# Get Repo Costs

`GET /repos/{short_id}/costs`

Per-repo cost breakdown.

Aggregates two data sources:
  - credit_transactions (this user, scoped by repo_id) - billing-side spend
    in cents, broken down by transaction type, with 7d / 30d / lifetime
    windows.
  - llm_costs.json artifact (engine-side per-operation telemetry) when
    present. The OSS indexer doesn't currently emit this artifact for
    every snapshot, so the response includes available=False rather than
    500-ing when it's missing.

Auth: anyone can fetch the totals for a public snapshot (transactions are
filtered by user_id, so anonymous callers see zeros for the spend half but
the engine telemetry is still useful as a public stat). Private snapshots
follow the standard owner-only rule.

## Path parameters

- `short_id` string, required

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- RepoCostsResponse
  - `repo_id` string, required
  - `short_id` string, required
  - `total_cents` integer, required
  - `total_cents_30d` integer, required
  - `total_cents_7d` integer, required
  - `by_type` CostsByType, required — Spend on this repo, split by what was bought. One field per billable `transaction_type`, because `other_cents` was swallowing most of them: the bucket list was written when the enum had three debit types and never grew with it, so `answer`, `mcp` and `prose_generation` all landed in "other". On any account using Ask or the hosted MCP, the largest slice of the breakdown was an unlabelled catch-all. Credit types (`monthly_grant`, `topup`, `subscription_grant`) are absent by design: this is a breakdown of spend, and those are the opposite. `other_cents` stays, now as a real catch-all for a type added to the enum after this list -- migration 087 is what happens when a label goes live before the code that handles it, so it fails into a visible bucket rather than being dropped.
