​
1. How do I get access to the deAPI panel?

Register or log in (also via Google OAuth) and after authentication you will automatically gain access to the Control Panel, where you can directly create an API key and get access the full capabilities of the platform.

​
2. How can I get my API key?

Simply sign up or log in, then navigate to your Dashboard → Settings → API Keys and click “Create new secret key” to instantly generate your API key.

​
3. Do I need to fund my account before using the API?

No. Upon registration, you receive a $5 bonus to get started immediately with Basic rate limits. You do not need to make a payment to start testing. Once you make any payment (top-up), your account automatically upgrades to Premium, unlocking the 300 RPM limit and unlimited daily requests.

​
4. How is authentication handled?

Every API request requires an Authorization header with your personal token: 
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

​
5. How do I retrieve the results of my tasks?

After submitting a task, you’ll receive a request_id. Use this ID with the Get Results endpoint (GET /api/v1/client/request-status/{request_id}) to fetch your generated image, video, audio, or transcription.

​
6. Are there any rate limits?

Yes. The limits depend on your account type:
  • Basic (Free): Designed for testing. Limits are restrictive, ranging from 1 to 10 RPM (Requests Per Minute) depending on the endpoint, with daily caps.
  • Premium: Activated by any available payment. Offers a unified high limit of 300 RPM across all endpoints with unlimited daily requests. If you exceed these limits, you’ll receive a 429 Too Many Requests response. For High Volume Production requirements beyond Premium limits, please contact support.

​
7. Can I choose between different AI models?

Yes. Visit the Model Selection endpoint to browse available models, or check the Models page for a complete list. You can specify the desired model using the model parameter when making API requests.

The integration uses standard HTTP Request nodes with Bearer token authentication. See the n8n Integration documentation for a complete step-by-step guide with example workflows.

​

13. What should I do if I get an error?

Check the error code and make sure:
  • 401 — Your API key is valid
  • 403 — Your account has sufficient permissions
  • 429 — You haven’t exceeded rate limits
