Check the cost of each API call
When making a request to an API, the API server will process the request and deduct the appropriate number of Coins from the user’s balance. To provide transparency and information about the cost incurred, the API server will return a response header named “X-OFA-COST” This header will contain the value of the total cost debited in OFA Coins, allowing users to track and understand the Coin usage associated with their requests.
