Estimate the observation volume a proposed scanner would generate, for the pre-save cost preview.

Parameters

required

Deprecated. Use /api/projects/{project_id}/ instead.

Input

Proposed `RecordingsQuery` for the candidate filter. `date_from`/`date_to` are ignored — the estimate always uses a fixed 30-day lookback. Omit to estimate against all recordings.

0..1 downsample applied to matched sessions. Defaults to 1.0 (no downsampling).

Quality pre-filter applied to the matched-session count, mirroring the sweep's candidate query. Defaults to comprehensive (no filter). * `focused` - Focused * `balanced` - Balanced * `comprehensive` - Comprehensive

The scanner being edited, excluded from `other_enabled_scanners_monthly_credits` so its stored estimate isn't double-counted in the forecast. Omit (or null) when estimating a brand-new scanner.

Proposed model; determines `credits_per_observation` in the response. * `gemini-2.5-flash` - Gemini 2.5 Flash * `gemini-3-flash-preview` - Gemini 3 Flash * `gemini-3.5-flash` - Gemini 3.5 Flash
