TokLab

One API for AI image, video, LLM and audio models, billed only when requests succeed

TokLab introduction

TokLab is an AI model API platform that lets developers call AI image, video, LLM and audio models through one key and one base URL. It offers live per-model pricing, OpenAI/Anthropic/Gemini-compatible request formats, a shared task API for media jobs, and pay-as-you-go credits that never expire with no subscription.

TokLab overview

TokLab provides a single API key and base URL for accessing AI image, video, language and audio models from providers including OpenAI, xAI, Google, Anthropic, ByteDance, MiniMax, DeepSeek, Kimi, Meta and Kuaishou. Developers top up a USD balance and pay per request in each model's own billing unit (per million tokens, per image, per second of video, or per minute of audio). Failed requests are not charged, credits never expire, and there is no subscription. TokLab accepts OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini request formats, and image, video and audio jobs use a shared task API where you submit a request, receive a task id, then poll for the result. The platform also supports price tiers selectable via the model name, consistent error codes across models, usage history with per-request charges, and an MCP server for agent clients.
