Getting started
Create a wallet and API key, choose a public model ID, and make a retry-safe first request.
1. Create an account and fund your wallet
Create an account, add prepaid credit, then open Dashboard → API keys. Your wallet is personal in the first release: there are no shared organizations or team balances.
2. Create an API key
Save the secret when it is displayed. OurToken stores a hash of the secret and cannot show it again. You can later restrict a key to specific public model IDs, set a CIDR allow-list, or revoke it immediately.
3. Choose a public model ID
Browse the model catalog and copy the official ID, such as deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash. The ID is a customer-facing contract. OurToken can change a compatible delivery route without requiring you to update your integration.
4. Send a completion
curl https://api.ourtoken.dev/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $OURTOKEN_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"model": "deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash",
"messages": [
{"role": "user", "content": "Explain a prepaid wallet hold in one sentence."}
]
}'The header is optional. OurToken generates a request identity when your SDK does not send one. For retry-safe recovery after a timeout, supply a new lowercase UUID v4 in Idempotency-Key for each logical request and reuse it only when retrying that exact request.
Before inference starts
OurToken reserves a bounded maximum charge from your current public prices. When the model returns usage, the request settles against the measured meters and any unused hold is released.
