Intro

One API is a self-hosted LLM API gateway: unify OpenAI/Claude/Gemini/DeepSeek endpoints, manage keys, and deploy via Docker in minutes (33.7k★).

Best for: Developers who want one endpoint for multiple providers, with centralized key management and predictable routing for agents

Works with: Docker (recommended), optional MySQL, and downstream clients that can point to a single OpenAI-compatible base URL

Setup time: 10-30 minutes

Main

Multi-provider gateway: positioned as a unified API layer for many model providers, so agents can talk to “one base URL” instead of custom clients per vendor.
Docker-first deployment: the README provides runnable docker run commands (SQLite and MySQL variants) and a Compose option.
Operational knobs: documents env vars and multi-node notes (session secret, sync frequency, Redis) for production-ish usage.
Good for agent fleets: centralizes key/quotas so you can rotate credentials without touching every agent or tool.

FAQ

Do I need MySQL?: No. The README shows an SQLite-based docker run; use MySQL when you need multi-node or stronger persistence.
How do I upgrade safely?: The README suggests a watchtower-based update command; test on a staging instance first.
What is the first integration?: Point one client at the gateway base URL and verify a single model call before migrating everything.
