OpenAI API
The OpenAI API is programmatic access to OpenAI's GPT models, the same models behind ChatGPT. Through the API your app can run chatbots, write content, extract data or run agents.
On Helipod, GPT models are called through an endpoint compatible with the OpenAI SDK. Existing code only needs a new base URL and API key, and usage is billed per token in Rupiah.
A separate account, dollar billing and an international credit card.
The same OpenAI models, billed in Rupiah from one balance.
