Feature

OpenAI-Compatible API

Drop-in compatibility with the OpenAI request shape.

19 providers 182 APIs 17 declared variants

The endpoint mirrors the OpenAI API surface, so existing clients and frameworks work by changing a base URL. Removes almost all switching cost between model providers.

19 API providers on the APIs.io network offer openai-compatible api. The highest-rated are NVIDIA NIM, Cloudflare, Vapi, Hyperbolic, Mistral AI.
