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.
AI-ready residential proxies and web data at scale
Route requests through real residential IPs with smart rotation and free geolocation for higher scraping success rates.
Choose unlimited residential traffic, static residential, long-acting ISP, or static datacenter proxies depending on your workflow.
Dedicated scrapers and APIs for web data collection, plus integration guides for AI and automation platforms.
Target locations at country, state and city level, with detailed per-country pools such as Brazil, India, the US, Turkey and Mexico.
