Use Text Generator from AI agents and coding tools
Agents and tools can discover everything from machine-readable files: https://text-generator.io/llms.txt, https://text-generator.io/llms-full.txt, https://text-generator.io/openapi.json and https://api.text-generator.io/v1/models.
- Base URL https://api.text-generator.io/v1 with a Bearer secret
- GET /v1/models returns valid model ids
- POST /v1/chat/completions supports streaming and tool calling on supporting models
- Native REST endpoints for generation, summarization, embeddings, captioning and speech are in the OpenAPI spec
- Use any MCP or agent framework that accepts an OpenAI-compatible base URL
Quick start
curl
curl https://api.text-generator.io/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TEXT_GENERATOR_SECRET" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"model":"text-generator/auto","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Write a haiku about routers"}]}'
Python
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(api_key="YOUR_SECRET", base_url="https://api.text-generator.io/v1")
resp = client.chat.completions.create(
model="text-generator/auto",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Write a haiku about routers"}],
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)
JavaScript
import OpenAI from "openai";
const client = new OpenAI({ apiKey: process.env.TEXT_GENERATOR_SECRET, baseURL: "https://api.text-generator.io/v1" });
const resp = await client.chat.completions.create({
model: "text-generator/auto",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Write a haiku about routers" }],
});
console.log(resp.choices[0].message.content);

FAQ
Is the API OpenAI compatible?
Yes. Point any OpenAI SDK at https://api.text-generator.io/v1 and use your Text Generator secret as the API key. Chat completions, streaming and model listing use the OpenAI request and response format.
How much does it cost?
Cloud plan $19/month or $190/year; pay-as-you-go API credits at $0.01 each; self-hosting the open source stack is free. Model rates are listed per 1M tokens at https://text-generator.io/models.
Can I self-host it?
Yes. The stack is open source at github.com/TextGeneratorio/text-generator.io and can be self-hosted for free.
