deAPI

Pay-as-you-go with no subscription, deAPI gives you $5 in free credit on signup, and no card is required.

Any top-up moves you to Premium, which has 300 requests per minute per endpoint and no daily cap. deAPI is an AI inference API that runs open-source models for image, video, audio, music, OCR and embeddings under one billing account, so a product does not need five separate providers.

There are two ways in.

The OpenAI-compatible endpoint works with the OpenAI Python and Node SDKs: change base_url and api_key and keep the rest of your code.

The native REST v2 API covers what the OpenAI spec does not, including video, music, OCR, voice cloning and voice design.

Image generation has 7 models and starts at $0.00136 per image, with editing, background removal and upscaling.

Video also has 7 models, covering text-to-video, image-to-video and audio-to-video with LTX, plus character replacement with Wan2.2-Animate.

Other pieces include ACE-Step music with lyrics, WhisperLargeV3 transcription with URL ingest from YouTube, TikTok, Twitch, Kick and X, Nanonets OCR, and BGE-M3 embeddings for RAG and semantic search.
