Estimate submission price

Preview how many credits a submission will cost, before you create it.

Call this after uploading your assets (via POST /uploads/url) and before POST /submissions. Pass the same blobPaths you intend to submit; the response returns the credit cost per asset plus a totalCredits for the whole batch.

The asset type and MIME type are derived from the blobPath server-side — the same way the create endpoint does — and the cost is computed from a metric measured on the uploaded bytes themselves (video duration, document page count), never declared by the client. So the estimate matches the amount actually charged when you create the submission. The measurement is cached, so the subsequent submission does not re-read the file.

This endpoint is read-only: it does not create a submission, move any blob, or consume credits. An asset whose metric can’t be measured (e.g. an unreadable PDF) comes back with priceable: false and credits: 0, and is excluded from totalCredits; re-upload it as a readable file before submitting.
