Bursora open-source tool blocks AI API calls that exceed budget

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

Developer Vildan Bina built Bursora, an open-source SDK that checks budget before sending AI API calls, blocking those that would exceed limits. It wraps OpenAI's client and throws a BudgetExceededError before the call reaches the provider. The tool reports actual token cost after each call, preventing surprise bills from runaway loops.

Meridian48 take
