# Get Flow Rate

<Tip title="💡 Troubleshooting">
  Encountering errors? See the [API Error Codes Reference](/en/guide/advanced/error-codes) for a complete list of error types and troubleshooting steps.
</Tip>

```
GET https://api.agipower.ai/v1/management/flow_rate
```

Returns the Flow exchange rate for the current account, including the platform base rate and the account's effective rate.

<Tip title="💡 What is a Flow?">
  A Flow is AGIPower's unified billing unit for measuring AI inference consumption. 1 Flow ≈ the cost of one standard request to a reference model. See [Pricing](https://agipower.ai/pricing/subscription) for details.
</Tip>

## Authentication

### Authorization Header **Required**

```http theme={null}
Authorization: Bearer <AGIPower_MANAGEMENT_API_KEY>
```

* **Name**: `Authorization`
* **Format**: `Bearer &lt;API_KEY&gt;`
* **Description**: A Management API Key created in the [AGIPower Console](https://agipower.ai/platform/management)

<Warning title="⚠️ Management API Key required">
  This endpoint only accepts Management API Keys. Standard API Keys are not supported.
</Warning>

## Rate Limiting

Each endpoint has its own independent rate limit counter. The maximum number of requests per minute is configured at the platform level. Exceeding the limit returns a `422` error.

## Returns

### data.currency `string`

Currency unit. Always `"usd"`.

### data.base\_usd\_per\_flow `number`

The platform base rate for the current plan — the USD cost per 1 Flow with no account-level adjustments applied.

### data.effective\_usd\_per\_flow `number`

The account's actual effective rate — the USD cost per 1 Flow for this account right now.

* Under normal conditions this equals `base_usd_per_flow`
* May be higher than the base rate if the account has flagged usage anomalies
