OpenAI API
PaidDeveloper API for GPT, reasoning, image, audio and embedding models
What is OpenAI API?
The OpenAI API gives developers programmatic access to OpenAI's GPT and reasoning models, plus image generation, speech, transcription and embeddings. It is billed per token or per request, and it powers a large share of AI features in apps today.
The Responses API combines chat, tool calling, web and file search, code execution and computer use in one endpoint, and the Agents SDK helps build multi-step agents on top of it. Realtime and audio endpoints support voice apps.
The platform dashboard covers API keys, usage limits, batch jobs at a discount, fine-tuning, evals and prompt management. Enterprises can also reach the same models through Microsoft Foundry.
