API
A compatible AI API with visible request paths
Keep a familiar request shape while you select a public model identifier and manage access with platform API keys.
Connect through the interface your tool expects
- Send OpenAI-compatible chat completion requests.
- Use the Anthropic Messages-compatible endpoint.
- List models and inspect usage by request and API key.
Illustrative request lifecycle: a key authenticates a compatible request before the response returns.
curl https://api.provod.ai/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $PROVOD_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"model":"openai/gpt-5.4","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Summarize this harmless request."}],"stream":true}'| Interface | Path | Lifecycle |
|---|---|---|
| OpenAI-compatible | /v1/chat/completions | Request and streamed response |
| Anthropic Messages | /v1/messages | Request and response |
From key to request record
Create a key, choose a public model identifier, send a compatible request, then review the resulting usage record.
For developers, tools, and internal integrations
Use the API when an application or coding tool needs a compatible chat, image, or Messages interface.
API setup answers
Keep keys private and choose the interface that matches your client.
Use the setup guide for your client: OpenAI-compatible clients use the API root, while Claude Code uses its Anthropic-compatible root.
Store the key in a trusted server environment. If it is exposed, revoke it and create a replacement; never send the full key to support.
The Responses API is published. Before integrating, check the Responses guide for supported models, parameters, streaming and compatibility limitations.
Retry transient failures with bounded backoff only before output begins. Retrying after output starts can duplicate work and confirmed usage.
