DevThrottle API

3 min read

The DevThrottle API is one key for the hosted AI your tools use - an OpenAI-compatible surface, so anything that speaks the OpenAI API shape can point at DevThrottle by changing the base URL and the key. The app does not need any of this to run your agents; the API exists for the things you build yourself.

Base URL

https://devthrottle.com/api/v1

Authentication is a DevThrottle API key (dt_...) sent as a bearer token - see authentication.

What is available today

Chat completions - OpenAI-compatible POST /chat/completions, including streaming.
Transcription - OpenAI-compatible POST /audio/transcriptions.
Models - GET /models, the models your key can call.
Errors and limits - the error shape and status codes.

Image generation is not available yet; its page will appear here when it ships.

How it is paid

One rule: direct catalog-model calls are billed from prepaid credits - pay-per-use, and nothing can spend past the credits you loaded. Dictation, spoken replies, and the wingman are included in Pro and the 14-day Pro trial with no usage charge - and that entitlement covers transcription reached through this API too. Every request appears in Usage, per key and per model.

Note

OpenAI compatibility means request and response shapes, including SSE streaming. Point an existing OpenAI SDK at the base URL above with your dt_ key and most code needs no other change.
