Other tools and the API

The three settings

SwisserAI speaks the same API format as OpenAI. Most coding tools, such as Cline, Roo Code, Kilo Code, Continue and Aider, have a provider called OpenAI Compatible or similar. Fill in three things:

• Base URL

  https://ai.swisser.dev/v1

• API key

  Your key from account settings, starting with sws-ai_

• Model

  swisserai-free, or swisserai-premium with a plan

We test with OpenCode, see Work on your server. Other tools follow the same pattern; the field names differ a little from tool to tool.

Model names

• swisserai-free

  Who can use it:Every account
  Context:131,072 tokens
  Longest answer:8,192 tokens

• swisserai-premium

  Who can use it:Accounts with a plan
  Context:262,144 tokens
  Longest answer:65,536 tokens

Context is how much the model can see at once: your task, the files and the chat. If a tool asks for these limits, enter the numbers above.

What API requests cost

Requests with a key use the credits of the account that owns the key, at the same lower rate as the extension. They count toward the same balance as the website. Each key shows its own requests and tokens in the account settings.

Test your key

This lists the models your key can use. Replace the key, or set the environment variable first:

curl https://ai.swisser.dev/v1/models -H "Authorization: Bearer $SWISSERAI_API_KEY"

A working key returns a list with swisserai-free and swisserai-premium. A wrong key returns Invalid API key format or Invalid API key. A first real request:

curl https://ai.swisser.dev/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SWISSERAI_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "swisserai-free", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Write a FiveM command that prints hello."}]}'
