Switch Models with One Familiar API
Keep your existing OpenAI-compatible client. Update your Base URL and API key, then choose the model you want to call.
velokey - OpenAI-compatible quickstart
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(api_key="YOUR_VELOKEY_API_KEY", base_url="https://api.velokey.ai/v1")
response = client.chat.completions.create(model="YOUR_MODEL_ID", messages=[...])
print(response.choices[0].message.content)From API Key to First Call in Minutes
If you already use an OpenAI-compatible SDK, migration starts with a Base URL and API key change.
Update your Base URL
Keep your existing SDK and point it to the Velokey endpoint.

Common questions
Key details about pricing, migration, model access, reliability, and data handling on Velokey.
Velokey is a unified AI API platform for accessing leading text, image, and video models through one account, API key, and integration.
Velokey uses pay-as-you-go pricing. Language models are billed by token usage, while image and video billing units depend on the selected model. Prices are visible before you call.
If your app already uses an OpenAI-compatible SDK, migration starts by changing the Base URL and API key. You can then choose a supported model without replacing the rest of your client.
Velokey focuses on leading language, image, and video models. The model catalog shows currently available models, versions, capabilities, and pricing.
When multiple healthy routes are available and failover is enabled, Velokey can move requests to a fallback route based on availability, latency, and cost.
Velokey does not retain prompt or model-output content and does not use customer API data for training. Limited operational metadata is retained for billing, security, troubleshooting, and support.
