Welcome to Mesh API

​

What you can do

​

Why Mesh?

• One universal API — code once. A single chat-completions request works across every model in the catalog.
• Unified billing — deposit funds into one account instead of managing dozens of provider subscriptions.
• Zero-downtime fallbacks — automatically retry and reroute around provider outages. See Retry & Fallback.
• Cost optimization — a free 24-hour response cache, provider prompt caching, batch pricing, and real-time price discovery.
• Security — granular API keys with spend caps, rate limits, and zero prompt storage by default.
• Drop-in replacement — works with any OpenAI-compatible SDK, no code changes needed.

​

How it works

1. Authenticate — create a single API key in the dashboard.
2. Integrate — replace the base URL of any OpenAI-compatible SDK with https://api.meshapi.ai/v1.
3. Execute — pass the model ID and standard parameters as you normally would. Mesh routes the request to the underlying provider transparently.

Integration at a glance

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="rsk_...",
    base_url="https://api.meshapi.ai/v1",
)

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

import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: "rsk_...",
  baseURL: "https://api.meshapi.ai/v1",
});

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

curl https://api.meshapi.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer rsk_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "openai/gpt-4o",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
  }'
