A familiar developer experience, from the first request.

Bearer tokens, JSON payloads and predictable errors. Synchronous APIs return results directly; long-running work returns a task ID.

  • Unified request IDs and idempotency keys

PRICING PRINCIPLE

Understand spend before adding funds.

Development mode never connects to payment rails. Production will center on live balance, an immutable ledger and cost detail.

01Usage-based debit

Services meter tokens, images, seconds or characters.

02No charge on failure

Attributable upstream failures are refunded or reversed.

03Threshold alerts

Balance and anomaly alerts prevent unexpected interruptions.
