Connect a language model (LLM) via an API
How it works, in plain language. Then answer two short questions and get your personal advice.
What is it?
Use a language model (LLM) in your own app or workflow via an API: you send text to the model and get an answer back, paid per use.
How to start
- Pick a provider, create an API key and set a spending limit.
- Test your prompt in the provider’s playground first.
- Connect through the official SDK or an automation tool, and log costs and errors.
Watch out
- Never put your API key in the browser or in public code.
- Check whether your data is used for training and where it is processed (GDPR).
Tip: Start with a small, cheap model and only move up when the quality falls short.
