Quickstart

Get started with AICredits in 5 minutes. Create an account, add credits, generate an API key, and make your first LLM request.

Get up and running with AICredits in under 5 minutes. Access OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and more with a single API key.

Overview

AICredits is a unified LLM gateway that provides an OpenAI-compatible API. This means you can use the standard OpenAI SDK with any provider — just change the base URL and API key.

Supported providers: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, Mistral, xAI, and more — 300+ models available.

Step 1: Create an Account

Step 2: Add Credits

Navigate to Dashboard → Billing and add credits using Razorpay (UPI, credit/debit card, net banking). All balances are in INR.

Credits are valid for 1 year from the date of purchase and are consumed in FIFO (first-in, first-out) order.

Step 3: Create an API Key

Go to Dashboard → API Keys and click Create New Key. Give it a name and optionally set a budget limit and expiration date.

Save Your Key

Your API key is only shown once at creation time. Copy it immediately and store it securely. It starts with sk-.

Make Your First Request

Use any OpenAI-compatible client. Just point it to the AICredits base URL and use your API key:

curl https://api.aicredits.in/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-your-key-here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "openai/gpt-4o",
    "messages": [
      { "role": "user", "content": "Hello! What can you do?" }
    ]
  }'

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.aicredits.in/v1",
    api_key="sk-your-key-here",
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="openai/gpt-4o",
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "Hello! What can you do?"}
    ],
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  baseURL: "https://api.aicredits.in/v1",
  apiKey: "sk-your-key-here",
});

const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "openai/gpt-4o",
  messages: [
    { role: "user", content: "Hello! What can you do?" },
  ],
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);

Any Model, Same Code

Switch between providers by changing the model ID. Try openai/gpt-4o, anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.5, google/gemini-2.0-flash, or deepseek/deepseek-chat — no code changes needed.

Streaming

Enable streaming by setting stream: true. The response uses Server-Sent Events (SSE), fully compatible with the OpenAI SDK:

stream = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="openai/gpt-4o-mini",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Tell me a story"}],
    stream=True,
)

for chunk in stream:
    content = chunk.choices[0].delta.content
    if content:
        print(content, end="", flush=True)

const stream = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "openai/gpt-4o-mini",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Tell me a story" }],
  stream: true,
});

for await (const chunk of stream) {
  const content = chunk.choices[0]?.delta?.content;
  if (content) process.stdout.write(content);
}

curl -N https://api.aicredits.in/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-your-key-here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "openai/gpt-4o-mini",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Tell me a story"}],
    "stream": true
  }'
