Quick Start
Get Started Now
OpenAI-compatible Chat API with GPT-5, Claude Sonnet 4.5, Gemini 2.0. Switch base URL, no code changes needed.
Create an API key, point your client at the Apifuse base URL, and call any of the 500+ models from the Model Market.
Text Series
Every text endpoint mirrors a provider's native request and response shape, so existing tooling, SDKs and prompts work unchanged. Pick the schema you already use — OpenAI, Anthropic or Google — and only the base URL changes.
General Chat API (Streaming)
Standard /v1/chat/completions with "stream": true. Tokens arrive as server-sent events for low time-to-first-token. Works with GPT-5, Claude and Gemini through the same OpenAI schema.
# Streaming chat completion — OpenAI-compatible
curl https://api.apifuse.net/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"model": "gpt-5",
"messages": [{ "role": "user", "content": "Hello" }],
"stream": true
}'General Chat API (Non-Streaming)
The same /v1/chat/completions endpoint with "stream": false returns one complete JSON response — the simplest option for batch jobs and server-to-server calls.
# Non-streaming chat completion
curl https://api.apifuse.net/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"model": "gpt-5",
"messages": [{ "role": "user", "content": "Hello" }],
"stream": false
}'Claude Messages API
Call Claude models with Anthropic's native /v1/messages schema — system prompts, multi-turn messages and max_tokens behave exactly as they do against Anthropic directly.
# Claude Messages API — Anthropic-native schema
curl https://api.apifuse.net/v1/messages \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"model": "claude-sonnet-4-5",
"max_tokens": 1024,
"messages": [{ "role": "user", "content": "Hello" }]
}'Gemini Native Format
Use Google's native /v1beta/models/{model}:generateContent format with contents and parts — ideal if your code already targets the Gemini SDK.
# Gemini native generateContent
curl https://api.apifuse.net/v1beta/models/gemini-2.5-pro:generateContent \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"contents": [{ "parts": [{ "text": "Hello" }] }]
}'OpenAI Multimodal Responses API
The newer /v1/responses endpoint accepts mixed text and image input and returns structured multimodal output — a drop-in for OpenAI's Responses API.
# OpenAI Responses API — multimodal input
curl https://api.apifuse.net/v1/responses \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"model": "gpt-5",
"input": "Describe this product in one line."
}'Image Series
Generate and edit images via /v1/images/generations across Nano Banana, GPT Image and Imagen — one schema, per-resolution pricing tiers, and billing only on successful renders. Switch model by changing the model field.
Nano Banana 2
Google's gemini-3-pro-image-preview (alias nano-banana-2) for high-fidelity 1K–4K generation with strong text rendering.
# Image generation — Nano Banana 2
curl https://api.apifuse.net/v1/images/generations \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"model": "nano-banana-2",
"prompt": "A red panda barista, studio lighting",
"size": "1024x1024"
}'GPT Image 2
OpenAI's gpt-image-2 — near-perfect text rendering and native 4K output. Pass "model": "gpt-image-2" to the same generations endpoint.
Imagen 4.0
Google DeepMind's flagship text-to-image model — up to 2K resolution with improved prompt adherence. Use "model": "imagen-4.0".
Video Series
Asynchronous video generation via /v1/videos for Sora, Veo and Kling. Submit a job, poll the returned id for completion, and pay only for successful renders.
Sora 2 (Text-to-Video)
OpenAI's sora-2 for cinematic motion, synced audio and up to 20-second 1080p clips. Submit a render job, then poll for the result URL.
# Submit a Sora 2 render job
curl https://api.apifuse.net/v1/videos \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"model": "sora-2",
"prompt": "A timelapse of a city at dusk",
"duration": 5,
"resolution": "1080p"
}'
# Poll for completion
curl https://api.apifuse.net/v1/videos/<id> \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"Veo 3.1
Google DeepMind's veo-3.1 — low-latency generation with strong physics and prompt fidelity. Same submit-and-poll flow with "model": "veo-3.1".
Kling V3
Kuaishou's kling-v3 — high-motion video with extended duration and precise camera control. Use "model": "kling-v3" on the same endpoint.
