FAQ

## Before you start, you might ask

**How do I get started**

Sign up in the console, create an API key, and configure your tool per Quick Connect above. Pay as you go — no monthly fee, no minimum spend.

**Which protocols are supported**

Three endpoints: Anthropic-native /v1/messages, OpenAI-compatible /v1/chat/completions, and async video /videos/v1. The live list is GET /v1/models; full parameters in the [docs](https://tryaiapi.com/en/docs/).

**Teams and businesses**

We provision team, project, and per-seat quotas manually and can provide usage reconciliation and quotations. We can issue an invoice or a VAT invoice from our mainland China entity. Email us or reach out in the console.

**How is pricing set**

Discounts are reference discounts against each vendor’s published standard rates and itemized across input, output, and cache. Market-page prices match actual billing; the console at order time is authoritative.

**Do you store my request content**

Successful text requests store no prompts or completions — only billing metadata such as token counts, timestamps, and model IDs. Video jobs temporarily store parameters and download links for polling. Our billing and logging schema is published on the [transparency page](https://tryaiapi.com/en/transparency/) — open it and see what we store — and every call is queryable by model, key, and time.
