What you get
OpenAI-Compatible Interface
Uses the exact same chat-completions endpoint structure. Your existing code works immediately after updating the base URL and API key.
Single Uncensored Model
No routers or multiple model options. We serve one open-weight model tuned to answer without content refusals for lawful adult use.
Transparent Token Pricing
Pay-as-you-go prepaid credit with no monthly fees. Input tokens cost $0.25 per million; output tokens cost $1.00 per million.
Privacy-First Design
Your prompts are not used for training. Sign up with just an email and password, and you can regenerate your key at any time.
Streaming & Tools
Supports Server-Sent Events for streaming responses and full tool/function calling capabilities within the standard OpenAI-compatible format.
No Hidden Tiers
One model, one price. No hidden usage tiers or complex routing logic that obscures where your requests go or how they are processed.
How it works
Create Account
Sign up with your email and password to receive your unique API key instantly without needing a credit card.
Update Configuration
Change your client's base URL to https://api.openaiapialternative.com/v1 and insert your new API key.
Send Requests
Make POST requests to /v1/chat/completions and receive uncensored text responses using your existing SDKs.
What people build with it
Content Generation
Generate long-form articles, stories, or creative writing without hitting standard content filters that block mature or controversial themes. Ideal for authors needing unrestricted output.
Developer Testing
Test your chatbot's responses to edge cases, roleplay scenarios, or sensitive topics without worrying about artificial refusals disrupting your workflow.
Research & Analysis
Use the model for security research or data analysis where neutral, unfiltered responses are required for accurate results.
Custom Applications
Integrate an uncensored LLM into your own applications, ensuring that your users get direct answers without corporate moderation layers.
Drop-in Compatibility: Swap the Base URL
An openai api alternative should not require rewriting your codebase. We offer a hosted, OpenAI-compatible chat-completions API that mirrors the standard interface exactly. You send text in and get text out using the same POST /v1/chat/completions endpoint structure that you already know. This includes support for streaming via Server-Sent Events (SSE) and tool/function calling, ensuring your existing integrations work out of the box.
To switch, you only need to update two values in your client configuration: the base_url to https://api.openaiapialternative.com/v1 and your API_KEY. No changes to the request payload or response parsing are needed. We do not offer embeddings, image generation, audio, or video capabilities, keeping the service focused purely on high-quality text completion. This simplicity means you can deploy the change in minutes rather than days.
One Uncensored Model, No Routing
Many alternatives act as routers, sending your request to various models like GPT-4, Claude, or Gemini depending on availability or cost. We offer a single, transparently priced uncensored LLM API. Our model is an open-weight large language model run on our own GPU servers, specifically tuned to answer without content refusals for lawful adult use. It is not GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or any other vendor's model.
This approach eliminates the complexity of model routing. You know exactly which model is processing your data and how it behaves. The model does not refuse controversial, fictional, or security-research topics, providing a consistent experience. The only hard limit that always applies is that sexual content involving minors is blocked. This focus ensures predictable latency and pricing without the variability of multi-vendor aggregators.
Developer-First Pricing: $0.25/$1.00 per 1M tokens
Our pricing is straightforward and based on actual token usage. Input tokens cost $0.25 per 1M tokens, and output tokens cost $1.00 per 1M tokens. We use a pay-as-you-go prepaid credit system with no monthly fees and no hidden tiers. Your paid credit never expires, so you only pay for what you use when you use it.
You can top up from $10 using a credit card or cryptocurrency. For larger deposits, we offer bonus credits: +5% bonus for top-ups of $50 or more, and +10% bonus for top-ups of $100 or more. Every new account receives a $0.50 trial credit valid for 7 days, requiring no credit card or phone number. Limits are set at 300 requests per minute per key and an 8 MB request body, which is sufficient for most large context window uses.
Start Free: $0.50 Trial Credit
We want you to verify compatibility before committing funds. Sign up on the Get API key page with just your email and password. You will receive your API key instantly, along with a $0.50 trial credit valid for 7 days. No credit card or phone number is required to start.
This trial allows you to test streaming, function calling, and the uncensored nature of the model in your own environment. Once you are ready, you can top up your account. If you need a dedicated uncensored llm api that respects your privacy and offers predictable pricing, this is the most direct path to integration.
Who This Is Not For
This service is not for you if you need multi-modal capabilities. We do not offer image generation, audio processing, video creation, or text embeddings. We also do not offer fine-tuning, search capabilities, or OCR. If you require a specific Service Level Agreement (SLA) percentage, SOC2, HIPAA, or ISO certifications, or on-premises deployment, this service is not for you. We are a simple, text-only API for developers who want a direct replacement for the OpenAI chat-completions endpoint without the overhead of a large enterprise platform. If you need to route between multiple vendor models or access GPT-4, Claude, or Gemini, you should look at multi-model routers instead.
Questions and answers
Is this API compatible with the official OpenAI SDKs?
Yes. We support the exact same <code>POST /v1/chat/completions</code> endpoint structure as OpenAI. You can use the official OpenAI Python and Node.js SDKs by simply changing the <code>base_url</code> to <code>https://api.openaiapialternative.com/v1</code> and updating your API key. Streaming and tool calling are also supported.
What does "uncensored" mean for this model?
Our model is tuned to answer without content refusals for lawful adult use. It will engage with controversial, fictional, or mature topics that might be blocked by standard corporate models. The only hard limit that always applies is that sexual content involving minors is blocked. We do not encourage illegal use, but we do not filter lawful adult content.
Do you use my prompts for training?
No. We are an independent service that prioritizes privacy. Your prompts are not used to train our models. You can sign up with just an email and password, and your data remains yours. We do not require a phone number or credit card for the initial trial.
What is the context window size?
The model supports a context window of 64,000 tokens, which includes both the prompt and the completion. This allows for large documents or extensive conversation histories to be processed in a single request, subject to the 8 MB request body limit.
How do I get started with the free trial?
Visit the "Get API key" page and sign up with your email and password. You will receive your API key immediately, along with a $0.50 trial credit valid for 7 days. No credit card or phone number is required. You can then test the API with your existing code by updating the base URL.
Your key is one form away
Create an account, copy the key, change the base URL. That is the whole setup.
