# Connectivity Cost APIs

This article covers how to get started with the Connectivity Cost APIs.

> [!NOTE]
> **Notes:**
> 
> - The [**API Tester**](https://portal.kentik.com/v4/core/api-tester) in the v4 Portal enables you to securely call the methods of these APIs using your organization's Kentik data.
> - For information about connectivity costs, start with [**Connectivity Costs**](/v1/docs/connectivity-costs).
> - Protobuf and OpenAPI specifications for Kentik’s v6 APIs are available in our [**api-schema-public**](https://github.com/kentik/api-schema-public) repository.

## Connectivity Cost Usage

The Connectivity Cost Configuration API provides programmatic access to configuration of Connectivity Costs.

## Connectivity Cost RPCs

The tables below provide a quick reference to key information about each Remote Procedure Call in these APIs. Use the links in the tables to see schemas for the request and/or response body (if any).

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** To test methods using your own Kentik data, use the portal's [**API Tester**](https://portal.kentik.com/v4/core/api-tester).
