Quick Start

Get your first AI response in 3 steps.

Tchavi is an OpenAI-compatible AI API gateway. Follow these three steps to make your first request and get an AI response back.

1. Create an account and add credits

Sign up at /register, then buy credits from your billing dashboard with mobile money (from 1 000 FCFA). Your first top-up carries a +300 bonus credits and unlocks every model in the catalogue.

2. Create an API key

Go to your API Keys dashboard and create a new key. Copy it — you won't see it again.

3. Make your first request

import Tchavi from '@tchavi/sdk';

const client = new Tchavi({ apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY' });

const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'gpt-4o-mini',
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello!' }],
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
console.log('Credits used:', response.tchavi.credits_used);
