The best option I found was an ITA QPX pricing API that cost something like $0.001 per query. I'd need to spend about $30,000 to run my algorithm with that

But wait, is this because your algorithm queries the system on every loop iteration?

Because you could just build a reference table once, then have the algorithm feed from the table.

Also, which server do you use to run it? Or was it relatively "light" to run?
