Quickstart
Point base_url at ApiGo, keep your OpenAI-compatible SDK, and finish in a few minutes.
1. Create an API key
- Open Workspace (sign in if needed).
- Go to API Keys.
- Create a key. Store it as an environment variable — never embed it in frontend code.
export APIGO_API_KEY=sk-apigo-...
2. Set the base URL
https://api.apigo.ai/v1
List available models with:
curl https://api.apigo.ai/v1/models \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $APIGO_API_KEY"
3. Choose a model ID
Open Models and copy the exact slug shown there. For this OpenAI-compatible quickstart, use a model that supports Chat Completions, for example:
gpt-5.6-solqwen3.8-maxdeepseek-v4-flash
4. Send a request
cURL
curl https://api.apigo.ai/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $APIGO_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"model": "gpt-5.6-sol",
"messages": [
{"role": "user", "content": "Explain ApiGo in one sentence."}
]
}'
Python
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
base_url="https://api.apigo.ai/v1",
api_key="$APIGO_API_KEY",
)
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="gpt-5.6-sol",
messages=[
{"role": "user", "content": "Explain ApiGo in one sentence."},
],
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)
JavaScript
import OpenAI from "openai"
const client = new OpenAI({
baseURL: "https://api.apigo.ai/v1",
apiKey: process.env.APIGO_API_KEY,
})
const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
model: "gpt-5.6-sol",
messages: [
{ role: "user", content: "Explain ApiGo in one sentence." },
],
})
console.log(response.choices[0].message.content)
5. Verify in the workspace
After the first call:
- Open Workspace → Call Logs to inspect status, latency, and the model that answered.
- Open Workspace → Usage for spend and request trends.
- Open Workspace → Billing if you need to top up (USD via Stripe).
Common errors
| Code | Meaning | What to do |
|---|---|---|
401 invalid_api_key |
Key missing, wrong, or revoked | Check Bearer header; confirm the key is enabled under Workspace → API Keys |
402 insufficient_balance |
Workspace balance is empty | Top up under Workspace → Billing |
429 rate_limited |
Provider or account rate limit | Retry later, or add a fallback chain under Workspace → Routing |
503 upstream_unavailable |
Upstream model temporarily down | ApiGo follows your routing policy; inspect Call Logs for the attempted providers |
