Question 1

What is SarangAI and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

SarangAI is a unified API gateway for AI inference. You send requests to one OpenAI-compatible endpoint, choose an available model, and SarangAI routes the request to the upstream provider.

Question 2

Is it 100% compatible with the official OpenAI SDK (Python and Node.js)?

Accepted Answer

SarangAI follows the OpenAI Chat Completions request and response format, so the official Python and Node.js SDKs work by changing the base URL and API key. Provider-specific features may not be available on every model, so check the API documentation before production use.

Question 3

How does credit balance and flat-rate billing work?

Accepted Answer

Top-ups add prepaid credits to your balance. Each successful API request deducts a flat 0.50 credit. Your dashboard shows the current balance and usage history.

Question 4

What happens when my credit balance reaches zero (HTTP 402)?

Accepted Answer

New requests are rejected with HTTP 402 Payment Required until you add more credits. Existing account data and API keys remain available after a top-up.

Question 5

How do I top up my balance using local payment channels?

Accepted Answer

Sign in, open Wallet, choose a top-up package, and complete payment through the available Midtrans local payment channels. After confirmation, the credited balance appears in your account.

Question 6

What AI models are available and how do I query them?

Accepted Answer

Open the Models catalog or call GET /api/gateway/v1/models with your API key. Pass the returned model ID in the model field of a chat completion request.

Question 7

How do I use SarangAI from the terminal?

Accepted Answer

Install our official CLI via npm install -g sarangai-cli, run sarang login with your API key, and query models directly using sarang run.
