# Nicrron

> One OpenAI-compatible API for chat, embedding, audio, image and video models from many providers, with routing slugs, fallback models and caching. Base URL: https://api.nicrron.ai/v1. Keys look like sk-af-…; send them as `Authorization: Bearer`.

Prices are each provider's list price. Requests paid from credits add a 5% platform fee; with your own provider key, the provider bills you and Nicrron charges 5% of the list price. We never store chat prompts. Completions are cached for up to 24 hours, only for your account, when temperature is 0 or you opt in.
