What is NewAPI?

NewAPI is an open-source AI API gateway that exposes a single OpenAI-compatible API to connect 30+ upstream providers, including OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), Google Gemini, XAI (Grok), Azure OpenAI and AWS Bedrock.

It provides a self-hosted control panel for managing model routing, channel-based mapping, load-balancing weights, priority failover and multi-vendor routing without application code changes.

Centralized API key management issues per-user keys with configurable quotas, rate limits and group access while storing upstream credentials server-side.

Built-in usage logging and monitoring capture model, token counts, latency and status for per-user and per-channel consumption visibility.

Deployments support Docker or standalone binaries and are compatible with SQLite, MySQL and PostgreSQL to keep data on customer infrastructure.

Common use cases include team platforms, internal tools, public products and OpenAI-compatible migrations that require unified access, quota control, usage visibility and multi-supplier cost tracking.
