How do I add an AI API pricing badge to my GitHub README?

Add a single line of markdown to your README file: [![GPT-5 Pricing](https://getapipulse.com/api/badge?model=openai-gpt5)](https://getapipulse.com). The badge displays the model name and current input/output pricing per 1M tokens, and it auto-updates when prices change. You can use any of the 48 supported models by swapping the model ID in the URL.

Do APIpulse pricing badges update automatically when prices change?

Yes, APIpulse pricing badges are live SVGs generated by a Vercel Serverless Function that queries current pricing data from the database. Badges are cached for 24 hours and regenerate automatically, so when a provider changes their prices, your badge reflects the update within a day with no manual changes required on your end.

Which AI models have pricing badges available?

All 67 models across 10 providers have pricing badges, including GPT-5, GPT-5 mini, GPT-4o mini, Claude Sonnet 4.6, Claude Haiku 4.5, Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite, DeepSeek V4 Pro, DeepSeek V4 Flash, Mistral Large 3, and Llama 4 Scout. Badge colors match each provider's brand identity.

Can I get AI API pricing badge data as JSON instead of an SVG image?

Yes, use the format parameter to get badge data as JSON: curl https://getapipulse.com/api/badge?model=openai-gpt5&format=json. The JSON response includes the model name, provider, input/output pricing, badge URL, and ready-to-use markdown and HTML embed snippets. You can also request just markdown (format=md) or just the URL (format=url).
