usage.sh | Check usage and billing |
estimate-cost.sh | Estimate costs for operations |
requests.sh | List and manage requests |
# Interactive setup
bash /mnt/skills/user/fal-platform/scripts/setup.sh --add-fal-key
# Set key directly
bash /mnt/skills/user/fal-platform/scripts/setup.sh --add-fal-key "your_key_here"
# Show current config
bash /mnt/skills/user/fal-platform/scripts/setup.sh --show-config
This adds FAL_KEY to your .env file for persistent use.
Get pricing for any model:
# Single model pricing
bash /mnt/skills/user/fal-platform/scripts/pricing.sh --model "fal-ai/flux/dev"
# Multiple models
bash /mnt/skills/user/fal-platform/scripts/pricing.sh --model "fal-ai/flux/dev,fal-ai/kling-video/v2/master/text-to-video"
# All pricing for a category
bash /mnt/skills/user/fal-platform/scripts/pricing.sh --category "text-to-image"
Output:
fal-ai/flux/dev
Price: $0.025 per image
Unit: image
fal-ai/kling-video/v2/master/text-to-video
Price: $0.50 per second
Unit: video_second
Check your usage and spending:
# Current period usage
bash /mnt/skills/user/fal-platform/scripts/usage.sh
# Filter by model
bash /mnt/skills/user/fal-platform/scripts/usage.sh --model "fal-ai/flux/dev"
# Date range
bash /mnt/skills/user/fal-platform/scripts/usage.sh --start "2024-01-01" --end "2024-01-31"
# Specific timeframe
bash /mnt/skills/user/fal-platform/scripts/usage.sh --timeframe "day"
Timeframes: minute, hour, day, week, month
Estimate costs before running:
# Estimate by API calls (historical pricing)
bash /mnt/skills/user/fal-platform/scripts/estimate-cost.sh \
--model "fal-ai/flux/dev" \
--calls 100
# Estimate by units
bash /mnt/skills/user/fal-platform/scripts/estimate-cost.sh \
--model "fal-ai/kling-video/v2/master/text-to-video" \
--units 60 \
--type "unit_price"
Output:
Cost Estimate for fal-ai/flux/dev
Quantity: 100 calls
Estimated Cost: $2.50
List and manage requests:
# List recent requests
bash /mnt/skills/user/fal-platform/scripts/requests.sh --model "fal-ai/flux/dev" --limit 10
# Delete request payloads (cleanup)
bash /mnt/skills/user/fal-platform/scripts/requests.sh --delete "request_id_here"
