APIKO AI API

About

APIKO AI API is an AI API gateway that lets developers call text, image and video models from leading providers through a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Instead of managing separate accounts and keys for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, Zhipu (GLM), Alibaba (Qwen), Moonshot AI (Kimi), ByteDance and xAI, you create one APIKO key, point your OpenAI SDK at https://api.apiko.app/v1, and switch models by changing the model id. The model marketplace shows live prices and availability for every model, measured from real calls and scheduled probes. Requests are protected by automatic routing and failover, and when an upstream call fails, the amount held for it goes back to your balance automatically. Billing is pay as you go in USD: top up from $5, use the same balance on any model, and it never expires. No monthly fee or subscription.

Use Cases

  • Calling OpenAI, Claude, Gemini and DeepSeek models through one OpenAI-compatible endpoint by changing only the base URL
  • Generating images and videos with models such as Nano Banana 2.1 and Wan 3.0 from the same API key and balance
  • Comparing live per-token and per-image prices across models before choosing which one to call

Who it is for

  • Developers already using the OpenAI SDK who want to add other model providers without rewriting their integration.
  • Teams building AI agents that need automatic routing, failover and per-request cost logs.
  • Builders looking to cut model costs who want to compare discounted prices across text, image and video models.

Pricing

Pay as you go with a single balance that never expires, topped up from $5 and usable on any model with no monthly fee. Listed prices are discounted up to 90% off official rates and are shown per 1M tokens for text models or per image for image models.

FAQ

What is an AI API?

An AI API lets your app send a prompt, image, or other input to an AI model over HTTP and get the result back. APIKO is one AI API for text, image, video, and audio models: one key and one balance for every model.

Do chat, image, and video models use the same endpoint?

No. Chat requests use /v1/chat/completions, image generation uses /v1/images/generations, and video generation uses /v1/videos. Check the model documentation and confirm access with authenticated GET /v1/models before making a request.

Which AI model API should I use?

It depends on the job. Each AI model API has its own strengths, speed, and price. Compare them in the model catalog and pick one your key can access. Every model page includes a ready-to-run request example.

How much free usage do I get when I sign up?

Sign in with Google using a Gmail address and $0.20 is added to your balance automatically, no card needed, once per person. It works with every model, including image and video.

Will I be charged if a call fails?

No. We hold an estimate when the request starts and charge only for what the provider actually used. If the call fails upstream, the hold is refunded automatically.

How is usage billed?

Text is priced separately for input and output tokens, and some models tier the price by the request's context length. Images and video are priced per request or per second. Each model's rates are on its model page, and every charge is itemized under Usage in your console.

Which SDKs are compatible?

Anything that speaks the OpenAI API works: official SDKs, LangChain, LlamaIndex, or plain HTTP. Point the base URL at APIKO and keep your code.

Does my balance expire?

No. Your balance stays on your account until you use it.

How do I add credit?

Sign in and open the Billing page. Top up any amount from $5 to $2000; the balance is added right after checkout.

Can I pay with Alipay, or do I need an overseas credit card?

You can pay with Alipay or PayPal on the Billing page; no overseas credit card is needed. Alipay orders are charged in CNY at the converted amount shown at checkout and have a per-order limit. Prices stay quoted in USD.
