Key Features
- Route API calls to multiple AI models using a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint
- Switch between GPT, Claude, Gemini, Kimi, Qwen, and other models without code changes
- Manage different AI providers through one Base URL and API key
- Access leading large language models through a unified gateway interface
- Reduce integration complexity by standardizing on OpenAI API format across providers
Use Cases
- Test multiple AI models in production without refactoring application code
- Migrate between AI providers based on cost, performance, or availability without redeployment
- Compare model outputs across GPT, Claude, and Gemini for the same requests
- Build AI applications that gracefully fall back to alternative models if one provider is unavailable
- Evaluate different AI models for a specific use case while maintaining consistent API calls
Who it is for
- Developers building apps who already use the OpenAI SDK and want access to multiple model providers.
- Teams running AI workloads that need stable, production-grade API access with an onboarding plan.
- Users of open-source AI tools who want one account and key for many different models.

FAQ
Is API-Route compatible with the OpenAI API?
Yes. Most OpenAI-compatible clients only need the Base URL provided by this site and the API key you create in the dashboard. After that, you can call the supported models through the same style of API.
Where do I find the API endpoint?
The homepage shows the available API endpoints. After signing in, create an API key on the API Keys page, then paste the key and endpoint into tools such as Cherry Studio, LibreChat, or Claude Code.
Which AI models are supported?
The available models depend on the current site configuration. Check the Pricing page for model names, input and output rates, cache pricing, and model status before choosing one for chat, writing, coding, image, or video tasks.
How can I route multiple AI models through one API?
API-Route lets you route requests to GPT, Claude, Gemini, and other supported models through one OpenAI-compatible Base URL and API key, so clients can switch models without changing providers or endpoints.
How do balance top-ups work?
Top up your account balance online or with a voucher. Once credited, the balance is used for pay-as-you-go API calls.
How is API usage billed?
Billing varies by model. Some models charge by input and output tokens, cache reads, cache creation, or per call. The final usage is reflected in your usage logs and account records.
How do I compare GPT, Claude, and Gemini API pricing?
Compare input and output token rates first, then include cache pricing, per-call billing, context length, and expected request volume. The Pricing page groups model rates, official references, and status in one place.
How do I estimate AI API token cost?
For text calls, estimate input token cost plus output token cost plus cache-related cost. Image, audio, video, and per-call models follow the spec, seconds, or fixed call price shown on the Pricing page.
Do you support crypto payments?
If crypto payments are enabled for this site, you will see chain and token options during balance top-up or branded platform setup. Follow the displayed network, address, and amount carefully.
Which clients or apps can I use?
Any client that supports a custom OpenAI-compatible Base URL, API key, and model name can usually connect to this site; see the integration guide for configuration details.
