Getting Started with BenPay AI API

Step 1: Access the AI API Page

After logging in to your BenPay account, navigate to the AI API page from the homepage or navigation bar.
 

Step 2: Claim Free Trial Credits

New users may be eligible to claim free trial credits once. After successful redemption, the trial credits will be added to your current AI API USD balance and can be used for model requests.
The current free trial credit amount is $0.30. Free trial availability is limited. Once claimed successfully, the credits will be automatically added to your account balance and become available for use.

Step 3: Create an API Key

An API Key is the authentication credential used to access BenPay AI API. Before making your first request, you need to create an API Key.

  1. Find the API Key section
  2. Click Create API Key
  3. Enter an API Key name
  4. Click Confirm Create
  5. Copy and securely save the complete API Key immediately after creation

 

What Should You Pay Attention to After Creating an API Key?

  • The full API Key is displayed only once. Please copy and save it immediately.
  • Do not expose your API Key on social media, public code repositories, or screenshots.
  • If you suspect that your API Key has been compromised, delete it immediately and create a new one.
  • Delete API Keys that are no longer in use to maintain account security.

How to View and Delete API Keys?

In the API Key list, you can view:
  • API Key name
  • Creation time
  • Last used time
  • Total usage
If you no longer need an API Key, you can delete it from the list.
Once deleted, the API Key can no longer be used for API requests.

  • Base URL
  • Authentication method
  • Description of the model field
  • cURL examples
When making requests, replace the API Key in the example with your own API Key and enter the correct Model ID.
Select the appropriate Base URL based on the model API format:
OpenAI-compatible Base URL:
https://api.benpay.ai/openai/v1
Anthropic-compatible Base URL:
https://api.benpay.ai/anthropic
 

model Field

The model field specifies the Model ID to be used for the request.
Copy the Model ID from the Supported Models section and enter it into the model field in your request.
