Overview
Introduction to LLM API, an open-source API gateway for LLMs.
LLM API
LLM API is an open-source API gateway for Large Language Models (LLMs). It acts as a middleware between your applications and various LLM providers, allowing you to:
- Route requests to multiple LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google AI Studio, and others)
- Manage API keys for different providers in one place
- Track token usage and costs across all your LLM interactions
- Analyze performance metrics to optimize your LLM usage
Analyzing Your LLM Requests
LLM API provides detailed insights into your LLM usage:
- Usage Metrics: Track the number of requests, tokens used, and response times
- Cost Analysis: Monitor spending across different models and providers
- Performance Tracking: Identify patterns and optimize your prompts based on actual usage data
- Breakdown by Model: Compare different models' performance and cost-effectiveness
All this data is automatically collected and presented in an intuitive dashboard, helping you make informed decisions about your LLM strategy.
Getting Started
Using LLM API is simple. Just swap out your current LLM provider URL with the LLM API API endpoint:
curl -X POST https://api.llmapi.ai/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $LLM_API_KEY" \
-d '{
"model": "gpt-4o",
"messages": [
{"role": "user", "content": "Hello, how are you?"}
]
}'LLM API maintains compatibility with the OpenAI API format, making migration seamless.
