Overview / Description
deAPI is a unified REST API for open-source generative AI models that lets developers generate images, synthesize speech, transcribe audio and video, and animate images into video clips through a single endpoint — without managing GPU infrastructure.
The API aggregates models including FLUX.1 Schnell and Z-Image Turbo for image generation, Whisper for transcription, Kokoro for text-to-speech across 20+ languages, LTX Video for image-to-video animation, and BGE M3 for embeddings. Text-to-speech is priced at $0.77 per 1 million characters; image generation starts at $0.00119 per 512×512 image; video transcription is $0.021 per hour of content. The platform claims up to 20× lower costs than OpenAI equivalents.
New accounts receive $5 in free credits with no credit card required. The API can process video URLs from YouTube, TikTok, Twitch, and X directly without file download and re-upload. The platform reports 8,000+ active developers and greater than 99% uptime.
Best for: developers and SaaS teams that need access to multiple open-source AI modalities — image, voice, video, transcription — without managing separate provider accounts or GPU infrastructure.
