# APIXO Documentation

> Documentation for building with APIXO's generation and LLM APIs

APIXO gives you one API key and unified access to image, video, audio, and LLM APIs.

Use this documentation to understand the platform, connect a model after trying it in the playground, and move your integration into production.

## How APIXO is organized

| Area                 | Use it for                                   | Main pattern                                  |
| -------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| Generation APIs      | Image, video, and audio generation           | Submit a task, then poll or receive a webhook |
| LLM Gateway          | Claude, OpenAI, and Gemini compatible calls  | Change the base URL and API key               |
| Account & Operations | Balance, routing, errors, and best practices | Configure keys and operate reliably           |

## First-time setup

1. Create an APIXO account.
2. Get an API key from [Dashboard -> API Keys](https://apixo.ai/dashboard/api-keys).
3. Choose a model or compatible LLM API.
4. Copy the quickstart request and replace `YOUR_API_KEY`.

## Common next steps

* If you came from a model playground, open that model page under [Generation APIs](/models).
* If you are configuring a coding tool or app, start with [Configure Third-party Apps](/llm/third-party-apps).
* If you need endpoint details, use [Generate Task](/api-reference/generate-task), [Status Task](/api-reference/status-task), and [Webhooks](/api-reference/webhooks).
