Creates a new pricing version for a model. Pricing drives every cost-aware feature on the platform — usage attribution, spend reporting, and token budgets with a cost_limit.

Activate now or schedule for later

The effective_from field decides whether the change is immediate or scheduled:

Omit (or null) — the price activates immediately and replaces the current effective price for this rule.
Future timestamp — the price activates on that date, recorded as a scheduled change. Visible to admins via the history endpoint and the Scheduled affordance in the portal.

Past versions are immutable; to correct a mistake, create a new version with an immediate effective_from.

Sync mode

sync_mode controls whether Barndoor’s seeded defaults can move this row later:

pinned (default for manually-created rules) — never auto-sync.
tracking — show the user a prompt when defaults change.
auto — silently follow the default. Useful when you want to outsource pricing maintenance entirely to Barndoor.

Example

curl -X POST https://app.barndoor.ai/api/llm-gateway/admin/model-pricing \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $BARNDOOR_JWT" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model_provider": "openai",
    "model_pattern": "gpt-4o-mini",
    "input_cost_per_million_tokens": 0.15,
    "output_cost_per_million_tokens": 0.60,
    "sync_mode": "pinned",
    "change_reason": "Q1 2026 negotiated discount"
  }'

For wildcards, scheduling, and the four-tier resolution order, see Manage Model Pricing.

Authorizations

Authorization

string

header

required

JWT obtained through Barndoor's authentication flow. Pass the token verbatim in Authorization: Bearer <token>. Use the Barndoor SDK's loginInteractive() helper to obtain a token in scripts and notebooks.

Body

application/json

model_pattern

string

required

Example:

"gpt-4o-mini"

input_cost_per_million_tokens

number

required

output_cost_per_million_tokens

number

required

model_provider

string

Optional. Defaults to catalog_slug if both are unset.

effective_from

string<date-time> | null

When the price activates. Omit (or null) for "now". A future timestamp creates a scheduled change.

provider_id

string<uuid> | null

catalog_slug

string | null

sync_mode

enum<string>

How the row tracks Barndoor's managed defaults:

tracking — show the user a prompt when defaults change
pinned — never sync; this is your number
auto — silently follow updates to the managed defaults

Available options:

tracking,

pinned,

auto

change_reason

string

Example:

"Q1 negotiated pricing"

cache_read_cost_per_million_tokens

number | null

cache_write_cost_per_million_tokens

number | null

Response

The created or no-op'd pricing version

A single pricing rule version. Each "rule" (logical row) has a stack of versions; the latest version with effective_from <= now() is the one that bills.

string<uuid>

required

org_id

string<uuid>

required

model_pattern

string

required

Upstream model name (or * wildcard)

Example:

"gpt-4o-mini"

number

required

Example:

0.15

output_cost_per_million_tokens

number

required

Example:

0.6

effective_from

string<date-time>

required

When this version takes effect. Past = active; future = scheduled

sync_mode

enum<string>

required

How the row tracks Barndoor's managed defaults:

tracking — show the user a prompt when defaults change
pinned — never sync; this is your number
auto — silently follow updates to the managed defaults

Available options:

tracking,

pinned,

auto

change_source

enum<string>

required

How this version of the pricing rule was produced

Available options:

admin_create,
