Call it from any OpenAI SDK
Use the official SDK with a custom base URL. The example below is complete — swap the model id to hit a different model in the catalog.
curl https://api.apiraven.com/v1/audio/speech \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $APIRAVEN_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"model": "google/gemini-3.8-flash-tts",
"voice": "alloy",
"input": "Welcome to unified inference.",
"response_format": "mp3"
}' --output speech.mp3Standardized parameters
Parameters behave the same on every backend. Values that cannot be honored are either mapped to the closest equivalent or safely dropped — never silently corrupted.

Using Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS on APIRaven
Which provider actually runs my request?+
APIRaven routes each request across a pool of managed inference backends. The model id, request shape and response are identical no matter which backend serves it — you never manage provider accounts, keys or regions.
Is the API OpenAI-compatible?+
Yes. Point any OpenAI SDK at https://api.apiraven.com/v1 with your APIRaven key. Chat, vision, images, embeddings and audio all follow the OpenAI request and response shapes.
What happens when a backend degrades?+
Requests are retried and failed over automatically before the first token is returned. If a model is temporarily unavailable, the API returns one stable error envelope instead of a provider-specific failure.
How is usage billed?+
Per token for text, per image for generation and per minute for transcription — deducted from your APIRaven balance. Every response includes normalized usage so you can meter cost per request.
