Frequently asked questions

What is Requesty AI Gateway?

Requesty AI Gateway is a unified API that connects your application to 400+ AI models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, Mistral, and more through a single endpoint. It handles smart routing, response caching, automatic failover, and enterprise governance so you do not need to manage individual provider integrations.

How do I switch to Requesty from OpenAI?

Change your base URL to router.requesty.ai/v1 and use your Requesty API key. Your existing OpenAI SDK code works unchanged. You gain access to 400+ models, automatic caching, failover, and observability with no other code changes.

How much does Requesty cost?

Requesty is pay as you go with $10 free credits and no minimums. You pay a small margin on token costs in exchange for routing, caching, failover, observability, and governance. The caching savings alone (30 to 60% cache hit rates) typically offset the cost completely.

Does Requesty add latency to API calls?

Requesty adds less than 50ms of overhead per request. Cached responses return in under 10ms. This is negligible compared to LLM provider response times of 500ms to 5 seconds. The net effect is often faster responses due to caching and health-aware routing.

$10 free credits. 400+ models. 2-minute setup.

No credit card required. No provider accounts needed. One invoice for everything.
