Getting started

Quickstart

From wallet to first response in about two minutes. If you already use the OpenAI or Anthropic SDK, you'll change one line.

Connect your wallet

Open the app and connect the wallet that holds your $ORBIX, or any wallet if you just want list-price access. You'll sign a message; it costs no gas.

Copy your API key

Your first key is created automatically and carries the holder discount. Find it under API keys and store it as an environment variable:

bash
export ORBIX_API_KEY="orb_live_…"
Top up

Add credit with ETH or USDG on Robinhood Chain from Balance. Credit is held in USD and drawn down per request after the discount.

Send a request

Point your SDK at https://api.useorbix.app/v1 and use any model id from the market.

OpenAI SDK

python
from openai import OpenAI
import os

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.useorbix.app/v1",
    api_key=os.environ["ORBIX_API_KEY"],
)

reply = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="anthropic/claude-sonnet-5.5",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Explain the ORBIX discount in one sentence."}],
)
print(reply.choices[0].message.content)

Anthropic SDK

ts
import Anthropic from "@anthropic-ai/sdk";

const client = new Anthropic({
  baseURL: "https://api.useorbix.app",
  apiKey: process.env.ORBIX_API_KEY,
});

const msg = await client.messages.create({
  model: "anthropic/claude-opus-5.5",
  max_tokens: 1024,
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello from orbit" }],
});

cURL

bash
curl https://api.useorbix.app/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ORBIX_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello from orbit"}],
    "stream": true
  }'

Check what you paid

Every response carries billing headers, so you can see the subsidy per request:

text
x-orbix-list-cost: 0.004120
x-orbix-discount: 0.45
x-orbix-charged: 0.002266
x-orbix-pool-factor: 0.75

The same numbers appear per request under Usage.
