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