Decision guide
Which endpoint should I use?
Start from the job, not the platform. 50 of the 50 operations named below have recorded successful requests through currently eligible providers; the rest are labelled. Recorded proof is historical, not a current health check.
How to read this
Costs and status come from the registry
Every row is the same registry row the router serves from, and every live · proven badge is derived from real traffic through currently eligible providers, not a health probe of the request you are about to make. Confirmed failed collection is uncharged or refunded; pending reconciliation can report an unknown charge. An actual cache hit is free. Repeating a request does not guarantee a cache hit. Full parameters for each id are on the endpoint reference.
