API Beta Access: Programmatically Upload AI Billing Data for Automated Cost Tracking

🚀 API Beta Program

Join our API beta to programmatically upload your AI billing data and automate unified cost tracking across all your AI providers through simple API calls.

Ready to automate your AI cost tracking? Our new API lets you programmatically upload billing data from any AI service using PDF, CSV, or JSON files. Perfect for teams who want automated data processing and real-time cost insights without manual uploads.

The API is designed for simplicity: authenticate with your API key, upload your billing files (up to 10MB), and get AI-powered parsing with automatic usage data extraction. No complex integrations—just straightforward REST API calls.

API-First Approach to AI Cost Management

We built this API to solve the automation gap in AI cost tracking. Here's what development teams typically face:

  • Manual Upload Bottlenecks: Having to manually download and upload billing data from each AI platform every month.
  • No Automation Integration: Unable to integrate AI cost tracking into existing DevOps or financial reporting workflows.
  • Scattered Billing Formats: Each AI platform exports different file formats (PDF invoices, CSV usage reports, JSON API responses) with no unified processing.
  • Real-time Visibility Gaps: Waiting for manual uploads means delayed insights into AI spending patterns and cost optimization opportunities.

Our solution: one simple API endpoint that accepts any billing file format and automatically extracts usage data.

How the API Works

Built around one core endpoint: POST /api/v1/upload

📋 File Processing Pipeline

  • Multiple Formats: Accepts PDF invoices, CSV exports, and JSON data files up to 10MB each
  • Flexible Upload: Direct file upload or provide a URL for the API to download billing files
  • Secure Storage: All files stored in AWS S3 with server-side encryption
  • AI-Powered Parsing: Advanced models extract billing data from any format automatically

🔧 Simple API Integration

// Basic upload example
curl -X POST https://api.aicosts.ai/v1/upload \
 -H "x-api-key: your-api-key" \
 -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" \
 -F "file=@openai-billing.pdf" \
 -F "userId=your-user-id" \
 -F "platformId=openai" \
 -F "processUsageData=true"
