Implementation
Here's how to implement usage tracking and billing for your API Gateway:
billing_tracker.py
# Usage Tracking & Billing
from datetime import datetime
import stripe
class BillingTracker:
def __init__(self):
self.usage = {}
self.pricing = {
"per_request": 0.001, # $0.001 per request
"per_token": 0.00002, # $0.00002 per token
}
def track_usage(self, user_id, tokens, requests=1):
if user_id not in self.usage:
self.usage[user_id] = {
"requests": 0,
"tokens": 0,
"total": 0.0
}
cost = (requests * self.pricing["per_request"] +
tokens * self.pricing["per_token"])
self.usage[user_id]["requests"] += requests
self.usage[user_id]["tokens"] += tokens
self.usage[user_id]["total"] += cost
return cost
def generate_invoice(self, user_id):
return self.usage.get(user_id)
