ToAPIs
ToAPIs is an OpenAI-compatible AI API gateway that aggregates over 200 AI models from multiple providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, ByteDance, Alibaba, and DeepSeek, covering text generation, image generation, and video generation. It provides a single API endpoint that mimics the OpenAI API contract, allowing developers to switch between models without changing their existing code. The platform offers features such as automated model failover, default-model routing, fallback policies, and unified billing, which simplifies multi-model management and cost optimization. It claims up to 70% cost savings compared to official provider rates by leveraging aggregated access. Integration involves replacing the base URL with ToAPIs' endpoint and using an API key, enabling immediate use with the OpenAI SDK or any HTTP client. The service is targeted at teams needing multi-model coverage, failover, and a low-friction migration path to a unified AI gateway.
