Olava API

Olava offers an OpenAI-compatible chat completions API. You pay only for the tokens you use, with a hard monthly spend cap you control from the console.

What you get

• OpenAI-compatible chat completions at POST /v1/chat/completions, streaming and non-streaming. Existing OpenAI SDK code works by changing the base URL.
• Pure metered pricing — pay per input/output token; no flat fee, no minimum commit.
• A hard monthly spend cap enforced on every request. Service stops the moment your cap is reached; you will never be billed past it within rounding precision.
• A free credit grant at signup that burns down before paid spend.
• A console at console.olava.dev for managing API keys, viewing usage, editing your cap, and managing billing.

Start here

• Get an API key — sign up, finish onboarding, mint your first key.
• Make your first call — curl, Python, and Node examples, streaming and non-streaming.

Concepts

• Authentication — using your API key.
• Rate limits — request rate and how to back off correctly.
• Spend cap — how the cap is enforced and how to recover when you hit it.
• Billing — pricing, free credit, invoices, and failed-payment recovery.
• Errors — every error this API emits and what to do about each one.

API reference

• POST /v1/chat/completions

Account management (API keys, usage, billing, onboarding) happens in the console UI at console.olava.dev.
