API Reference

Use the Aqta API by sending requests to our gateway. Same request shape as OpenAI — we add cost tracking, safety enforcement, and audit data to every response.

Base URL

Production: https://api.aqta.ai
Local dev: http://localhost:8000

All gateway endpoints use the /v1/ prefix (e.g. POST /v1/chat/completions).

Authentication

Include your API key in every request:

Authorization: Bearer sk-aqta-YOUR_KEY_HERE

Get your API key from the dashboard: Settings → API Keys.

See Authentication for setup details and security best practices.

Main endpoints

Method	Endpoint	Description
POST	`/v1/chat/completions`	Chat completions (OpenAI-compatible)
GET	`/v1/models`	List available models

Supports streaming and multiple providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Perplexity). See API Endpoints for request/response details.

Response shape

Responses match the OpenAI format, with an extra aqta object:

trace_id — request identifier for support and audit logs
cost_eur — cost in euros for this request
provider — which provider served the request
status — passed, suppressed, or blocked

Quick example (cURL)

curl https://api.aqta.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-aqta-YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gpt-4o",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
  }'
