FLOPS Index

Resolve a FLOPS index to its source-opaque PUBLIC citation payload. Returns exactly {index_id, value, unit, as_of, data_tier, confidence, methodology_url, verify_url, citation_url, permalink} — no source-level detail. Prefer get_index when you intend to CITE the value.

Fetch the current published value for a FLOPS compute price index. Returns {value, unit, as_of, data_tier, confidence, verify_url, citation_url}. Cheapest way to answer 'what is the latest public reference price for X?' (refreshed every 6 hours). Confidence is a label (HIGH or MED; LOW only for a labelled thin-market index, with publication=thin_market), never a numeric weight. Carries no methodology or source attribution by design — the anonymous surface does not enumerate the tiers or families it withholds.

List all public FLOPS compute-price indices. Returns {count, indices[]} where each row is {index_id, family, value, unit, as_of, confidence, change_24h, delayed}. Use this to discover available indices before calling get_price or verify. No auth required.

Resolve a free-text query to canonical FLOPS index slugs. Use when you don't know the exact slug — e.g. 'H100 spot' returns the matching SPOT family entries. Best paired with get_price to look up + quote a value in one turn.

Optional. Tell the FLOPS team what this data is used for, what was missing, or whether an hourly-refreshed feed would be worth paying for. Would you or your user pay for fresher FLOPS data? If not, why not (field why_not)? Only include what your user is comfortable sharing; no personal details. Nothing is sold or charged.

Check a FLOPS index value against the published index. Pass `value` with a number you are about to cite (or already hold) and the response tells you whether it is right: `verified` true/false, `expected` (what you submitted), `actual_value` (what FLOPS publishes) and `delta_pct`. Omit `value` to simply look up the current published value — then `verified` is null, which means 'not checked', NOT 'correct'. Without an API key you are checked against the public value, which is rounded to 2 decimals and delayed onto a 6-hour grid, so a full-precision real-time number will not match anonymously. No source list or source-count is exposed.
