An OpenRouter alternative with an OpenAI-compatible API

Point an existing OpenAI client at Gab AI, change the base URL and key, and keep calling GPT, Claude, Gemini and Arya by name. The API docs cover authentication, every endpoint and request examples — and the same login is a private workspace with images, video, music and native apps.

The API docs

Start with the API overview for the base URL and a first request. Authentication covers keys and rate limits. The endpoint reference lists chat, images, video, audio and embeddings. The API product page is the shorter pitch if you want the shape before the reference.

One API, the rest included

• Drop in any OpenAI-compatible client — Cursor, Claude Code, Codex CLI and anything else that already speaks OpenAI work by changing the base URL and key; the docs have both values
• Credits, not a keychain — GPT, Claude, Gemini and Arya run on Gab AI credits; no upstream keys to paste
• Arya is in the API too — Gab AI's own model answers political, cultural and religious questions directly, and it is a model name you can call
• API, chat and media share a meter — one credit balance, no training on your chats, and third-party requests anonymized

Same protocol, more around it

• API protocol — OpenAI-compatible endpoints on the account you already have
• Path to first request — create a key, point your existing client, call a model by name
• Whose models are on offer — Arya is ours, with GPT, Claude and Gemini as labelled third parties
• What one balance covers — API calls, chat, images, video, music and voice
• Workspace on the same login — full web app plus iPhone, Android and Mac

Change the URL, keep the code

• Create a Gab AI API key from the authentication docs — the same credits that power the app power the endpoint
• Point any OpenAI-compatible SDK at Gab AI; model names stay in your code
• Optionally import ChatGPT, Claude or Grok exports so the workspace opens with context

150 credits to start, drop-in OpenAI clients, no credit card required. Full reference lives in the API documentation.
