SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill delivers reliable usage-based billing by capturing consumption events, enforcing idempotency, and presenting real-time balance data to users, reducing revenue leakage and billing disputes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Client-side usage events: track API calls and feature usage with smart defaults, ensuring ids and subscriptions are handled automatically.
  • Server-side tracking: record usage atomically during expensive operations to maintain financial accuracy.
  • Balance visibility: display current credits, usage history, and upgrade prompts when limits approach.

Quick Start

Integrate the skill by using the client API to record usage events for fast, user-facing meters, or implement server-side recording in API routes to ensure atomic billing.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement metered billing for API calls?▼

Metered billing for API calls is implemented by recording usage events via client-side or server-side APIs. The system applies smart defaults client-side and tracks atomically server-side to ensure accurate consumption billing.

How does idempotency work for usage tracking transactions?▼

Idempotency in usage tracking works by enforcing idempotent transactionIds during usage recording. This prevents duplicate billing charges and revenue leakage when recording consumption events.

Can I check user balances before executing expensive operations?▼

Yes, you can check user balances before executing expensive operations. The system supports server-side balance checks to verify sufficient credits before allowing costly API routes to proceed.

What is the best way to display real-time balance data to users?▼

Displaying real-time balance data is best handled by leveraging the balance visibility features. This presents current credits, usage history, and automatic upgrade prompts when users approach their limits.

How do I resolve usage pricing for a specific meter?▼

Usage pricing for a specific meter is resolved by utilizing either the usageMeterSlug or priceSlug parameters. This allows the system to accurately identify and apply the correct price for server-side tracking.
