NewAPI

NewAPI is an open-source API gateway that consolidates access to over 40 AI providers including OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek. It provides a single, standardized endpoint that follows OpenAI's API format, allowing developers to switch between AI models and providers without changing their application code. The platform handles all the complexity of managing multiple API keys and endpoints behind the scenes.

The system works by creating 'channels' that map model names to specific providers and their keys. You can configure load balancing weights, set priorities, and establish automatic failover rules between channels. NewAPI manages all upstream provider credentials server-side, so end-users only interact with your generated API keys that have custom quotas and rate limits. Every request is logged with details about model usage, token counts, and latency, providing full visibility into your AI costs and performance.

This is particularly valuable for development teams building AI-powered applications who need to maintain flexibility in their provider choices while keeping costs predictable. It eliminates the need to manage separate gateways for each AI service and provides centralized control over access policies. The self-hosted option makes it suitable for organizations with strict data governance requirements who want to maintain full control over their AI infrastructure.
