APIKO
One AI API aggregating text, image, and video models, callable through a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint with pay-as-you-go pricing.
About APIKO
APIKO is an aggregated AI API service: users call text, image, and video models through a single OpenAI-compatible interface, and can compare models by price and availability before making a call. Billing is based on actual usage — text requests are billed by token usage, while image and video requests are billed at each model's listed price; when an upstream call fails, the pre-frozen credit is automatically refunded. The account uses a unified balance top-up model, with top-up packages from $5 to $2000, and the balance never expires. The image API supports text-to-image generation and reference-image editing, and can be called synchronously or asynchronously (a task id is returned for polling); asynchronous result links are signed by APIKO and are only kept for 24 hours, so download and save them promptly. Account operations are handled in the console, including viewing balance and usage, creating and rotating API keys, and exporting request logs.
Best for
Best use cases
Compare models by price and availability before making calls
Unify text, image, and video generation behind a single API
Switch an existing project based on the OpenAI SDK to new models by simply changing the base URL
Use an asynchronous submit-and-poll workflow for image and video generation tasks
Features
Unified OpenAI-compatible endpoint
Call text, image, and video models through the same OpenAI-compatible interface, and compare models by price and availability before making a call.
SDK compatibility
Any method compatible with the OpenAI API works, including the official SDK, LangChain, LlamaIndex, or plain HTTP — just point the base URL to APIKO.
Image generation and editing
Supports text-to-image generation (/v1/images/generations) and reference-image editing (/v1/images/edits, up to 16 reference images; file uploads, base64, and data URLs are not accepted, and masks are not supported).
Synchronous and asynchronous calls
Image requests can be sent with "async": true to immediately receive a task id, then poll GET /v1/tasks/{id} every 5–10 seconds until completion or failure.
Unified balance, never expires
All models share a single account balance, and the balance never expires; when an upstream call fails, the pre-frozen credit is automatically refunded.
Console and usage management
The console lets you view balance, spending, and recent activity, create, revoke, and rotate API keys (plaintext is shown only once), view request logs, and export the current view.

- Compatible with existing tools like the OpenAI SDK, LangChain, and LlamaIndex — just change the base URL
- The balance never expires, and pre-frozen credit is automatically refunded for failed calls
- Supports both synchronous and asynchronous calls, and lets you compare models by price
