  • no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
  • 0 stars0 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

Cost Tracker Skill — API Spend Monitoring

Monitors OpenRouter API usage and sends alerts when daily spend exceeds threshold.

How it works

  1. Hourly cron calls OpenRouter /auth/key endpoint
  2. Compares current usage vs last logged value
  3. If delta > daily limit → sends Telegram alert

Setup

# Add to crontab (runs every hour)
0 * * * * node /path/to/cost-tracker.js

Configuration

const DAILY_LIMIT = 20;  // USD — alert threshold
const CHAT_ID = 'YOUR_TELEGRAM_USER_ID';

Alert format

⚠️ ARIA Cost Alert
Расход за сегодня: $23.40
Лимит: $20/день
Итого: $234.50

Endpoints used

  • GET https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/auth/key — returns usage field (cumulative USD)

Log format

2026-03-25T09:00:00Z used: 197.71 today_delta: 4.23

Why cumulative, not daily

OpenRouter only exposes total usage. Daily delta = current - previous reading. First run logs baseline; subsequent runs calculate delta.
