AI
One API for AI models.
Send one request format to multiple AI models, and Badgr handles fallback, usage tracking and cost controls.
One API · Multiple models · Automatic fallback · Pay only for the requests you send
Who it's for
Built for teams calling AI models in production
One request format, with fallback and cost visibility behind it.
Product teams calling AI models
You call one model today and have no plan for the day it starts failing or you want to try another.
One base URL adds retries and a backup model, and swapping models means changing a name, not the integration.
Platform teams controlling AI access
Multiple teams call AI models with no shared routing policy, spend cap or per-request record.
Set the routing policy and cost limit once, and every request logs model, route, latency and cost.
What you get
What Badgr adds to every request
Send the request — Badgr handles the routing, the retries and the record of what it cost.
Fallback-ready routing
Route around provider failures without touching your code.
Request-level receipts
Every request gets an ID, route, latency, model, and cost.
OpenAI-compatible setup
One base URL change, and your existing SDK keeps working.
Spend you can see
Latency and spend are tracked per request in your dashboard.

How it works
How it works
Three steps from signing up to your first routed request.
Create account
Sign up, copy your API key, and add balance — minimum top-up is $5.
Change base URL
Point your OpenAI-compatible SDK at aibadgr.com/v1 and keep everything else the same.
Send first request
Use badgr-auto or name any supported model, then add a backup model whenever you want fallback.

A request, a retry, and a receipt
Change the base URL and API key — your existing OpenAI SDK keeps working.
import OpenAI from "openai";
const client = new OpenAI({
apiKey: process.env.BADGR_API_KEY,
baseURL: "https://aibadgr.com/v1"
});
const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
model: "badgr-auto",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Say hello." }]
});badgr-auto selects a default model automatically. Choose any specific model anytime.
Why AI Badgr
When providers wobble, your product does not have to
Every major model vendor has rough patches: rate limits, timeouts, and degraded performance. AI Badgr sits in front of that volatility with production-minded retries, backoff, and optional backup routing—so a provider incident is not automatically a customer-facing outage.
Retries that respect limits
429s, Retry-After, and transient errors handled so your app does not thrash.
Timeouts and partial outages
When a provider slows or errors, Badgr can back off and route intelligently.
Backup routes
Optional failover so one vendor’s bad day does not become your outage.
Provider incident activity (last 30 days)
Outage hub →Green = calmer periods; yellow = degraded; red = severe failure patterns.
"Calm" measures days without notable public incident patterns. It is not provider uptime.
