What you get with your API key
Your new API key grants immediate access to the uncensored LLM API endpoint at https://api.veniceapialternative.com/v1. This key enables you to use the standard POST /v1/chat/completions endpoint, supporting both streaming via SSE and tool/function calling. You can interact with the model using the ID uncensored, which is an open-weight model running on our own GPU servers. The model is tuned to answer without content refusals, making it ideal for developers who need raw output for lawful adult, fictional, or security-research contexts. Note that this service does not offer embeddings, image generation, or fine-tuning; it is strictly a text-in, text-out chat completion API. You can also use the GET /v1/models endpoint to verify connectivity.
Billing and trial details
Every new account receives $0.50 of trial credit valid for 7 days, requiring no credit card to activate. This allows you to test the venice ai api capabilities without financial commitment. When your trial credit expires, you can top up with as little as $10 using crypto (USDT or USDC). We offer a transparent pay-as-you-go model with no monthly subscriptions: $0.25 per 1M input tokens and $1.00 per 1M output tokens. Paid credit never expires, and you receive a +5% bonus on deposits of $50 or more, and +10% on deposits of $100 or more. Your API key can be regenerated at any time from your dashboard, instantly revoking the previous key if it becomes compromised.
