"The best API is the one you forget you're using. Great developer experience is invisible developer experience."
Every API claims to be "developer-friendly." Few actually are. True developer experience isn't about marketing copy or fancy docs—it's about reducing the friction between intention and implementation to zero. When you think of something, you should be able to build it immediately.
You've experienced it before: 47 configuration options before you can make your first call. OAuth flows that require three browser tabs. Error messages that say "An error occurred" with no additional context. Documentation that was last updated in 2019.
Sign up → Verify email → Create org → Add payment → Generate key → Read 50 pages → Make first call
Sign up → Get key → Make first call
Great developer experience follows a few core principles:
The fastest integration is the one that requires no changes. If you're already using OpenAI's SDK, switching to Infe should be one line:
from openai import OpenAI
# Before
client = OpenAI(api_key="sk-...")
# After - just change the base URL
client = OpenAI(
api_key="your-infe-key",
base_url="https://api.infe.io/v1"
)
# Your existing code works unchanged
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="infe-pulse", # Or keep using "gpt-4"
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
)We don't add features for the sake of features. Every endpoint, every parameter, every response field earns its place by making developers' lives easier.
When something goes wrong, you shouldn't have to guess why. Our error responses tell you exactly what happened, why it happened, and how to fix it.
// Bad error
{ "error": "Invalid request" }
// Our error
{
"error": {
"message": "Model 'gpt-5' not found. Did you mean 'infe-pulse' or 'infe-titan'?",
"type": "invalid_request_error",
"param": "model",
"code": "model_not_found",
"suggestion": "See available models at infe.io/models"
}
}The best APIs disappear. They don't fight you. They don't surprise you. They don't make you read through documentation for simple tasks. They just work.
That's what we're building.
