One API: One gateway for reaching many AI providers, such as OpenAI, Claude and Gemini, in a single standard way.

What it does

Each AI company has its own API (a doorway that lets programs talk to its models). One API sits in the middle so apps can reach many providers through one OpenAI-style doorway.

Administrators can manage access keys, set usage limits, spread traffic across accounts, and track usage. The README asks users to follow providers' terms and local laws.

Who it's for

Teams and administrators who manage access to several AI services.

Can I use it without coding?

With some setup. Runs on a server, usually with one Docker command, and is managed through a web page. New to this? Start here.

Can I run it?

Cost: Free, but needs an AI accountThe software is free, but it uses an online AI service (like OpenAI or Anthropic), which usually charges for use.
Runs on: Server
Privacy: Sends what you give it to an online service
API key: Needed. An API key is a password-like code from an online AI service. What's that?

Try it

Run One API on a server with Docker, or download the program from its releases page.
Log in to its web admin page and change the default password straight away.
Add your AI providers' API keys as channels, then create an access token for your apps.
