FAQ

General

What exactly is Qevron? An AI gateway that unifies many AI providers behind one OpenAI-compatible API. One key, one address, one format. See What is Qevron?

I don't have an OpenAI account — can I still use it? Yes. You connect to Qevron only with a Qevron API key. Provider keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) are managed on the Qevron side; you don't need to know them.

Authentication

How do I get an API key? Create a token in the Qevron admin dashboard. See Authentication.

I'm getting 401 Unauthorized, why? The key is missing or wrong. Make sure you send the Authorization: Bearer sk-... header correctly. If using an SDK, check the api_key and base_url settings.

Models

Which models are available? List the models your key can access with GET /v1/models. See Models API.

I'm getting 404 model_not_found. The model name may be misspelled, or your group has no access to it. Use the names from the /v1/models output.

Can I use OpenAI model names (e.g. gpt-4o)? Only if that model is defined on a channel in your deployment. Always verify available names with /v1/models.

Requests

How do I stream the response? Add "stream": true to the request. See Streaming.

I get an error when I send an image. Images only work on vision-capable models (e.g. spook-vision). Don't send images to text models like verinova. Also, large images may return 413; downscale before sending. See Vision.

What does 429 Too Many Requests mean? You exceeded the rate limit. Wait until the time in the X-RateLimit-Reset-* header and retry. See API Keys & Quota.

Billing

How do I see how much I've spent? Look at the usage field in each response or the /v1/dashboard/billing/usage endpoint.
