Unified AI Chat, Terminal Assistant and Model API Gateway

Light API brings together web chat, a terminal assistant and an OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible API gateway backed by server-side accounting. Start with the free daily allowance in your browser or connect a capped personal API key to VS Code, Cursor, Claude Code and OpenCode.

How the Platform Works

All rate limits, quota reservations and key controls are enforced on the server and inside the gateway, with transparent usage settlement.

Web Chat & Light AI Terminal

Use up to 10 free messages per day without an account, or sign in with Telegram or a password for up to 50 free requests per day (up to 2024 input tokens, 512 output tokens, and memory of the last 5 messages).

Two Account Types

Signing in with Telegram opens the shared wallet linked to the Telegram bot. Registering with a username and password on the website creates an independent account with its own separate wallet balance.

Account setup guide

Capped & Expiring API Keys

Create personal API keys in your account, select allowed models, set a USD spending cap and expiration (7, 30, 90, 365 days or no expiration), and replace or revoke keys at any time.

Manage API keys

Desktop Installers & Standard Protocols

The gateway supports OpenAI (/v1/chat/completions) and Anthropic (/v1/messages) protocols, with ready setup archives for Windows and macOS.

Quota Reservation & Referral Program

Pre-Request Quota Reservation

Before dispatching a paid text request, the gateway verifies both your key spending cap and wallet balance, reserves the upper-bound token cost and automatically refunds any unused reservation once the response finishes.

10% Referral Commission

You earn 10% from confirmed genuine top-ups made by users who join through your referral link. Test credits do not generate commission, refunds adjust rewards, and payouts are processed manually through support.
