Quickstart

Overview

Learn about APIQIK's unified model access, OpenAI compatibility, intelligent routing, and usage-based billing.

APIQIK provides a unified OpenAI-compatible API for models such as OpenAI, Claude, DeepSeek, and Qwen, with server-side routing across multiple inference nodes and automatic failover.

Fastest way to connect: If your project already uses the official OpenAI SDK, you usually only need to change base_url and api_key. Update model as well if the model identifier differs.

Why APIQIK

Low-cost migration

Keep the OpenAI Chat Completions request structure and official SDK integration.

Intelligent routing

The platform selects healthy inference nodes and switches nodes when a retryable failure occurs.

Unified model access

Use the same authentication and request conventions for models from different providers with different capabilities.

Usage-based billing

Pay for actual input and output token usage, making costs easier to control.

Request flow

Your application (OpenAI SDK or HTTP) → APIQIK authentication and routing → available inference node → model output.

Your client uses one stable endpoint. Node selection, health checks, and automatic retries permitted by platform policy are handled on the server; business code does not need to maintain provider connection pools.

Five-minute quickstart

  1. Create an API key. Register, sign in to the console, and generate a key on the API key management page.
  2. Set environment variables. Store APIQIK_API_KEY securely on the server; never commit it to source control.
  3. Send a request. Call POST /v1/chat/completions and read the first candidate message.
  4. Prepare for production. Add timeouts, error handling, request logging, and usage monitoring.
