Batch CU Cost
Formula:Batch CU Cost = N^exp × Base CU CostWhere:
- N: Batch number.
- exp: Batch multiplier exponent.
- 0.5 for Blockchain API endpoints.
- 0.8 for all other API groups.
- Base CU Cost: The CU cost of requesting a single token using the corresponding multiple-token endpoint (different from the CU cost of the single-token endpoint).
- The Batch CU Cost is rounded up to the nearest whole number (0 decimal places).
Examples
Example 1: DeFi API
Request N = 10 tokens using/defi/multi_price:
Batch CU Cost = 10^0.8 × 3 = 18.93 → 19 CU
Example 2: Blockchain API
Request N = 100 accounts using/blockchain/v1/account/detail/multiple:
Batch CU Cost = 100^0.5 × 5 = 10 × 5 = 50 CUNotes
- Using a batch endpoint is always more cost-efficient than making the equivalent number of single-endpoint requests.
- Users should consider purchasing a Business plan to access batch endpoints.
- The larger the batch size (N), the greater the effective discount. However, each endpoint has a maximum supported batch size (
n_max), which must not be exceeded.
