KeyoAPI

What is KeyoAPI?

KeyoAPI is a prepaid AI API gateway. One API key and one wallet cover chat, speech, vision, OCR, and video models from several providers, including GPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, and Grok model families. Developers keep their OpenAI SDK and change the base URL and key, so existing client code can call different models. It suits teams that want one balance and one invoice instead of a separate account for each provider.

How to use KeyoAPI?

1. Create an account and top up the wallet. Prototyping can start on gift-credit models before you add a paid balance.
2. Create an API key in the console, then set a per-key spending cap before you connect production traffic.
3. Point your OpenAI SDK at the gateway's v1 endpoint, using the KeyoAPI key as the API key.
4. Call chat completions with a model ID such as gpt-6-astra, gpt-5.6-luna, or deepseek-v4.1-flash, then check the wallet ledger for the deduction.

Key features of KeyoAPI

• OpenAI-compatible chat completions, so existing SDK code needs only a base URL and key change
• One prepaid wallet where $1 equals 500,000 quota units, and the ledger shows each deduction
• Gift-credit model IDs for prototyping, billed at dedicated rates under a fair-use limit
• Model IDs across several families, so you can switch models without changing the base URL or authentication

Use cases for KeyoAPI

Routing bulk and product traffic

The site suggests sending high-volume work such as classification, tagging, and draft rewrites to a lower-cost model. Only requests that fail validation are escalated to a higher-tier GPT-class model.

Pricing for KeyoAPI

KeyoAPI is prepaid, with no subscription and no minimum commitment. Each $1 buys 500,000 quota units. New users receive $10 of gift credit, which is used before any recharged balance. The site lists gpt-5.6-luna at about $0.10 input and $0.62 output per million tokens, and it asks users to confirm live rates on the pricing page before budgeting.

Frequently asked questions about KeyoAPI

Is gpt-6-astra an OpenAI model?

No. The site describes it as a KeyoAPI-hosted, OpenAI-compatible GPT-class model ID, not an OpenAI first-party model name. The same SDK request shape works with it.

Can I keep my OpenAI SDK?

Yes. Change the base URL to the KeyoAPI endpoint and use your KeyoAPI key. The site says there is no separate upload playground, so use the Model Square page to try models.
