FAQs
Which software, websites, and SDKs are compatible with API2D?
Any software, website, or SDK utilizing the OpenAI interface and supporting custom API domains can use API2D. Detailed usage guides are available on the 'Compatible Applications' page after login.
How does API2D handle billing and charges?
API2D bills using points (P), with prices roughly 1.5 times the official API provider rates, except for specific recharge tiers. For example, 1P equals approximately 133.3 GPT-3.5 input tokens. Use the point calculator to estimate costs.
What AI models and interfaces does API2D support?
API2D supports most OpenAI models, Claude, Stability AI, vector databases, and AzureTTS. Detailed information is available in the API documentation.
Which payment methods does API2D accept?
Payments can be made via WeChat, Alipay, Chinese bank cards, and credit cards through Stripe.
Why do GPT-4 chat responses via API2D differ from ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is a user interface with pre-configured prompts and tools. The official API provides a simplified, core model without these enhancements, so responses may differ. You can add retrieval and tools through API settings and agent configurations.
Why doesn’t GPT-4 know it is GPT-4?
GPT-4's training data stops before September 2021. Without retraining, it cannot update its knowledge automatically.
What happens when points expire?
Points are valid for 180 days after the last recharge. To extend validity, simply recharge a small amount. Expired points aren’t immediately cleared but will be during system updates or maintenance.
What should I do if points don't update after payment?
Points usually update shortly after payment. If not, refresh your account or contact customer support via WeChat or email for assistance.
Why do multiple requests return identical responses?
API2D caches responses to identical requests. To avoid cache, add the header 'x-api2d-no-cache: 1'. Cached responses do not deduct additional points and are stored for 24 hours.
How can I tell if a response is cached?
Non-streaming responses include a cache attribute; streaming responses show an 'X-Api2d-Cache' header. If content remains the same after disabling cache, responses are from the cache.
