What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Check OATDA account balance, remaining credits, and total usage via the unified AI gateway. Triggers when the user asks "how much OATDA credit do I have left", "is my budget enough for this AI call", "what's my OATDA usage", "am I out of credits", "verify balance before image/video/LLM generation". Returns current balance, usage spent, and available remaining amount. Useful for budget checks before expensive image, video, or long-running LLM calls.

OATDA Check Balance

Check the current OATDA account balance, total usage, and available remaining credits. Run this before expensive AI calls (video generation, batch image generation, long LLM streams) to confirm budget.

API Key Resolution

All commands need the OATDA API key. Resolve it inline for each exec call:

export OATDA_API_KEY="${OATDA_API_KEY:-$(cat ~/.oatda/credentials.json 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.profiles[.defaultProfile].apiKey' 2>/dev/null)}"

If the key is empty or null, tell the user to get one at https://oatda.com and configure it.

Security: Never print the full API key. Only verify existence or show first 8 chars.

API Call

export OATDA_API_KEY="${OATDA_API_KEY:-$(cat ~/.oatda/credentials.json 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.profiles[.defaultProfile].apiKey' 2>/dev/null)}" && \
curl -s -X GET "https://oatda.com/api/v1/user/credits" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OATDA_API_KEY"

Response

{
  "id": "uuid",
  "userId": "uuid",
  "balance": 25.00,
  "updatedAt": "2026-06-22T14:30:00.000Z",
  "usageSum": 7.42,
  "actualBalance": 17.58
}

Field	Type	Meaning
`balance`	number	Top-up total (credits ever purchased)
`usageSum`	number	Total amount consumed by API calls so far
`actualBalance`	number	What the user can still spend = `balance - usageSum`
`updatedAt`	ISO timestamp	Last time the balance row was refreshed

The actionable number for "how much budget do I have left?" is actualBalance.

Present results

OATDA Balance
─────────────────────────────
Available:  €17.58
Spent:      €7.42
Top-up:     €25.00

If actualBalance is 0 or negative, tell the user to top up at https://oatda.com/dashboard/credits (minimum €1, credit card or PayPal).

Errors

HTTP	Meaning	Action
401	Invalid or missing API key	Get one at https://oatda.com/dashboard/api-keys
403	Authenticated but not allowed	Account may be suspended — contact support
500	Database error	Retry once; if persists, report

Example

User: "Do I have enough credits for a 10-second video?"

export OATDA_API_KEY="${OATDA_API_KEY:-$(cat ~/.oatda/credentials.json 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.profiles[.defaultProfile].apiKey' 2>/dev/null)}" && \
curl -s -X GET "https://oatda.com/api/v1/user/credits" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OATDA_API_KEY"

If actualBalance >= ~€0.50 (rough Veo / Seedance price for 10s), proceed with oatda-generate-video. Otherwise tell the user to top up first.

Tips

This is a GET request — no body needed.
Always check balance before expensive calls (video generation, batch image generation, long-running streaming).
actualBalance is the canonical "remaining budget" number — balance alone is misleading.
Minimum top-up is €1. Methods: credit card, PayPal.
For per-model pricing before you call, run oatda-list-models.
NEVER expose the full API key in output.
