Quickstart

Mint a key, send a request, and see it land in usage — about two minutes end to end.

You need an account with credit on it and a terminal. Nothing to install.

1. Mint a key

Open API Keys and create one. The raw key is shown once and never again — there is no recovery path, which is the point. Copy it somewhere safe.

Keys look like this:

text
sk-ww-3f8c1d0a94b7e25610fa8c3d47b9e0125faa6d38c1b0947e

Only the first ten characters are stored in a readable form, so the dashboard can show you sk-ww-3f8c and nothing more.

2. Send a request

bash
curl -sS "https://api.webway.example/v1/chat/completions" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WEBWAY_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "openai/gpt-5.6-luna",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
    "max_tokens": 64
  }'

The response is the shape an OpenAI client already expects, so any SDK that takes a base_url works unchanged:

python
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.webway.example/v1",
    api_key=os.environ["WEBWAY_API_KEY"],
)

3. Watch it land

Open Usage. The request appears as part of the day's totals within a minute of finishing — tokens in, tokens out, what it cost, and how long the first token took.

If the spend column reads $0.00, the call was cheap rather than free. Costs are held in micro-dollars and only rounded when they are printed.
