API v1Free Tier

GPU Pricing Data API

Read-only access to regularly-tracked cloud GPU pricing data. 5 endpoints, standard JSON envelope, API key auth. Free tier: 100 requests/hour.

No-Key Endpoint (Attribution Required)

GET /api/v1/prices/public — no API key required. 60 req/hr per IP. Free with attribution.

curl "https://gpuadvisor.com/api/v1/prices/public?gpu=H100"

# Optional filters:

Attribution requirement: display Data via GPUAdvisor — gpuadvisor.com wherever this data is shown to end users. For higher limits or the full snapshot history API, use a keyed endpoint below.

Keyed API — Quick Start

1. Get a key — email[email protected]— then make your first call:
curl -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY" \
  "https://gpuadvisor.com/api/v1/prices?gpu=H100+80GB"

Authentication

Pass your API key in the X-API-Key request header. Every request must include a valid key.

Header: X-API-Key: gpu_free_abc123

All responses include rate-limit headers: X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, and X-RateLimit-Reset (Unix epoch).

Endpoints

Endpoint Withdrawn

GET /v1/index (median series) was retired on August 18, 2026. Callers receive 410 Gone. The GPU Price Index is a 25th-percentile CPI-style composite — read it at /gpu-price-index or via the MCP get_price_index tool.

GET/v1/gpus

List all tracked GPU models with provider counts and first/last tracked dates.

curl -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY" \
  "https://gpuadvisor.com/api/v1/gpus"
GET/v1/providers

List all tracked cloud providers with GPU models and regions covered.

curl -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY" \
  "https://gpuadvisor.com/api/v1/providers"
GET/v1/prices

Current normalized per-GPU $/hr from the latest snapshot. Optionally filter by GPU model, provider, or a specific snapshot date.

Parameters
gpuFilter by GPU modele.g. H100+80GB
providerFilter by providere.g. CoreWeave
dateSnapshot date (default: latest)e.g. 2026-06-20
curl -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY" \
  "https://gpuadvisor.com/api/v1/prices?gpu=H100+80GB"
GET/v1/history

Time-series price history for a GPU model, grouped by provider. Requires 'gpu' parameter.

Parameters
gpurequiredGPU model — REQUIREDe.g. H100+80GB
providerFilter to one providere.g. AWS
fromStart date inclusive (YYYY-MM-DD)e.g. 2026-01-01
toEnd date inclusive (YYYY-MM-DD)e.g. 2026-12-31
curl -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY" \
  "https://gpuadvisor.com/api/v1/history?gpu=H100+80GB&from=2026-01-01"
GET/v1/meta

API and methodology metadata: last tracked date, snapshot count, provider list, tier limits.

curl -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY" \
  "https://gpuadvisor.com/api/v1/meta"

MCP Connector (Claude and MCP Clients)

The same regularly-tracked pricing is also exposed as an MCP server for Claude and other MCP-compatible clients. Three read-only tools, authless public tier.

Endpoint

https://gpuadvisor.com/api/mcp

Tools

get_pricingcurrent per-GPU $/hr across all tracked providers; on-demand, spot, and reserved rows kept separate
compare_providersside-by-side comparison for a specific GPU across every tracked provider on the same rubric
budget_plancompute cost estimate given GPU count, hours per month, and planning horizon

Authless public tier with attribution required. Same data, same freshness, and same terms as GET /api/v1/prices/public above. Every response includes attribution and a cadence note.

Response Format

Every response is wrapped in a standard envelope with a data field (endpoint payload) and a meta field (freshness, attribution, methodology link).

Rate Limits

TierRequests / hourNotes
Free100Attribution required
Pro2,000Coming soon

Rate limit windows reset on a rolling 1-hour basis. The X-RateLimit-Reset header contains the reset epoch timestamp.

Attribution (Free Tier)

Free-tier integrations must display the following attribution string wherever pricing data is shown to end users:

Data via GPUAdvisor — gpuadvisor.com

The meta.attribution field in every response contains this string. For internal-only tooling (dashboards, data pipelines not visible to end users), attribution is encouraged but not required.

Pricing Basis & Data Freshness

All price_per_gpu_hr values are on-demand, normalized to per-GPU. Multi-GPU node prices are divided by GPU count derived from the instance VRAM spec. CoreWeave prices are quoted natively per GPU.

Data is regularly tracked — not real-time. The meta.last_tracked field shows the most recent tracking date. Confirm prices directly with providers before procurement decisions.

The GPU Price Index at /gpu-price-index is the single canonical index — a 25th-percentile CPI-style composite, not a median.
