# Secton API

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/secton-api/  
**Website:** https://console.secton.org/api  
**APIs profiled:** 2

Secton API is the OpenAI-compatible inference surface from Secton, a small developer-tools company operating at secton.org. It publishes two REST operations — POST /v1/chat/completions, with optional incremental streaming, and GET /v1/models — behind a static API key issued in the Secton Console and sent in the Authorization header. A first-party TypeScript SDK ("secton" on npm) wraps chat, model listing, credit usage and client-side conversation context management. Secton announced a permanent shutdown of the API on 2025-11-18 with an end date of 2025-12-19, yet the host, the OpenAPI and the status page remain live and the Console Terms of Service governing API keys were re-issued effective 2026-08-06 — see lifecycle/secton-api-lifecycle.yml before building on it.
