Stable read-only contract
APIDir pricing API
Read source-linked provider and model records without losing configuration or freshness context.
Endpoints

Contract rules
Coverage counts include accepted catalog evidence only. They show where evidence exists; they do not imply that different billing meters are comparable or that a cheapest provider exists. Price observations use integer USD nanos internally and return both machine values and source metadata. Stale evidence remains labelled. A withheld cheapest result is a valid no-winner state, not an error or fallback. API consumers must preserve APIDir attribution and follow each linked provider's terms.

}Caching and corrections
Successful GET responses include cache-control metadata and an ETag so clients can cache and revalidate deliberately. Corrections preserve the observation trail instead of silently replacing evidence.
