Why SkillBoss? One API for 697+ AI Endpoints

The Problem

Building with AI today means managing a mess of different services:

The SkillBoss Solution

One API key. One balance. 697+ endpoints. 63 vendors.

# Before: Managing multiple APIs
openai = OpenAI(api_key=os.environ["OPENAI_KEY"])
anthropic = Anthropic(api_key=os.environ["ANTHROPIC_KEY"])
elevenlabs = ElevenLabs(api_key=os.environ["ELEVENLABS_KEY"])
stripe = Stripe(os.environ["STRIPE_KEY"])
sendgrid = SendGrid(os.environ["SENDGRID_KEY"])
# ... and 15 more

# After: One line with SkillBoss
client = OpenAI(base_url="https://api.skillboss.co/v1", api_key="sk_one_key")
# Access all 697+ endpoints instantly

Key Benefits

1. Unified Billing — One Balance for Everything

Add credit once, use it across all 697+ endpoints. No more juggling multiple subscriptions.

• Pay-as-you-go — no minimum commitments
• Credits never expire — unlike monthly subscriptions that reset
• Transparent pricing — see per-call cost for every endpoint before you call it
• $2 free credit on signup, no credit card required

2. OpenAI-Compatible — Works with Existing Code

Drop-in replacement for OpenAI API. Just change base_url:

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.skillboss.co/v1",  # Only change
    api_key="sk_your_skillboss_key"
)

# Now access Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, and 680+ more
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="claude-4-5-sonnet",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
)

import OpenAI from 'openai';

const client = new OpenAI({
  baseURL: 'https://api.skillboss.co/v1',  // Only change
  apiKey: 'sk_your_skillboss_key'
});

curl https://api.skillboss.co/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_your_key" \
  -d '{"model": "gpt-5", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]}'

3. Built for AI Coding Agents

SkillBoss is designed for programmatic, agent-first access:

• Skills Pack — one-click install for Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and 20+ tools
• AI-readable docs — llms.txt, agent.json, MCP manifest for agent discovery
• Model switching — change model per request without any reconfiguration
• Budget monitoring — agents can query their own spend via API

4. Everything You Need, Not Just Model APIs
