Website, API, and docs: which Gatepx host should you use?

Use the API host for inference and keep account and documentation traffic on their own hosts.

Gateway Premium

Gatepx uses three public hosts with different jobs. Choosing the right host keeps application configuration clear and makes failures easier to investigate. The inference base URL is https://api.gatepx.ai/v1.

gatepx.ai: your account and dashboard

Use gatepx.ai to sign in, create API keys, inspect usage, manage your account, and review the public pricing reference. These are browser-facing account and product tasks. Your website session is separate from the API key that an application sends with an inference request.

api.gatepx.ai: application requests

Send supported model requests to the API host. For an OpenAI-compatible SDK, set its base URL to https://api.gatepx.ai/v1. A chat request then goes to /chat/completions relative to that base URL.

import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  baseURL: "https://api.gatepx.ai/v1",
  apiKey: process.env.GATEPX_API_KEY,
});

The API host is not the destination for dashboard navigation or browser sign-in. Send the Gatepx API key in the Authorization header over HTTPS; do not put it in the address or query string. Keep the client configuration on your server.

docs.gatepx.ai: the integration reference

Use docs.gatepx.ai for endpoint examples, model discovery, streaming, request errors, and SDK configuration. Blog articles explain a workflow; the documentation provides the current reference details.

Check an existing integration

  • Inspect the actual base URL used by the deployed application, including environment overrides and trailing paths. Avoid accidentally constructing /v1/v1/chat/completions.
  • Confirm that the credential is a Gatepx API key. A provider API key or website password belongs to a different system.
  • Choose an enabled model ID, make a small request, and confirm that the returned response matches what your application expects.
  • Check application and dashboard usage records before increasing traffic.

Moving to the API host is a configuration change, but it still deserves an end-to-end test. If a request fails, record the destination host, HTTP status, and request ID without recording secrets. The first-request guide gives a minimal check, and the SDK migration guide covers the compatibility checks for an existing application.

Try it with your own traffic

Point your OpenAI SDK at api.gatepx.ai/v1 and choose an enabled model.
