Kolank Open Unified API (LLMs, Models, and Loading) Overview
Kolank offers a unified API platform that aggregates various AI models (language, image, video, loading models) with built-in load balancing, fallbacks, cost and performance metrics. It enables developers to access multiple model families (e.g., OpenAI GPT-4o) through a single API surface, with production-grade reliability and monitoring. The platform emphasizes ease of integration, scalable request routing, and transparent metrics for cost and performance.
How to Use Kolank Unified API
- Get API Key: Obtain an API key from your Kolank account (Get API Key Now!).
- Authenticate: Include your API key in requests (example below).
- Make a Request: Use the unified endpoint to interact with supported models (text, code, images, etc.).
- Handle Responses: Rely on built-in fallbacks and metrics to ensure reliability.
Example (Python):
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
base_url = "https://kolank.com/api/v1",
api_key = "$KOLANK_API_KEY"
)
completion = client.chat.completions.create(
model = "openai/gpt-4o",
messages = [
{ "role": "user", "content": "What is the capital of France?" }
],
)
print(completion.choices[0].message.content)
Note: Replace "$KOLANK_API_KEY" with your actual API key. The example demonstrates how to call a chat completion for a given model via Kolank's unified API endpoint.
Models and Capabilities
- Access a unified set of models (language, image, video, loading models) through a single API.
- Load balancing across multiple models and endpoints with automatic fallbacks.
- Cost and performance metrics exposed to help you optimize usage.
- Quick-start templates and example calls for rapid integration.
How It Works
- You request a model via the unified endpoint.
- Kolank routes the request to an available model with load balancing and fallbacks.
- You receive a response along with metrics and potential fallback suggestions if needed.
Safety and Compliance Considerations
- Use responsible AI practices and comply with platform terms.
- Ensure proper handling of API keys and protect sensitive data.
