Questions before your first request

The model ID, request format and credit rules to check before connecting your application.

Discuss your requirements
What are the setup steps?

Sign up in the console, create a key, and configure your server's OpenAI SDK with https://api.indicstack.ai/v1 and your IndicStack key.

Which model ID should I use first?

Use qwen38-27b for the live Qwen3.8 27B. It supports text, image input, tool calling and 262K context.

Can I test with free credit?

New accounts receive ₹2,000 in free credit, valid for 15 days. Purchased credit never expires.

What limits apply to Pro and Team?

Unlimited Pro: ₹2,499/month + GST for unlimited tokens on Unlimited models, ₹500 frontier credit/month, 2 requests at once, 60 requests per minute and 1 API key. Unlimited Team: ₹9,999/month + GST for unlimited tokens on Unlimited models, ₹2,500 frontier credit/month, 8 requests at once, 200 requests per minute and up to 10 API keys. Fair use: after very heavy daily use, requests move to a slower queue instead of stopping.

What happens when a request uses the last of my credit?

Pay-as-you-go calls stop when your prepaid wallet reaches zero. Top up before making further pay-as-you-go calls. Paid packages still include unlimited tokens on Unlimited models.

How should I choose a model for the task?

Compare use cases and inputs in the catalog. Coding, agents, reasoning and vision filters help narrow the selection; check availability before making calls.

Do I need to change SDKs to use India‑hosted inference?

The API uses the OpenAI chat completions format. India‑hosted models run on GPUs in India. Global models run outside India on partner infrastructure; check the hosting label for the route you select.

How can I compare per-token cost with a monthly plan?

On Qwen3.8 27B, pay ₹21 per million input tokens and ₹190 per million output tokens, before 18% GST. The pricing calculator estimates a token workload so you can compare it with Pro or Team.
