build.api-payload-size Calculator
Calculates the bandwidth cost and parse time overhead of a JSON API payload at a given request volume, and shows the savings from field filtering or Protocol Buffers. JSON overhead of 2–4× vs. binary formats is negligible at low volume but significant at millions of requests per hour.
Inputs
Payload Kb
Applied force or weight (N or kN). Divide into dead load (permanent) and live load (variable — people, wind, etc.).
Rps
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
Days
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
Cost Gb
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
Results
bandwidth
The computed width.
daily egress
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
monthly cost
The total monetary cost computed for the given inputs.
