## What it does

Three endpoints are documented here. `GET /billing/balance` returns the `canConsume` flag, remaining DIEM, earned and bundled credits, and the current epoch allocation. `GET /billing/usage-history` is a per-request ledger walked with cursor pagination, available as JSON or CSV. `GET /billing/usage-analytics` breaks usage down by date, model, and API key.

Bearer auth with an ADMIN key is mandatory on all three. An `INFERENCE` key is rejected with `401`, and a call with no `Authorization` header at all answers `402` with an x402 discovery body — skip the payment options in it. Wallet auth is not accepted here; wallet balances belong to the separate `venice-x402` skill.

\`GET /billing/usage` was sunset on 2026-09-16 and now returns `410` to every caller. The replacement is `usage-history`, with renamed parameters: `page` and `limit` become `pageSize` and `nextCursor`, while `startDate` and `endDate` become `startTimestamp` and `endTimestamp`. Note that `usage-analytics` is tagged Beta, so its response schema can shift. Each request draws on one currency, chosen in priority order: DIEM first, then `EARNED_CREDITS`, `BUNDLED_CREDITS`, and `USD` last.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add veniceai/skills --skill venice-billing -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/venice-billing/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/venice-billing/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add veniceai/skills --skill venice-billing -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/venice-billing/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add veniceai/skills --skill venice-billing -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/venice-billing/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**

```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/veniceai/skills --path skills/venice-billing
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/venice-billing/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add veniceai/skills --skill venice-billing -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/veniceai/skills/tree/HEAD/skills/venice-billing/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- check remaining DIEM and credits on an account
- export a month of request history as CSV
- break down spend by model and API key
- migrate old code off `/billing/usage` to `usage-history`
- see which currency paid for a given request

## Example prompts
- Show the Venice balance via `GET /billing/balance`
- Export June usage history as CSV
- Build a spend breakdown by model for the last week

All require an ADMIN key. GET /billing/usage was sunset on 2026-09-16 and now always returns 410. Covers the DIEM/EARNED_CREDITS/BUNDLED_CREDITS/USD consumption priority and building dashboards.

# Venice Billing

Read-only endpoints for account-level billing and analytics. `usage-analytics` is tagged **Beta** in the spec — its schema/behavior may change.

| Endpoint | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `GET /billing/balance` | Current `canConsume` flag, remaining DIEM, earned credits, bundled credits and USD, epoch allocation. |
| `GET /billing/usage-history` | Per-request ledger with keyset (cursor) pagination. JSON or CSV. |
| `GET /billing/usage-analytics` | Aggregated breakdowns: by date, model, API key. |
| `GET /billing/usage` | **Retired.** Sunset 2026-09-16; every request returns `410`. |

All three live endpoints require Bearer auth with an **ADMIN** key — an `INFERENCE` key gets `401` (`"Admin API key required"`). They do not accept x402 wallet auth; for wallet balances use [`venice-x402`](../venice-x402/SKILL.md). A request with no `Authorization` header at all gets a `402` x402 discovery body rather than a `401` — ignore its payment options and send an ADMIN Bearer key; a bad key gets `401`.

> **`GET /billing/usage` is gone.** Since 2026-09-16 it returns `410 Gone` to every
> request, authenticated or not, with no usage data. The body's `error` string names
> the replacement and the parameter renames, and the response carries
> `Deprecation: @1783555200`, `Sunset: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT`, and
> `Link: </api/v1/billing/usage-history>; rel="successor-version", <https://docs.venice.ai/api-reference/endpoint/billing/usage-history>; rel="deprecation"; type="text/html"`.
> The route is rate limited to 60 requests/minute per IP (then `429`, whose message
> repeats the migration pointer). Migrate to `GET /billing/usage-history`:
> `page` + `limit` → `pageSize` + `nextCursor`, `startDate` / `endDate` → `startTimestamp` / `endTimestamp`.

## Currency / priority

Each request is charged to a single currency, picked in this order:

1. **`DIEM`** — from staked DIEM; the allocation resets every epoch (UTC day).
2. **`EARNED_CREDITS`** — USD-denominated earned credits.
3. **`BUNDLED_CREDITS`** — USD-denominated credits included with paid Venice subscription plans.
4. **`USD`** — prepaid fiat balance.
```
