Introduction

Connect once with one API key, then switch models without changing your request format.

On this page

What changes: your app connects to one APIONE endpoint and uses one API key; switching models only requires a new model ID.

Make your first call in three steps

  1. Create a key: open the API keys page in the console and create one key.
  2. Choose a model: compare capability, price and uptime in the model catalog, then copy its model ID.
  3. Send a request: put that model ID into the shared request format and call https://api.apione.ai/v1; see the Quickstart example.

Two compatible protocols

Same key, same domain — pick either, or mix them in one project:

ProtocolBase URLTypical use
OpenAI-compatiblehttps://api.apione.ai/v1OpenAI SDK, LangChain, most third-party clients
Anthropic-compatiblehttps://api.apione.aiAnthropic SDK, Claude Code and similar toolchains
