Prices in USD. Savings figures use the ×0.090625 factor shared by the Starter packs. Bronze and Gold lower it to 0.0891 and 0.09 respectively, so their real token cost is lower still. In Morocco, Manza charges the equivalent in MAD; Mobile Money charges local currency at the day's exchange rate.

Platform

Developer experience first

Integrate once, switch forever. Our API is fully OpenAI-compatible, so it drops straight into your current stack.

Drop-in OpenAI compatibility

Keep your SDK and request format. Change the base URL and the key — that is the whole migration.

client.py

- base_url="https://api.openai.com/v1"

+ base_url="https://faborapi.com/v1"

+ api_key="sk-fabor-…"

Streaming built in

Server-sent events with a final usage chunk, so you can show tokens as they arrive.

Reasoning effort, one model

Grouped Claude models take an effort setting instead of separate model names. Medium is used when you send none.

Anthropic Messages & Claude Code

Native /v1/messages and OpenAI /v1/responses endpoints. Point Claude Code at https://faborapi.com and keep working.

ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://faborapi.com

Files up to 20 MB

Send PDFs, images and documents inline or upload them once to /v1/files, on models that can read them.

Failed requests are free

Only successful requests are deducted from your balance, itemized per call on your Usage page.

AI Assistant included

Chat with every model from your dashboard — attach files, pick the effort — billed from the same balance, no key needed.

One prepaid balance

No subscription and no per-provider billing: one balance covers Claude, GPT, Gemini and Grok.

Pay your way

Bank cards through Stripe, Mobile Money in supported African countries, and Manza in Morocco.

Editors

How it works in Cursor & VS Code

Connect your editor to the AI models currently listed in faborapi without rebuilding your application. Cursor supports custom OpenAI settings; in VS Code, use an extension that accepts an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, such as Continue. These instructions configure chat requests, not every proprietary editor feature.

  1. 1

    Prepare your account. Sign up, confirm your email, and create an API key. Check your prepaid balance and copy an exact model ID from the live catalog; a model mentioned in a comparison may not currently be available.

  2. 2

    Set the connection. In Cursor’s model settings, enter your faborapi key and override the OpenAI base URL. In Continue, choose the OpenAI provider and set the same address: https://faborapi.com/v1. Add the selected model ID explicitly. Menu names vary by version.

  3. 3

    Test before switching. Send a short prompt, confirm the response, and inspect Usage for token deductions. Keep production keys in environment variables, never in committed code. Check extension support before enabling streaming or tools.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does the $29 for $320 credit offer work?

Pay $29 to add $320 of prepaid API credit to your faborapi balance, a 91% discount against credit face value. Requests deduct credit at the model’s listed nominal token rates, so your real cash cost is the credit rate × 0.090625. Credits are model consumption, not cash or a withdrawable balance.

What is the minimum top-up, and which credit packs exist?

The minimum top-up is the Nano Pack: pay $10 and receive $100 of API credit. faborapi sells 6 packs: Nano $10 for $100, Mini $15 for $160, Starter $29 for $320, Bronze $49 for $550, Silver $89 for $930, Gold $99 for $1100. Every pack unlocks the same models and token rates; packs with bonus credit lower the real cost factor (Starter: × 0.090625).

Is faborapi fully compatible with the official OpenAI SDK?

You can use the official OpenAI SDK with faborapi's OpenAI-compatible chat completions endpoint. Set base_url to https://faborapi.com/v1 and use your sk-fabor- API key. Compatibility covers the endpoints and parameters documented by faborapi, not every feature of the official OpenAI API; dedicated image, video and audio generation endpoints are not available.

What AI models are available (Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok)?

faborapi is built for Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, Google Gemini and xAI Grok models through one API key and balance, but only the model IDs currently enabled in the live catalog (or GET /v1/models) can be called. Availability and supported capabilities vary by model; the API returns text, code and JSON rather than generated image or video files.

Which payment methods are accepted (Cards, Mobile Money)?

faborapi accepts bank cards through Stripe, Manza payments in Morocco (charged in MAD), and Mobile Money in supported African countries (charged in local currency at the day's exchange rate). Every payment method offers the same 6 credit packs, from $10 for $100 of credit to $99 for $1100.

How do I switch my existing code to faborapi?

Create and confirm your account, generate a sk-fabor- API key, then change your OpenAI client's base URL to https://faborapi.com/v1 and replace its API key with your faborapi key. Choose an exact model ID from GET /v1/models, keep your chat completions request format, and check the documentation for supported parameters before moving production traffic.
