Use Case: Multi-Exchange BTC/USDT Quotes Cost Estimate
This example estimates the Flat Files cost for downloading Quotes data for Spot BTC/USDT across 10 exchanges in a single order.
Assumptions
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Dataset | Quotes |
| Scope | Spot BTC/USDT symbols |
| Exchanges | BINANCE, GATEIO, BYBITSPOT, MEXC, OKEX, BITGET, BITMART, KUCOIN, KRAKEN, LBANK |
| Total size | 49.07 GB |
| Total files | 3,716 |
Data included
| Exchange | Size | Files |
|---|---|---|
| BINANCE | 11.40 GB | 365 |
| BITGET | 1.90 GB | 281 |
| BITMART | 1.09 GB | 365 |
| BYBITSPOT | 2.17 GB | 365 |
| GATEIO | 3.50 GB | 365 |
| KRAKEN | 6.43 GB | 364 |
| KUCOIN | 13.57 GB | 320 |
| LBANK | 0.50 GB | 594 |
| MEXC | 5.00 GB | 335 |
| OKEX | 3.52 GB | 362 |
| Total | 49.07 GB | 3,716 |
Pricing
| Component | Rate |
|---|---|
| Quotes data transfer | 1 UC per GB |
| GET / HEAD / LIST requests | 10 UC per 1,000 requests |
Scenario A: GET only
Assumption:
1 GET per file, no HEAD, no LIST, no multipart
Data transfer:
49.07 GB × 1 UC = 49.07 UC
GET requests:
3,716 GET ÷ 1,000 × 10 UC = 37.16 UC
Total:
49.07 UC + 37.16 UC = 86.23 UC
Scenario B: LIST + HEAD + GET
Assumption:
10 LIST + 3,716 HEAD + 3,716 GET = 7,442 requests
Request usage:
7,442 ÷ 1,000 × 10 UC = 74.42 UC
Total:
49.07 UC + 74.42 UC = 123.49 UC
Plan comparison
| Plan | Included credits | Scenario A: 86.23 UC | Scenario B: 123.49 UC |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pay As You Go | N/A | $86.23 | $123.49 |
| Committed 64 | ~75.29 UC | $74.94 | $112.20 |
| Committed 256 | ~341.33 UC | $256.00 | $256.00 |
| Committed 512 | ~731.43 UC | $512.00 | $512.00 |
| Committed 1024 | ~1,575.38 UC | $1,024.00 | $1,024.00 |
Result
For this sample, Committed 64 has the lowest estimated cost in both scenarios:
- GET only: $74.94
- LIST + HEAD + GET: $112.20
Pay As You Go may still be simpler for a one-time or uncertain download. Larger committed plans are better suited for customers with higher recurring monthly usage.
Caveat
Actual request usage may be higher depending on the download tool. Some tools may perform extra LIST or HEAD requests, use multipart or ranged GET downloads, retry failed downloads, or re-download files.
