Introduction

What you get

The Dolphy API exposes the same models that power dolphy.chat, behind a clean OpenAI-compatible interface. Drop in the official openai SDK, change the baseURL, and you’re up and running.

Creative chat — dolphy-chat-1, our base conversational model
25+ image generation models — from FLUX 2, Nano Banana 2, GPT Image, Seedream, Lustify, Chroma, and more
Specialty image editing with Seedream 4.5
Wan 2.5 / Wan 2.7 video generation at up to 1080p
Kling v3 motion control to retarget character motion onto a reference video

Quick start

import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  baseURL: "https://dolphy.chat/api/v1",
  apiKey: "dpy_live_...", // get yours at https://dolphy.chat/settings/api-keys
});

const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "dolphy-chat-1",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Write a sci-fi opening line." }],
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://dolphy.chat/api/v1",
    api_key="dpy_live_...",
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="dolphy-chat-1",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Write a sci-fi opening line."}],
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

Billing

API requests draw from the same credit balance you use on dolphy.chat. There is no separate billing system — buy credits at dolphy.chat/credits and they fund both your web usage and your API calls. Members get almost 55% more credits per dollar on every credit purchase. See Pricing for the exact credit cost per endpoint.

Limits

60 chat requests / minute per API key
30 image requests / minute per API key
5 video requests / minute per API key
Up to 10 active API keys per account

Hit one of these and you’ll get a 429 with a Retry-After hint.

What we don’t have (yet)

Webhooks (you poll for video completion)
Per-key cost caps (set Stripe spending limits instead)
Usage analytics dashboard for API customers (coming soon)

If you need any of these, tell us — we prioritize based on what real customers ask for.
