How APIXO Works

Understand APIXO’s API families, task flow, routing, and keys

APIXO has two main API patterns:

• Generation APIs for image, video, and audio models. These are async because generation can take seconds or minutes.
• Chat API for Claude, OpenAI, and Gemini compatible APIs. It behaves like a direct provider API through APIXO’s LLM gateway.

API families

API family	Base URL	Best for	Result pattern
Generation APIs	https://api.apixo.ai/api/v1	Images, videos, music, and other generated media	generateTask plus statusTask or webhooks
Chat API	https://llm.apixo.ai	Chat, coding tools, agents, and LLM apps	Direct non-streaming or streaming response

Generation task flow

1. Submit a task to POST /generateTask/{model}.
2. Receive a taskId.
3. Poll GET /statusTask/{model}?taskId=... or receive a webhook.
4. Read the final result when state is success.

This flow is used by image, video, and audio models because provider generation time is not instant.

Chat API flow

1. Pick the compatible API format your app already supports.
2. Set the base URL to https://llm.apixo.ai.
3. Use your APIXO API key in the provider-compatible auth header.
4. Keep the official request body and model field.

Use Chat API Overview when you are connecting official SDKs or third-party apps.

Routing strategies

APIXO routing is configured per API key:

Strategy	Best for	Behavior
Auto	Most users	Value-first with failover to Official routes
Value	Cost-sensitive workloads	Partner routes optimized for price
Official	Mission-critical workloads	Official or officially authorized routes

See Routing Strategies for details.
