  • Auto routing across multiple top-tier models
  • Built-in failover when a provider blips
  • Per-call meter โ€” every request priced + logged

QUICKSTART

From zero to first request in 60 seconds.

1

Get your API key

Type "give me an API key" into the chat โ€” your key arrives in seconds. No signup form, no wait list.

Open chat โ†’
2

Make your first request

Standard OpenAI-shaped JSON. Use model: "auto" to let MeterCall pick the cheapest matching model โ€” or pin a specific one.

curl https://kai.metercall.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "auto",
    "messages": [
      {"role": "user", "content": "Write a one-sentence business idea."}
    ]
  }'
3

Or just swap your base URL

Already using openai or anthropic SDKs? Change one line. Your code keeps working.

import openai
client = openai.OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.openai.com/v1",
    base_url="https://kai.metercall.ai/v1",
    api_key=os.environ["KEY"],
)

See the cost in every response

The conversion moment. Every response carries the model used, what it actually cost, and how much you saved vs going direct.

{
  "id": "chatcmpl-XYZ123",
  "model": "auto-routed",
  "choices": [{ "message": { "content": "..." } }],
  "usage": {
    "prompt_tokens": 24,
    "completion_tokens": 31,
    "cost_usd": 0.0021,
    "savings_pct": 72,
    "latency_ms": 380
  }
}

UNDER THE HOOD

What actually happens when you fire a request

One platform. One balance. Every request flows through the same pipeline โ€” chat or agent or build, the rails are the same.

Why developers pick MeterCall

It's the same SDK you already use, hitting an endpoint that's smarter underneath.

60โ€“90% lower cost

Routes every request to the cheapest matching model. Same output, fraction of the bill.

๐Ÿ”

Built-in failover

If one provider blips, we route around it before your app notices. Your uptime tracks ours.

๐Ÿงฉ

OpenAI-compatible

Same JSON shape. Same SDKs. Same calls. Change one line, keep your code.

๐Ÿ“Š

Cost in every response
