Getting Started

Quickstart

Make your first API call in 60 seconds — no installation required.

You don't need to install anything to do your first inference. You only need your access token. DEVUP AI gives you access to 100+ open-source models at the best prices available.

Step 1: Get your API key

Go to the Dashboard and create an API key. If you're logged in, examples throughout the docs will have your token pre-filled.

Step 2: Make your first API call

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="$DEVUP_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://api.devupai.com/v1",
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)

The response looks like this:

json
{
    "id": "chatcmpl-guMTxWgpFf",
    "object": "chat.completion",
    "created": 1694623155,
    "model": "deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3",
    "choices": [
        {
            "index": 0,
            "message": {
                "role": "assistant",
                "content": "Hello! It's nice to meet you. Is there something I can help you with?"
            },
            "finish_reason": "stop"
        }
    ],
    "usage": {
        "prompt_tokens": 15,
        "completion_tokens": 16,
        "total_tokens": 31,
        "estimated_cost": 0.0000268
    }
}

That's it

You're using the OpenAI Chat Completions API — the same interface you already know. The only changes are:

  • Base URL: https://api.devupai.com/v1
  • API key: your DEVUP AI token
  • Model: any model from our catalog

Install the SDK (optional)

pip install openai
