Cut AI API costs by 63-99% with intelligent routing

APICrusher - Cut AI API Costs by 63-99%

Stop bleeding money on AI APIs. APICrusher automatically routes your requests to cheaper models when possible, saving you 63-99% on costs across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and 12+ other providers.

The Problem

You're using GPT-4 for everything. Even for "What's 2+2?" That's like hiring a surgeon to put on a band-aid. We proved companies waste thousands per month on overkill AI models.

The Solution

APICrusher intelligently routes your API calls:

• Simple queries → Cheap models (99% savings)
• Complex tasks → Premium models (when actually needed)
• Duplicate requests → Instant cache (100% savings)

Result: Same quality, 63-99% cheaper.

Installation

pip install apicrusher

Quick Start

1. Get Your Access Key

APICrusher is a paid service ($99/month or $990/year). Get your access key at apicrusher.com.

2. Drop-In Replacement (2 Lines of Code)

# Before: Expensive
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(api_key="your-openai-key")

# After: 63-99% Cheaper
from apicrusher import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
    api_key="your-openai-key",
    apicrusher_key="apc_live_your_key"  # Get at apicrusher.com
)

That's it. Your code stays exactly the same, but now costs 63-99% less.

3. Watch Your Savings

# Everything works identically
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4",  # Automatically routes to gpt-4o-mini when appropriate
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "What's 2+2?"}]
)

# View real-time savings
client.print_savings_summary()
# Output: Total saved: $47.23 | Cache hits: 34% | Avg reduction: 73%

Universal Provider Support

)

# Automatically optimizes across ALL providers
response = client.chat.completions.create(

    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]

Real Examples

Before APICrusher

# You're doing this (expensive)
response = openai.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4",  # $0.03 per 1K tokens
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Format this date: 2024-01-15"}]
)
# Cost: $0.0021 for a simple formatting task

After APICrusher

# Same code, automatic optimization
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4",  # APICrusher routes to gpt-4o-mini
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Format this date: 2024-01-15"}]
)
# Cost: $0.000015 (99.3% savings)
# You write the same code, we handle the optimization

Advanced Configuration

from apicrusher import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    # Required
    api_key="your-openai-key",

    # Optional: Add more providers
    anthropic_api_key="sk-ant-...",
    google_api_key="AIza...",

    redis_url="redis://localhost:6379",
    
    # Optional: Custom complexity threshold (0.0-1.0)
    complexity_threshold=0.3  # Lower = more aggressive optimization
