About Token1.US
A unified AI API gateway built by developers, for developers.
Our Mission
Token1.US exists to solve a simple but frustrating problem: accessing AI models should be easy, reliable, and affordable for everyone — regardless of where they are in the world.
We built a unified API gateway that provides a single endpoint for all major AI models. One API key, one SDK, one billing account — and you can call GPT-4o, Claude Sonnet, GLM-4-Plus, DeepSeek-V3, and dozens more. No need to maintain separate accounts with each provider, deal with regional access restrictions, or juggle multiple SDK versions.
What We Do
Token1.US is an AI API gateway — a proxy service that sits between your application and multiple AI model providers. When you send a request through our gateway:
- We authenticate your API key and check your balance
- We route your request to the correct upstream provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Zhipu AI, DeepSeek)
- We translate the request format if needed for compatibility
- We stream the response back to you in real-time
- We bill your account based on exact token usage — transparently
All of this happens in milliseconds. From your application's perspective, it looks and feels exactly like calling the OpenAI API directly.
Why Developers Choose Token1.US
Full OpenAI API Compatibility
If your code uses the OpenAI SDK, you can switch to Token1.US by changing just one line — the base_url. No code rewrites, no new SDKs, no API learning curve. Every feature works: streaming, function calling, vision, JSON mode, and more.
Global Access Without Barriers
Many AI providers have regional restrictions. Token1.US removes these barriers. Developers from any country can access GPT, Claude, and other models through our global CDN infrastructure — no VPN, no proxy, no workaround needed.
Transparent Per-Token Pricing
We charge exactly what each model costs — no hidden markups, no monthly subscriptions, no minimum spending. You prepay a balance and are billed per-token for input and output. Every transaction is visible in your dashboard with exact token counts and costs.
All Major Models in One Place
| Provider | Models Available |
|---|---|
| OpenAI | GPT-4o, GPT-4o-mini, o1, o3-mini |
| Anthropic | Claude Sonnet, Claude Opus, Claude Haiku |
| Zhipu AI | GLM-4-Plus, GLM-4-Flash, GLM-5.2 |
| DeepSeek | DeepSeek-V3, DeepSeek-R1 |
Security and Privacy
We take security seriously. Here is how we protect your data:
- HTTPS encryption: All API traffic is encrypted with TLS 1.3
- API key security: Keys are hashed and stored securely; they are never logged in plaintext
- Short log retention: Request logs are retained for only 7 days for debugging purposes, then automatically deleted
- No content storage: We do not store your conversation content permanently. Logs contain metadata only (timestamps, token counts, model names)
- Prepaid balance protection: Spending is limited to your prepaid balance — no surprise bills, no credit card charges
Reliability and Uptime
Our infrastructure is designed for production-grade reliability:
- 99.9% uptime SLA — monitored 24/7 with automated alerting
- Global CDN — requests are routed through the nearest edge location for low latency
- Automatic failover — if one upstream provider is down, we can route to alternative endpoints
- Rate limit protection — we absorb provider rate limit fluctuations so your application gets consistent throughput
