1,427.086150, cost of all search requests through API v2.
- $999.999500, cost of 250,000 synchronous requests.
- $10.416650, cost of 50,000 pending requests.
