CometAPI is a unified AI API gateway that gives developers one OpenAI-compatible key to access 500+ AI models — including GPT, Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek — at 20% or more below official pricing. Instead of juggling separate accounts, keys, and billing for OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, you integrate once and switch models by changing a single line of code.

What Is CometAPI?

CometAPI is a single API platform that aggregates large language models and multimodal models behind one endpoint and one credential. Its core promise is simple: “Stop managing separate keys for OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google.” Because the API is OpenAI-compatible, teams that already use the OpenAI SDK can point their existing code at CometAPI and immediately reach hundreds of additional models without re-architecting their stack.

This makes CometAPI an LLM API gateway — infrastructure that sits between your application and every major model provider, handling authentication, routing, billing, and analytics in one place.

Key Features

  • One API key for everything — Replace separate OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google credentials with a single CometAPI key.
  • OpenAI-compatible API — Existing OpenAI SDK code works without refactoring; just update the base_url.
  • Instant model switching — Change models with one line of code and zero vendor lock-in.
  • Pay-as-you-go billing — No monthly subscription, no minimum spend, and credits that roll over with no expiration.
  • Real-time analytics — Usage dashboards with spend tracking and budget alerts on a single unified invoice.
  • Enterprise privacy — Data is never used for model training, and prompts are not logged.

Supported AI Models

CometAPI provides access to 500+ models across every major modality:

  • Chat & text: GPT, Claude (Fable 5, Opus 4.8), Gemini (3.5 Flash, 3.1 Pro), DeepSeek, Grok, Kimi, and MiniMax.
  • Image generation: GPT Image 2 and FLUX.
  • Video generation: text-to-video and image-to-video models.
  • Multimodal & documents: image-to-text and PDF-to-text workloads.

CometAPI Pricing

CometAPI is pay-as-you-go with every model priced at a minimum of 20% below official provider rates (often 20–40% cheaper). There is no subscription and credits never expire. Representative published pricing per 1M tokens:

Claude Fable 5$8$1020%

Gemini 3.5 Flash$1.2$1.520%
Gemini 3.1 Pro$1.6$2.020%
Kimi K2.7 Code$0.76$0.9520%
MiniMax-M3$0.48$0.620%

For high-volume teams, CometAPI offers flexible discounts at scale and an enterprise tier with dedicated servers and unlimited RPM/TPM.

Integrations & Compatibility

One CometAPI key works across the tools developers already use:

  • Coding agents: Claude Code, Codex, Cline, and OpenClaw.
  • Automation platforms: n8n, Zapier, and Make.
  • App builders: Coze and Dify.

Because the endpoint is OpenAI-compatible, any framework or SDK that speaks the OpenAI format — LangChain, Cursor, and similar tools — can connect with only a base URL change.

How to Get Started

Getting running takes four steps:

  1. Sign up for free — no credit card required.
  2. Get your API key — a single credential for all 500+ models.
  3. Update your base_url — point your existing OpenAI SDK at CometAPI.
  4. Build and scale — pay only for what you use.
import openai

client = openai.OpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://api.cometapi.com/v1",
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-5.4",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

Who Should Use CometAPI

  • SaaS and app developers embedding AI features who want to avoid provider lock-in.
  • Enterprise teams centralizing AI spend under one invoice and dashboard.
  • Automation builders wiring models into n8n, Make, and Zapier workflows.
  • Researchers and prototypers comparing many models without opening an account for each.

Why Choose CometAPI

CometAPI’s strongest differentiators are breadth, compatibility, and cost: 500+ models behind one OpenAI-compatible key, instant switching with no lock-in, and pricing that runs 20–40% below official rates — backed by a stated 99.9% uptime and sub-400ms average response time. For any team building on more than one model, it removes the integration tax of maintaining multiple provider SDKs, keys, and invoices.

Frequently asked questions

What is CometAPI?

CometAPI is a unified AI API gateway that gives developers a single OpenAI-compatible key to call 500+ AI models — including GPT, Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek — instead of managing a separate account and API key for each provider.

How many AI models does CometAPI support?

CometAPI provides access to 500+ models through one endpoint, spanning chat and text (GPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Grok, Kimi, MiniMax), image generation (GPT Image 2, FLUX), and video generation models.

Is CometAPI compatible with the OpenAI SDK?

Yes. CometAPI is OpenAI-compatible, so existing OpenAI SDK code works without refactoring. You only change the base_url to https://api.cometapi.com/v1 and swap the model name to switch between providers.

How much can I save with CometAPI?

CometAPI prices every model at a minimum of 20% below official provider rates, with savings of 20–40% on many models. For example, Claude Fable 5 is listed at $8 per 1M tokens versus the official $10, and Claude Opus 4.8 at $4 versus $5.

Does CometAPI require a monthly subscription?

No. CometAPI uses pay-as-you-go billing with no monthly subscription and no minimum spend. Credits roll over and unused balance is kept for future use with no expiration.

Is there a free trial, and is my data private?

Yes. You can start free with trial credits and no credit card required. CometAPI states that data is never used for model training and prompts are not logged, with 99.9% service uptime and a sub-400ms average response time.
