# ChatQT

> ChatQT is an OpenAI-compatible API gateway: one API key and wallet for chat completions, embeddings, and audio transcription across many models. Base API URL: https://api.chatqt.com/api/v1 — existing OpenAI SDKs work by changing only the base_url and API key.

Important notes for AI agents:

- The documentation pages below are publicly readable (no login required), but they are client-rendered React. If you cannot execute JavaScript, read https://localhost:3000/llms-full.txt instead — it contains the complete documentation as plain markdown.
- API requests are authenticated with `Authorization: Bearer <API key>`. Users create API keys in the console at https://localhost:3000/dashboard/api-keys (login required).
