Estimate experiment cost

Calculates the estimated cost for an experiment without creating it. Useful for previewing costs before submission.

Request Body

Accepts an experiment_spec matching the creation endpoint format:

{
  "experiment_spec": {
    "experiment_type": "screening",
    "method": "bli",
    "target_id": "019a03da-b87f-7e15-8b02-cef171c9871d",
    "sequences": {
      "seq1": "MKTL...",
      "seq2": "EVQL..."
    },
    "n_replicates": 3
  }
}

Response

Returns a detailed cost breakdown including:

pricing_version: The pricing rules applied (e.g., “v1_2026-01-20”)
assay: Per-experiment-type costs with base and replicate pricing
materials: Target material costs (for binding experiments)
total_cents: Sum of all costs in USD cents

Complete Estimate Response

When the target has self-service pricing:

{
  "breakdown": {
    "pricing_version": "v1_2026-01-20",
    "assay": { "name": "screening", "base_cents": 14900, "replicate_addon_cents": 5800, "subtotal_cents": 103500 },
    "materials": { "target": { "name": "Human PD-L1", "target_catalog_id": "019a03da-b87f-7e15-8b02-cef171c9871d" }, "price_per_sequence_cents": 500, "subtotal_cents": 2500 },
    "total_cents": 106000
  },
  "incomplete": null,
  "warnings": []
}

Incomplete Estimate Response

When the target lacks self-service pricing (e.g., custom proteins), you’ll receive an incomplete estimate with assay costs but materials_unavailable:

{
  "breakdown": null,
  "incomplete": {
    "pricing_version": "v1_2026-01-20",
    "assay": { "name": "screening", "base_cents": 14900, "replicate_addon_cents": 5800, "subtotal_cents": 103500 },
    "materials_unavailable": {
      "target": { "name": "This target", "target_catalog_id": "aaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-eeeeeeeeeeee" },
      "reason": "This target is not yet onboarded to self-service pricing. You'll receive a quote with full price information."
    }
  },
  "warnings": []
}

Use GET /targets?selfservice_only=true to list targets with complete pricing.

Notes

All prices exclude VAT; taxes calculated at invoicing based on jurisdiction
Requires authentication with experiment read permission
Does not create an experiment
Pricing is based on the current date (not a future experiment date)
Targets without self-service pricing return incomplete estimates (not errors)
Experiments created before pricing v1 (2026-01-20) cannot be estimated

Authorizations

Authorization

string

header

required

Biscuit-based bearer token. Obtain tokens from the Adaptyv Portal or via the /tokens endpoint. Tokens encode organization membership and role-based capabilities; the API verifies the token's cryptographic signature and authorization claims before processing requests. Use /tokens/attenuate to create restricted tokens for delegation.

Body

application/json

Request payload for cost estimation.

Contains the same experiment specification fields as creation, but does not require a name or project association.
