1. Create Your Account

Sign up for a free account at dashboard.conduit.link. No credit card required.

2. Create a Conduit Link

Add your API key and configure your proxy settings:

• Navigate to your project dashboard
• Click "Add Conduit Link"
• Enter your API provider's base URL (e.g., https://api.openai.com/v1)
• Securely add your API key
• Configure rate limits and CORS settings
• Copy your unique proxy URL

3. Use Your Favorite SDK

No special SDK required! Use your API provider's official SDK with your Conduit Link proxy URL:

import OpenAI from 'openai';

const openai = new OpenAI({
  baseURL: 'https://proxy.conduit.link/YOUR-LINK-ID/v1',
  apiKey: 'dummy-key', // Real key is stored in Conduit Link
  defaultHeaders: {
    'X-Access-Token': 'your-access-token',
    // Optional: Add JWT for user-specific rate limiting
    'Authorization': 'Bearer your-user-jwt'
  },
  dangerouslyAllowBrowser: true
});

// Use the SDK normally
const completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'gpt-3.5-turbo',
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello!' }]
});

const response = await fetch('https://proxy.conduit.link/YOUR-LINK-ID/v1/chat/completions', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'X-Access-Token': 'your-access-token',
    // Optional: Add JWT for user-specific rate limiting
    'Authorization': 'Bearer your-user-jwt'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    model: 'gpt-3.5-turbo',
    messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello!' }]
  })
});

const data = await response.json();

Global Rate Limits

Set maximum requests per minute/hour across all users to protect your API quota.

// Configure in dashboard
{
  "globalRateLimit": {
    "requests": 1000,
    "window": "1h"
  }
}

Per-User Rate Limits

Implement fair usage policies with JWT-based user identification.

// Include JWT token in requests
const response = await fetch('https://proxy.conduit.link/YOUR-LINK-ID/v1/chat/completions', {
  headers: {
    'X-Access-Token': 'your-access-token',
    'Authorization': 'Bearer user-jwt-token' // Used for per-user limits
  },
  // ... rest of request
});
