# Get job pricing breakdown

`GET /jobs/{id}/price`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.varg.ai/v2`
- URL: `https://api.varg.ai/v2/jobs/{id}/price`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Response `200`

Pricing breakdown

- object
  - `job_id` string
  - `status` 'queued' | 'running' | 'awaiting_confirmation' | 'completed' | 'failed' | 'cancelled': The status only moves forward: `queued` → `running` → `completed`, `failed` or `cancelled`. Everything a running job goes through — sending to the provider, uploading references, switching to another provider — is a `stage` of `running`; a job never goes back to `queued`. (Older API builds also reported `submitting`; treat it as `running`.) `awaiting_confirmation` (multi-step pipelines only): the job finished a step that asks for review and waits for `POST /jobs/{id}/confirm`. It is not terminal.
  - `model` string, nullable
  - `tool` string: Internal tool id (e.g. `tool_2001a2b3c4d5` for video), not the tool key. Use `tool_key` to tell tools apart.
  - `tool_key` string, nullable: Readable tool key (`image`, `video`, ...), as in `GET /tools`. `null` only if the tool registry could not be read.
  - `pricing_id` string, nullable
  - `estimated_cost_cents` integer, nullable
  - `actual_cost_cents` integer, nullable
  - `billed_units` object, nullable
  - `children_count` integer: Sub-generations spawned by a render or pipeline job
  - `total_cost_cents` integer: Own cost plus all children (equals own cost when `children_count` is 0)

## Other responses

- `400`: Invalid job id: must start with `job_` (`invalid_request`)
- `401`: Missing or invalid API key / JWT
- `404`: Unknown job (or not owned by the caller)
