Frequently asked questions
Quick answers, dig into linked guides when you need code.
What request format does RodiumAi use?
OpenAI-compatible chat uses the JSON fields in POST /v1/chat/completions (base URL https://api.rodiumai.io/v1). Claude also works via Anthropic Messages at https://api.rodiumai.io. Start from the Quickstart for ready-to-copy examples.
Can I use the Anthropic SDK?
Yes. Point the official Anthropic client at https://api.rodiumai.io (no /v1 — the SDK adds /v1/messages). See the Anthropic Messages guide and the Quickstart Anthropic section. Claude-first today; same RODI billing as OpenAI mode.
How do API keys look?
Keys issued from the dashboard use the RodiumAi prefix rd_sk_…. Use Authorization: Bearer for OpenAI clients, or x-api-key / Bearer for the Anthropic SDK. Rotate keys from Billing / API Keys when staff changes.
What is a RODI?
RODI is the internal prepaid unit for inference. Charges accrue based on tokens and published per-model rates in Pricing and returned on usage payloads.
Can I pay with Mobile Money?
Yes, top-ups are designed around the methods common across our launch markets. Purchases reconcile to your RODI balance for API usage.
How are rate limits applied?
Limits depend on account tier and platform health, treat 429 responses as signals to backoff with jitter. Operational numbers may evolve; watch status channels and dashboards.
