How It Works
Three steps from zero to chatting with AI.
1
Get Your Key
Enter your email, pick a plan, and get an instant API key. No credit card for free tier.
2
Make a Request
Send one simple HTTP request. Pick any model — DeepSeek, Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini — they all work the same way.
3
Get a Response
Get back a standard OpenAI-format response. Use it in OpenClaw, your app, your website — anywhere.
See How Simple It Is
One request. Any model. Here is a cURL example:
# Ask anything to any AI model
curl https://niceguyapi-repo.vercel.app/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"\
-H "X-API-Key: nga_live_..."\
-d '{
"model": "deepseek/deepseek-v3-0324:free",
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
}'# Works with Python too:import requests
res = requests.post(
"https://niceguyapi-repo.vercel.app/v1/chat/completions",
headers={"X-API-Key": "nga_live_..."},
json={"model": "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514",
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]}
)
# Install OpenClaw (requires Node.js)
npm install -g openclaw
# Set your NiceGuyAPI key as the model provider
openclaw config set model.baseUrl https://niceguyapi-repo.vercel.app/v1
openclaw config set model.apiKey nga_live_YOUR_KEY
openclaw config set model.name deepseek/deepseek-v3-0324:free
# Start OpenClaw
openclaw start
Step 2: OpenClaw will now use NiceGuyAPI for all AI requests. You can change the model in the config to any model available on your tier.
💡 Pro and Premium users can set the model to anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514 or openai/gpt-4o for the best experience.
⚠️ Keep your API key secret. Never share it or post it publicly. If someone steals it, they use your request quota.
This returns your current usage, monthly limit, tier info, and available models.
7Use Agent Mode (Pro & Premium)
Agent mode turns the AI into an autonomous assistant that can search the web, read webpages, and do calculations. Perfect for research, current events, and multi-step tasks.
# Enable agent mode with one parameter
curl https://niceguyapi-repo.vercel.app/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "X-API-Key: nga_live_YOUR_KEY" \
-d '{
"model": "openai/gpt-oss-120b:free",
"agent": true,
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "What happened in AI news today? Summarize the top 3 stories."}]
}'# The agent will:# 1. Search the web for "AI news today"# 2. Fetch the top result pages# 3. Synthesize a summary
You can also use the POST /v1/agent endpoint directly for explicit agent calls.
💡 Agent mode works best with GPT-OSS 120B or higher models. Each agent request counts as 1 API call but may use up to 5 internal LLM round-trips.
8Pick the Right Model
Different models are better at different tasks:
Free Tier Models (no credit card — 23+ models):
• deepseek/deepseek-v3-0324:free — Best all-around
• meta-llama/llama-3.3-70b-instruct:free — Great for reasoning
• qwen/qwen3-coder:free — Best for coding
Premium Models (requires Premium plan — top-tier AI):
• anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514 — Best overall AI
• openai/gpt-4o — Great for creative tasks
• google/gemini-2.0-flash — Fast and capable
💡 Start with deepseek/deepseek-v3-0324:free. It is fast, smart, and free. Switch models if you need something specific.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before getting started.
What is NiceGuyAPI?▼
NiceGuyAPI is an AI model gateway. It gives you one API key that works with 23+ AI models — including DeepSeek, Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini, and more. Pro and Premium tiers also include an autonomous AI Agent that can search the web, read webpages, and perform multi-step tasks.
Do I need to know how to code?▼
You need basic computer skills to use the API directly (we provide step-by-step instructions). But you can also use the Try Chat tab on this page to talk to AI without any coding at all. Just enter your email and start chatting.
What does "12 requests per month" mean?▼
Each time you send a message to the AI, that is one request. The free plan gives you 12 messages per month. This is enough to try everything and see if NiceGuyAPI is right for you. For more, Pro gives 40 requests and Premium gives 250 per month.
What is the AI Agent? How does it work?▼
The AI Agent is an autonomous mode (Pro and Premium) that goes beyond simple chat. When you enable Agent mode, the AI can search the web for real-time information, fetch and read webpages, and perform calculations — all autonomously. You give it a goal, it figures out the steps. For example: "Find the latest news about AI and summarize it" — the agent searches, reads, and synthesizes automatically. It uses up to 5 LLM round-trips per request to plan and execute.
Why does Premium have 250 requests?▼
Premium is built for developers and power users who integrate the API into apps, tools, and workflows. At 250 requests per month for $27, you get outstanding value — plus access to Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini, full Agent capabilities, and creation tools (images, songs, apps, games, and hosting).
What is OpenClaw and how do I use it?▼
OpenClaw is a free, open-source AI assistant platform. You install it on your computer and it connects to AI models — like NiceGuyAPI. Think of it as your personal AI assistant that you fully control. Our setup guide walks you through the entire process step by step.
Can I change plans later?▼
Yes! Upgrade or downgrade anytime. When you upgrade, your new request limit kicks in immediately. Payments are handled securely through Stripe.
What happens when I run out of requests?▼
You will get a friendly error message when you hit your limit. You can either wait until your next billing cycle (resets monthly), or upgrade to a higher tier. Need no limits at all? Platinum gives you 99,999 requests.
What payment methods do you accept?▼
We accept all major credit and debit cards through Stripe. Payments are secure and automatic — cancel anytime with no penalties.
What are the context window sizes for each tier?▼
Context window is how much text the AI can remember in a conversation. Free gets 75K, Pro gets 145K, Premium gets 315K, and Platinum gets a massive 750K context window — enough to process entire books, large codebases, or lengthy documents in a single conversation.
What is Platinum? Is it worth it?▼
Platinum ($55/mo) is our ultimate tier for power users who need no limits. You get 99,999 requests per month, the highest rate limits (120/min), and a massive 750K context window. If you are running an AI-powered business, building apps, or need the absolute best performance with no ceilings, Platinum is the one.
Can I get a refund?▼
Since the free tier gives you full access to test the service, there are no refunds. But you can cancel anytime and will not be charged again.
