ngrok AI Gateway

ngrok AI Gateway is a hosted service that lets you route AI model calls from any SDK to any provider — OpenAI, Anthropic, your own local LLM, or a custom endpoint — all through one URL. You just change your baseURL to https://gateway.ngrok.ai, swap your API key, and you're done. No need to deploy infrastructure or manage multiple integrations. The gateway handles routing, fallback, retries, and access control, so your app talks to one endpoint and the gateway figures out where to send each request.

What makes it stand out is how little setup it requires. You bring your own API keys (BYOK) for the providers you already pay, and manage them all in one place. Each app or developer can get a scoped access key that limits which models and providers they can call. The observability dashboard shows tokens, latency, and errors rolled up across every routed call, so you know exactly what each app or team is spending. If a model slows down or fails, the gateway automatically reroutes to a healthy alternative — no code changes needed. It also retries failed requests instantly. The whole thing is programmable via API, so you can configure it from Terraform, CLI, or your coding agent.

This tool is built for developers and engineering teams who work with multiple AI models and need a single point of control. It's especially useful if you're running self-hosted models (like Ollama) alongside public APIs and want private connectivity without exposing ports. Teams that need to enforce cost tracking, access limits, or reliability guarantees across different projects will find the scoped keys and fallback routing invaluable. If you're tired of juggling API keys and error handling for every model, ngrok AI Gateway simplifies it all into one URL.
