Can I Retrieve OpenAI Model Pricing Data Programmatically via the API?

Hi,
I found the current token pricing for various models on the OpenAI pricing page and was wondering if the API could provide this information directly. It would be convenient if the pricing data were accessible programmatically, similar to how model details are returned with the following code:
PYTHONimport openai openai.Model.list()
Currently, it appears that the API does not include token pricing data in its responses. Does anyone know if there is a way to obtain up-to-date pricing information via the API, or is manual updating/scraping the only option?
Thank you for your help!

Currently, the API does not provide pricing information directly. The openai.Model.list() call returns model details such as the model ID, creation date, and owned_by fields, but it does not include token pricing data.
For up-to-date pricing details, you’ll need to refer to the pricing page at openai.com/pricing, where the pricing information is maintained. This means that if you want to integrate pricing into your application, you would likely have to either scrape the pricing page or manually update your pricing data when changes occur.
If you have any further questions about the API or model details, feel free to ask!
