Quick Start¶

Get up and running with the Pay Digital LLM Platform API in under 2 minutes.

1. Get Your API Key¶

Sign up or log in at Pay Digital LLM Platform
Go to API Keys in the left sidebar
Create a key — give it a name and, optionally, a quota limit
Copy the generated key (starts with sk-)

Keep your key safe

Your API key grants access to your account balance. Never share it publicly or commit it to version control. If you lose it, you can reveal it again from the API Keys page.

2. Make Your First Request¶

cURLPython (OpenAI SDK)JavaScript (Node.js)

curl https://llm.paydigital.shop/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gpt-4o",
    "messages": [
      {"role": "user", "content": "Hello! What can you do?"}
    ]
  }'

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="sk-YOUR_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://llm.paydigital.shop/v1"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4o",
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "Hello! What can you do?"}
    ]
)

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

import OpenAI from 'openai';

const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: 'sk-YOUR_API_KEY',
  baseURL: 'https://llm.paydigital.shop/v1',
});

const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'gpt-4o',
  messages: [
    { role: 'user', content: 'Hello! What can you do?' },
  ],
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);

3. Explore¶

Browse available models to find the right one for your use case
Check your balance and usage in the dashboard
Read the Chat Completions reference for advanced features (streaming, function calling, vision)

OpenAI SDK Compatibility¶

Our API is fully compatible with the official OpenAI SDK. To switch from OpenAI to Pay Digital LLM Platform, you only need to change two things:

Parameter	OpenAI	Pay Digital LLM Platform
`base_url`	`https://api.openai.com/v1`	`https://llm.paydigital.shop/v1`
`api_key`	Your OpenAI key	Your Pay Digital LLM Platform key (`sk-...`)

Everything else — models, parameters, response format — works exactly the same.
