Account & Usage
Get balance
Check your wallet balance, usage to date and total credit with your own API key
GET
Check your wallet with your own WaveAPI key and get all three numbers at once: available balance, usage to date and total credit. This is a self-service endpoint — no admin permission required.
The
dashboard in the path is a shape kept for compatibility with existing tools, not an admin API. Call it with an ordinary Authorization: Bearer $WAVE_API_KEY.Authorizations
Response
string
Always
credit_summary.string
Always
USD.number
Current available balance in dollars. This is the number to check before deciding whether you can keep calling.
number
Usage to date in dollars, since the account was opened — not sliced by time.
number
Total credit in dollars = available balance + usage to date.
integer
Timestamp of the reading (Unix seconds).
How the numbers work
- The balance belongs to the account, not to a key. A key is only an authentication unit; every key on the same account reports the same wallet.
- Dollars are a conversion. The internal unit is an integer quota at 500,000 quota = 1 USD; the
costfield on task and text responses is that quota, not dollars. - This endpoint returns only your own account data.
Which of the three to use
The other two keep OpenAI’s response shape so existing credit-checking tools — usage dashboards, cost-tracking scripts — work unchanged.
