Security tips:

• Do not expose your API key in browser-side code.
• Do not commit it to GitHub.
• Store it in environment variables.
• Use separate keys for testing and production.
• Set quota limits whenever possible.

Step 3: Configure Base URL

Use OpenAI-compatible settings:

Provider: OpenAI-compatible
Base URL: https://api.lowertoken.com/v1
API Key: sk-your-lowertoken-key
Model: choose from your dashboard model list

curl example

curl https://api.lowertoken.com/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-your-lowertoken-key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "deepseek-v4-flash-202605",
    "messages": [
      {"role": "user", "content": "Write a short welcome email for a SaaS product."}
    ]
  }'

Python example

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="sk-your-lowertoken-key",
    base_url="https://api.lowertoken.com/v1",
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="deepseek-v4-flash-202605",
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "Summarize this product idea in 5 bullets."}
    ],
)

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

JavaScript example

import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.LOWERTOKEN_API_KEY,
  baseURL: "https://api.lowertoken.com/v1",
});

const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "deepseek-v4-flash-202605",
  messages: [
    { role: "user", content: "Generate 10 landing page headline ideas." },
  ],
});

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