Pay per result

There is no Better Llama monthly fee. You pay on Apify only for what each API delivers, plus a minimum start event.

US$0.002 per result

US$0.002 for each delivered result (a tender, indicator, station, quote or other row, depending on the API). Billing is handled by Apify under its pay-per-event model.

ItemPrice
Delivered resultUS$0.002
Apify start (per run)US$0.00005

The number of start events depends on the memory configured on Apify: one event per GB, with a minimum of one event. Our published APIs use 256 MB, so today that is one start event per run. Illustrative example, not a customer case: 1,000 results in one run equal US$2.00 plus US$0.00005 for the start. Some sources require your own credential, often free; see each API page for details.

Built for AI agents too

Our APIs can be called from Claude, Cursor and other agents through the MCP (available via Apify). An agent can, for example, query Mercado Público tenders and work with the resulting JSON.

Tutorial: Mercado Público with an agent
  1. 1Open the API, available via Apify, and sign in.
  2. 2Connect the Apify MCP in your agent (Claude, Cursor, or another that supports it).
  3. 3Follow the Mercado Público tutorial for the full walkthrough.

Frequently asked questions

What is Better Llama?

Better Llama publishes connectors and APIs for Chilean public and business data, available via Apify (user better-llama) and over MCP. The goal is to deliver that data as clean, normalized JSON for developers and AI agents. We are not affiliated with the institutions or companies that originate the data.

Is there a Mercado Público or ChileCompra API?

Yes. Our Mercado Público Chile API queries the official Mercado Público API (tenders and purchase orders; Compra Ágil in beta) and returns normalized JSON. You need your own free ChileCompra ticket. We are not affiliated with ChileCompra. The listing is on the Apify Store: https://apify.com/better-llama/mercado-publico-chile

How do I get the UF or the dollar via API?

You can get indicators such as the UF and the dollar from two published APIs: CMF Chile (UF, dollar, euro, UTM, CPI and others, with your own free CMF API key) and Banco Central de Chile (dollar, UF, TPM, IMACEC and other BDE API series; it works without a key, with an optional key of your own). These are not a consumer «UF today» widget: they deliver JSON for your code or your agent.

Is there an API for fuel prices or Chilexpress?

Yes, available via Apify. Bencina en Línea Chile delivers fuel prices from the CNE API and works without a key (an optional, free key of your own is supported). Chilexpress can query coverage and regions without a key; quotes, tracking and offices require your own free Chilexpress subscription keys.

Do you have APIs for holidays, earthquakes, the Official Gazette, Defontana or Bsale?

Those connectors are already built and will be published, available via Apify: Chilean holidays and business days (including RUT validation and communes), earthquakes, the Official Gazette (Diario Oficial), Defontana and Bsale. Until they are published they have no public listing.

How do I run these APIs or use them from an MCP?

Our APIs and connectors are available via Apify: you can call them from your code, from the Apify console, or from an agent connected to the MCP (Claude, Cursor and others). You pass in the input parameters and receive a JSON dataset. Billing is also handled by Apify.

How much does it cost?

Pricing is pay-per-result (Apify pay-per-event): US$0.002 for each delivered result. Apify also charges a start event of US$0.00005 per run. The number of start events depends on the memory configured on Apify (one event per GB, with a minimum of one event). Our published APIs are configured with 256 MB, so that is one start event per run. Illustrative example, not a customer case: 1,000 results in one run equal US$2.00 plus US$0.00005 for the start event.

Do I need an API key from the source agency or company?

It depends on the API. Banco Central (BDE) and Bencina en Línea work without a key (an optional, free key of your own is supported). Mercado Público, CMF and the Coordinador Eléctrico require your own credential, which is free in those cases. For Chilexpress, coverage and regions need no key; quotes, tracking and offices do, using your own free subscription keys. Bolsa de Santiago requires your Brain Data key (free trial or paid plan). See each API's page, available via Apify, for details.

Can I use this from Claude, Cursor or other AI agents?

Yes. Our APIs can be called from agents that speak to the MCP, including Claude and Cursor. We published a step-by-step tutorial for querying Mercado Público from an agent, on GitHub: https://github.com/better-llama/tutorial-mercado-publico-agente

Is Better Llama affiliated with ChileCompra, the CMF, the Central Bank or other institutions?

No. Each connector states that there is no affiliation with the data source. Use of each API is governed by that provider's terms, and the person running it is responsible for complying with them.

How do I get started?

Create an Apify account, open the API you need from our catalog, review the input parameters and run it. If you will call it from an agent, follow the GitHub tutorial.
