Call Grok 4.3 with the OpenAI Python SDK pointed at api.x.ai:
import os
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
base_url="https://api.x.ai/v1",
api_key=os.environ["XAI_API_KEY"],
)
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="grok-4.3",
max_tokens=1000,
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Your prompt here"}]
)
# Cost: ~$0.007500 per call at standard rates
# Input: $1.25/MTok
# Output: $2.50/MTokPer-call cost for all models scoring 50+ on data extraction benchmarks. Hover for details.
Cheapest viable option: GPT 5.6 Luna at $0.002000/call (73% less, 89/100 quality).
Extraction is input-heavy and output-light (the raw document goes in, structured fields come out), which makes it one of the cheapest tasks per unit of value on this list. Output is small enough that output pricing is nearly irrelevant. Cost tracks document size, so the lever is sending only the pages that contain the fields you want.
For Grok 4.3 specifically, that means output tokens cost 2.0x more than input, at $2.50 vs $1.25 per MTok. At this use case’s 4,000/1,000 token split, output accounts for 33% of the $0.007500 per-call cost.
| Direction | $/MTok | Tokens per call |
|---|---|---|
| Input | $1.25 | 4,000 |
| Output | $2.50 | 1,000 |
Caching drops input cost from $1.25 to $0.20/MTok. For repeated system prompts, that saves $0.004200 per call.
Submit requests asynchronously and receive 50% off all token costs. This works best for offline pipelines where latency requirements are flexible.

A typical data extraction call using Grok 4.3 costs about $0.007500 per call. This estimate uses 4,000 input tokens and 1,000 output tokens at standard rates. Standard rates are $1.25 per million input tokens and $2.50 per million output tokens.
Our benchmark data does not yet include a data extraction ranking for Grok 4.3. We recommend testing it against your own evaluation criteria before production usage.
The most affordable model for data extraction above 80/100 quality is GPT 5.6 Luna. It comes from GPT at $0.20 per million input tokens. Output costs $1.20 per million tokens with a quality score of 89/100. Switching from Grok 4.3 to GPT 5.6 Luna saves about 73% per API call.
Three strategies lower Grok 4.3 costs for this task type effectively. Prompt caching gives a 84% discount on input tokens when reusing system prompts. The batch API gives 50% off all tokens for asynchronous processing workloads. Prompt optimization reduces token counts through more concise instructions and context windows. Combining caching with batching brings your cost from $0.007500 to about $0.000600 per call.
Grok has 3 other models alongside Grok 4.3 today: Grok 4.6 at $2.00/$6.00 per million tokens (flagship), Grok 4.5 at $2.00/$6.00 per million tokens (flagship), Grok Build 0.1 at $1.00/$2.00 per million tokens (fast / budget). The right choice depends on whether your data extraction workload prioritizes quality, cost, or speed.
Grok 4.3 supports a context window of 1,000K tokens per API call. This sets the maximum combined length of your input prompt and generated response. For data extraction, typical calls use 4,000 input and 1,000 output tokens. That is well within this limit, leaving room for longer prompts or multi-turn conversations.
