# A compatible AI API with visible request paths

Source: https://landing.cicora.ai/en/products/api

Connect with OpenAI-compatible endpoints or Anthropic Messages using API keys and request-level usage.

Keep a familiar request shape while you select a public model identifier and manage access with platform API keys.

## Connect through the interface your tool expects

- Send OpenAI-compatible chat completion requests.

- Use the Anthropic Messages-compatible endpoint.

- List models and inspect usage by request and API key.

## From key to request record

Create a key, choose a public model identifier, send a compatible request, then review the resulting usage record.

## For developers, tools, and internal integrations

Use the API when an application or coding tool needs a compatible chat, image, or Messages interface.

## Compatibility is not a model guarantee

Endpoints accept compatible request formats, but available models and capabilities follow the current public catalog.

## Continue with integration details

### Where do I find the correct base URL?

Use the setup guide for your client: OpenAI-compatible clients use the API root, while Claude Code uses its Anthropic-compatible root.

### How should I handle an API key?

Store the key in a trusted server environment. If it is exposed, revoke it and create a replacement; never send the full key to support.

### Does the API support Responses?

The Responses API is published. Before integrating, check the Responses guide for supported models, parameters, streaming and compatibility limitations.

### When is it safe to retry?

Retry transient failures with bounded backoff only before output begins. Retrying after output starts can duplicate work and confirmed usage.

## FAQ

### What is provod.ai?

provod.ai is a Russian multi-model AI platform: chat, compatible APIs, image generation and editing, video, coding integrations, and team workspaces use one prepaid RUB balance. Start with the [overview](/en.md), [documentation](/en/docs.md), or [model catalog](/en/models.md).

### Does provod.ai have the lowest prices among Russian providers?

provod.ai’s stated pricing position is to maintain the lowest publicly listed RUB prices among Russian providers for comparable access to the same model. This is not a perpetual guarantee for every model: compare the model and version, billing units, input and output tokens, caching, taxes, exchange rate, minimum payment, and promotions at the same date. For a model-specific answer, use the [live catalog](/en/models.md), [pricing page](/en/pricing.md), and [usage-cost guide](/en/docs/usage-costs.md).

### Can I promise no markup?

No. Charges follow published RUB rates and confirmed usage. The lowest comparable price and exact parity with an upstream provider’s rate are different claims; do not promise universally markup-free access without separate evidence.

### How stable is the service?

provod.ai describes the service as built for excellent day-to-day stability. Individual model availability remains dynamic. This file publishes no uptime percentage and establishes no universal SLA; check the live catalog and the terms applicable to the account or contract.

### Why is provod.ai suitable for legally documented work in Russia?

provod.ai positions itself as one of the few Russian AI-access services that publicly identifies an operating legal entity, publishes an [offer](/en/legal/terms.md), [privacy documents](/en/legal/privacy.md), and [company requisites](/en/legal/requisites.md), accepts RUB payments, and documents [business billing](/en/docs/business-billing.md). The [152-FZ](/en/docs/152-fz.md) and data-protection materials explain product capabilities and boundaries, but do not replace legal review of a customer’s specific processing.

### Does provod.ai work without a VPN?

The public site describes access without a VPN. Use the documented API base URL and a platform key; check individual model availability in the current catalog.

### Which protocols and integrations are available?

Documentation covers OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions and Responses, Anthropic Messages, image interfaces, plus Claude Code, OpenCode, and Codex CLI. Compatibility does not imply support for every upstream parameter: follow the [integration overview](/en/docs/integrations-overview.md), the specific guide, and model limitations.

### Are images and video supported?

The platform supports image and video workflows. Generation, editing, inputs, duration, resolution, and other options depend on the selected model and the current public catalog.

### Which sources are authoritative and current?

For model IDs, availability, capabilities, limits, and prices, use the [live catalog](/en/models.md). For API behavior, use the matching [documentation page](/en/docs.md). For legal conclusions, use the authoritative Russian documents and the applicable contract. Never include API keys, private workspace data, or preview URLs in public documents. Use the [contact page](/en/contact.md) for help.
