One API key for hundreds of AI models from every major provider
Six hundred plus models for text, image, video, audio, transcription, embeddings, and reranking behind one OpenAI-compatible API.
Requests are rerouted to another provider on outages or rate limits by default, so you don't write custom retry logic.
The auto-router selects a model and provider per request using live marketplace performance and pricing data.
Track spend, tokens, and usage per model, provider, and team member in one place, including bring-your-own-key usage.
Affordable real-time search API that returns structured JSON plus page content in a single call.
Send a query and receive live web results as clean, structured JSON that is ready for parsing, ranking or feeding into a model.
Convert any URL into clean, readable markdown in the same API key, removing boilerplate so retrieved text is directly usable for RAG and summarization.
Requests are routed across multiple underlying search sources with health monitoring and automatic retries, so a single empty source does not break your pipeline.
Official libraries and snippets for Python, JavaScript, MCP and LangChain make it a few lines of code to add live search to an agent or app.
