第 15 章 定价
本节论述了您可以向开发人员支付使用 API 的不同方法。
- 设置费用
- 是订阅服务时应用的一次性收费，切换至另一计划时不收取额外费用。它仅在订阅的第一个月出现在发票/信用卡中。可以在应用计划、服务计划和帐户计划上配置.
- 每个月的成本
- 是每月定期收取的费用。如果订阅在半月中发生，则按比例分配。有时它称为"固定费用"。可以在应用计划、服务计划和帐户计划上配置.
- 变量成本
- 是从应用计划中所配置的各个方法/指标的定价规则获得的成本。它们基于您的 API 的使用情况，因此不能提前知道，只有在计费周期结束时才会知道。仅适用于应用计划.
示例
If you have a plan with monthly cost of $10, but want to charge your developer a $5 setup fee. The initial charge would be for $15, while all subsequent charges would be for $10.
15.1. 定价规则
定价规则定义每个 API 请求的成本。同一指标的多个定价规则在适用定价规则时划分了范围。定价规则基于日历月份，计数器在每月第 1 天的 00:00 UTC 重置。
示例 1
Until 100 calls per month (from 1 to 100) each API call can be charged at $0.04, and starting from the call 101 (from 101 to infinity) the calls are charged at $0.10.
示例 2
The first 1000 calls are not charged (cost $0), because they are included in the plan which has a monthly fixed cost. Starting from call 1001, each call is charged at $0.50.
示例 3
Calls from 1 to 100 are charged at $0.30, 100 to 500 – at $0.40, and 500 and further – at $0.50.
注意
为指标和方法定义定价规则。实际的 API 请求通过映射规则映射到这些指标和方法。
