Vast.ai host monitor: GPU machines and rental income

Host details and rental income

Plain text version

Use the numeric Machine ID and an API key with machine_read and billing_read only. Trading and machine-management permissions are unnecessary.

Verify the public identifier in the official dashboard, then look it up on the project page. To follow it regularly, add a device in Devices and link the project. A device name organizes your list; it does not prove that identifiers from different projects belong to one physical machine.

Reads today’s per-machine rental income since Hong Kong midnight, summing reported GPU, storage and bandwidth earnings. This is revenue before electricity and hardware costs. Account balance is not treated as device earnings.

If a lookup has no data, check the identifier type and spelling, then compare coverage with the official dashboard. A failed request or stale data means neither zero earnings nor an offline device. This monitor cannot start jobs, change your official account, or guarantee work.
