Getting started
Choose the right Zorveus integration path for your architecture and business model.
Zorveus provides three core integration models depending on who funds the AI usage and how credentials are managed.
Choose your integration mode
| Business Goal | Integration Mode | Funding Source | Key Credential |
|---|---|---|---|
| Business funds its own product | Business Quickstart | Business Organization Wallet | API Key (zrv_...) |
| Business uses existing provider credentials | BYOK Quickstart | Upstream Provider (Direct) | API Key + Stored Provider Secret |
| End-user funds third-party app | OAuth App Quickstart | User's Personal/Company Wallet | Scoped OAuth Token (zrv_...) |
Credential terminology
Understanding credential types ensures you use the correct secret in each context:
- API Key (
zrv_...): Secret token used inAuthorization: Bearer zrv_...against the model gateway (https://api.zorveus.com/v1or native wire endpoints). Used to execute model inference and inspect connection spend. Shown only once upon creation. - Service Key (
zrv_svc_...): Server-to-server credential for supported/product-users/by-external-idoperations athttps://api.zorveus.com; never expose this key in browser code and do not pass it to inference endpoints. - Client ID & Client Secret (
zrv_client_.../zrv_client_secret_...): Credentials for registered OAuth applications to authenticate during PKCE token exchanges. - Provider Credential: Encrypted upstream API keys (e.g. OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini) stored in Zorveus for Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) routing.
Production endpoints
Always use production endpoints in deployed applications:
Inference Base URL: https://api.zorveus.com/v1
Management Base URL: https://api.zorveus.com
OAuth Authorize URL: https://app.zorveus.com/oauth/authorizeQuickstart paths
Use Integrate an organization-funded product for the full workflow, including attribution, plan keys, allowances, payments, and errors. Use Integrate with a coding agent for a copyable prompt and source links.
Business Quickstart
Send your first request with an OpenAI-compatible client or Zorveus SDK.
Product-User Metering
Attribute requests to specific end users and apply credit grants without extra database setup.
Bring Your Own Key (BYOK)
Attach your existing provider accounts to Zorveus for cost tracking and unified routing.
OAuth PKCE Flow
Implement secure OAuth 2.0 PKCE login so users pay for their own inference in your app.
