Title: I built an AI API gateway for individual developers, starting at 48 CNY per month
Hi everyone. I recently built an AI API gateway for individual developers and small teams: api-zeno.
It mainly solves three problems:
1. One Base URL for unified access to multiple model APIs
2. OpenAI SDK compatibility, so migration usually only changes baseURL and API Key
3. Daily $ quota by plan, making usage, logs, and $ consumption easier to manage
Current pricing:
- Trial: 7 days after email verification, 1 $ daily quota
- Starter: 48 CNY/month, 10 $ daily quota
- Pro: 119 CNY/month, 30 $ daily quota
Integration example:
baseURL: https://api.api-zeno.com/v1
Limitations upfront:
- This is not an unlimited quota service
- Upstream model issues can affect availability
- Before production use, run through the trial quota and monitor the status page
Website and docs: https://api-zeno.com | https://api-zeno.com/docs
Feedback on integration issues and desired model support is welcome.
