Collection contract: source/status, records/list (segment: entry), records/get, search; records/changes is not offered (the publisher provides no deltas). IBM Cloud terms apply; no open licence is declared. - Categories: Developer - Category index: [Developer category](https://firecrawl.dev/alexandria/agents/categories/developer) - Provider key: `globalcatalog-cloud-ibm-com` - Access: Firecrawl credits - Cost: 5 credits per call ## More - [Human guide](https://firecrawl.dev/app/alexandria/globalcatalog-cloud-ibm-com) - [OpenAPI spec](https://firecrawl.dev/alexandria/agents/providers/globalcatalog-cloud-ibm-com/openapi.json) ## Capabilities - [Records get](https://firecrawl.dev/alexandria/agents/providers/globalcatalog-cloud-ibm-com/cloud-pricing/records_get): One plan's price sheet by the site's own plan id: `GET /api/v1/{plan_id}?complete=true` (404 -> not_found; a non-plan entry -> not_found), then `GET /api/v1/{plan_id}/pricing/deployment` (all pages) or, with `deployment_id`, `GET /api/v1/{deployment_id}/pricing`. Plans without regional deployments fall back to the global `GET /api/v1/{plan_id}/pricing` row (`deployment_id` null). VPC `is.*` plans are joined to the `*.profile` entry named like the plan (vCPU, memory, tenancy). Records are flattened like `records_list`. Collection contract name: `records/get`. - [Records list](https://firecrawl.dev/alexandria/agents/providers/globalcatalog-cloud-ibm-com/cloud-pricing/records_list): Full current list of IBM Cloud list prices, one record per plan x deployment (region) x metric x country x quantity tier, walked in catalog order: `GET /api/v1?q=kind:&_limit=200&_offset=N` (service, iaas, platform_service, composite by default), then `GET /api/v1/{entry}/plan`, then for each plan tagged `paid` `GET /api/v1/{plan}/pricing/deployment` (all pages of 50). The cursor pins the listing ETag and the newest pricing `effective_from` seen; a page that finds a different ETag or a newer `effective_from` fails with `invalid_input` code `publication_changed` instead of mixing versions. Segment key: `entry_id` restricts the walk to one catalog entry. Each page prices at most `plans_per_page` plans and examines at most 20 entries. VPC plans are joined to their `*.profile` entry (vCPU, memory, tenancy). Filters (`regions`, `countries`, `metrics`, `plans_per_page`) are not stored in the cursor: pass them again with `continuation`. Collection contract name: `records/list`. - [Search](https://firecrawl.dev/alexandria/agents/providers/globalcatalog-cloud-ibm-com/cloud-pricing/search): Keyword search over catalog entry names, display names and descriptions: `GET /api/v1?q=&_limit=N&_offset=M` with an optional `kind:` filter token prepended to `q`. Returns catalog entries (not prices); feed `id` into `records_list` (`entry_id`) and plan ids into `records_get`. Zero hits is a legitimate empty result. - [Source status](https://firecrawl.dev/alexandria/agents/providers/globalcatalog-cloud-ibm-com/cloud-pricing/source_status): Cheap version check of the IBM Cloud Global Catalog: the listing ETag (`GET /api/v1?_limit=1`) as `publication_id`, the top-level entry count, and the pricing `effective_from`/`effective_until` of the sentinel VPC plan `bx3d-2x10` (`GET /api/v1/{plan}/pricing/deployment?_limit=1`). IBM posts no content hash and no total record count; `content_hash` and `record_count` are null. No delta endpoint exists, so `records/changes` is not offered. Collection contract name: `source/status`. ## 1. Choose this provider when IBM Cloud Global Catalog public entries, plans and list prices per deployment region, metric, country and quantity tier, from the anonymous JSON API at globalcatalog.cloud.ibm.com/api/v1. Collection contract: source/status, records/list (segment: entry), records/get, search; records/changes is not offered (the publisher provides no deltas). IBM Cloud terms apply; no open licence is declared. ## 2. Minimal request Call `POST https://api.firecrawl.dev/v2/scrape` with `{ alexandria: { provider, capability, options } }`. For a batch, send `{ alexandria: [...] }` with up to 10 calls. ```json { "provider": "globalcatalog-cloud-ibm-com", "capability": "cloud-pricing/records_get", "options": { "countries": [ "USA" ], "deployment_id": "04991f9d-562f-4293-a178-86cab5fccb68:us-south97469", "metrics": [ "INSTANCE_HOURS_MULTI_TENANT", "INSTANCE_HOURS_DEDICATED_HOST", "RHEL_INSTANCE_HOURS", "WINDOWS_VCPU_HOURS" ], "plan_id": "04991f9d-562f-4293-a178-86cab5fccb68" } } ``` ## 3. Add provider options Use only the options needed for the task: - `countries` (string[]): Keep only `amounts[].country` codes listed (as published: `USA`, `GBR`, `EURO`, ...). Default: all 29. Example: `["amounts[].country"]` - `deployment_id` (string): Optional deployment id from a previous record of this plan: `{plan_id}:{region}{suffix}` for regional plans (e.g. `04991f9d-562f-4293-a178-86cab5fccb68:us-south97469`) or the global slug (e.g. `pro-deployment-global-64594477`). Rows are labelled with `plan_id`; pass a deployment that belongs to it. Pattern: ^[A-Za-z0-9._:-]+$. Example: `{plan_id}:{region}{suffix}` - `metrics` (string[]): Keep only metrics whose `metric_id` or `charge_unit_name` is listed (case-insensitive), e.g. `["INSTANCE_HOURS_MULTI_TENANT"]`. Default: all metrics. Example: `["metric_id"]` - `plan_id` (string, required): Catalog plan id: UUID (`04991f9d-562f-4293-a178-86cab5fccb68`) or dotted slug (`containers.kubernetes.baremetal.16x128.gpu`). Pattern: ^[A-Za-z0-9._-]+$. Example: `04991f9d-562f-4293-a178-86cab5fccb68` - `regions` (string[]): Keep only deployments whose `deployment_region` is listed (case-insensitive), e.g. `["us-south"]`. Default: all regions. Example: `["deployment_region"]` ## 4.

capability contract is generated from the same normalized Alexandria API reference exposed in the API spec. ### Records get - Capability: `cloud-pricing/records_get` - Description: One plan's price sheet by the site's own plan id: `GET /api/v1/{plan_id}?complete=true` (404 -> not_found; a non-plan entry -> not_found), then `GET /api/v1/{plan_id}/pricing/deployment` (all pages) or, with `deployment_id`, `GET /api/v1/{deployment_id}/pricing`. Plans without regional deployments fall back to the global `GET /api/v1/{plan_id}/pricing` row (`deployment_id` null). VPC `is.*` plans are joined to the `*.profile` entry named like the plan (vCPU, memory, tenancy). Records are flattened like `records_list`. Collection contract name: `records/get`. - Instructions: To price one SKU (plan) across regions, or one region's deployment, by id from `records_list`, `search` or an IBM catalog URL. - Cost: 5 credits per call - Capability file: [Records get](https://firecrawl.dev/alexandria/agents/providers/globalcatalog-cloud-ibm-com/cloud-pricing/records_get) Accepted options: - `countries` (string[]): Keep only `amounts[].country` codes listed (as published: `USA`, `GBR`, `EURO`, ...). Default: all 29. Example: `["amounts[].country"]` - `deployment_id` (string): Optional deployment id from a previous record of this plan: `{plan_id}:{region}{suffix}` for regional plans (e.g. `04991f9d-562f-4293-a178-86cab5fccb68:us-south97469`) or the global slug (e.g. `pro-deployment-global-64594477`). Rows are labelled with `plan_id`; pass a deployment that belongs to it. Pattern: ^[A-Za-z0-9._:-]+$. Example: `{plan_id}:{region}{suffix}` - `metrics` (string[]): Keep only metrics whose `metric_id` or `charge_unit_name` is listed (case-insensitive), e.g. `["INSTANCE_HOURS_MULTI_TENANT"]`. Default: all metrics. Example: `["metric_id"]` - `plan_id` (string, required): Catalog plan id: UUID (`04991f9d-562f-4293-a178-86cab5fccb68`) or dotted slug (`containers.kubernetes.baremetal.16x128.gpu`). Pattern: ^[A-Za-z0-9._-]+$. Example: `04991f9d-562f-4293-a178-86cab5fccb68` - `regions` (string[]): Keep only deployments whose `deployment_region` is listed (case-insensitive), e.g. `["us-south"]`.

`cloud-pricing/records_list` - Description: Full current list of IBM Cloud list prices, one record per plan x deployment (region) x metric x country x quantity tier, walked in catalog order: `GET /api/v1?q=kind:&_limit=200&_offset=N` (service, iaas, platform_service, composite by default), then `GET /api/v1/{entry}/plan`, then for each plan tagged `paid` `GET /api/v1/{plan}/pricing/deployment` (all pages of 50). The cursor pins the listing ETag and the newest pricing `effective_from` seen; a page that finds a different ETag or a newer `effective_from` fails with `invalid_input` code `publication_changed` instead of mixing versions. Segment key: `entry_id` restricts the walk to one catalog entry. Each page prices at most `plans_per_page` plans and examines at most 20 entries. VPC plans are joined to their `*.profile` entry (vCPU, memory, tenancy). Filters (`regions`, `countries`, `metrics`, `plans_per_page`) are not stored in the cursor: pass them again with `continuation`. Collection contract name: `records/list`. - Instructions: To collect the whole price panel (or one service's) page by page. Use `records_get` for one plan. - Cost: 5 credits per call - Capability file: [Records list](https://firecrawl.dev/alexandria/agents/providers/globalcatalog-cloud-ibm-com/cloud-pricing/records_list) Accepted options: - `continuation` (string): `next_cursor` from the previous page. Not with `entry_id` or `kinds`. Example: `next_cursor` - `countries` (string[]): Keep only `amounts[].country` codes listed (as published: `USA`, `GBR`, `EURO`, ...). Default: all 29. Example: `["amounts[].country"]` - `entry_id` (string): Restrict the walk to one catalog entry (segment), e.g. `is.instance` or `containers-kubernetes`. Not with `continuation`. Pattern: ^[A-Za-z0-9._:-]+$. Example: `is.instance` - `kinds` (string[]): Entry kinds to walk, in this order. Default `service, iaas, platform_service, composite`. Not with `continuation` or `entry_id`. Example: `["service, iaas, platform_service, composite"]` - `metrics` (string[]): Keep only metrics whose `metric_id` or `charge_unit_name` is listed (case-insensitive), e.g. `["INSTANCE_HOURS_MULTI_TENANT"]`. Default: all metrics. Example: `["metric_id"]` - `plans_per_page` (number): Plans priced per page (1..5, default 2). A VPC plan with 13 regions yields ~9,600 records unfiltered. Example: `2` - `regions` (string[]): Keep only deployments whose `deployment_region` is listed (case-insensitive), e.g. `["us-south"]`. Default: all regions. Example: `["deployment_region"]` Response schema example: ```json { "effective_from": "2026-10-01T00:00:00Z", "entries_examined": 1, "entry_id": "is.instance", "kinds": [], "next_cursor":

of the IBM Cloud Global Catalog: the listing ETag (`GET /api/v1?_limit=1`) as `publication_id`, the top-level entry count, and the pricing `effective_from`/`effective_until` of the sentinel VPC plan `bx3d-2x10` (`GET /api/v1/{plan}/pricing/deployment?_limit=1`). IBM posts no content hash and no total record count; `content_hash` and `record_count` are null. No delta endpoint exists, so `records/changes` is not offered. Collection contract name: `source/status`. - Instructions: Before a collection to learn the current catalog revision, or between `records_list` pages to see whether the catalog or the price list moved. - Cost: 5 credits per call - Capability file: [Source status](https://firecrawl.dev/alexandria/agents/providers/globalcatalog-cloud-ibm-com/cloud-pricing/source_status) Accepted options: Response schema example: ```json { "content_hash": null, "effective_from": "2026-10-01T00:00:00Z", "effective_until": "9999-12-31T00:00:00Z", "entry_count": 1085, "files": [ { "format": "json", "name": "catalog listing (paged, 200 per page)", "url": "https://globalcatalog.cloud.ibm.com/api/v1?_limit=200&_offset=0" }, { "format": "json", "name": "OpenAPI 3.0 document", "url": "https://globalcatalog.cloud.ibm.com/swagger" } ], "listing_etag": "\"13926222757257854238-162029,9202038589444147662-6\"", "observed_at_ms": 1792362376983, "publication_id": "13926222757257854238-162029,9202038589444147662-6", "published_at": "2026-10-01T00:00:00Z", "record_count": null, "retrieved_at": "2026-10-18T22:26:16Z", "segment_key": "entry", "sentinel_deployment_count": 13, "sentinel_plan_id": "04991f9d-562f-4293-a178-86cab5fccb68", "source_url": "https://globalcatalog.cloud.ibm.com/api/v1?_limit=1&_offset=0" } ```
