About HolySheep AI

HolySheep AI is an independent multi-model API access service. It provides a public API base, documented compatibility interfaces, a live model catalog, and setup guidance for developer tools.

Service boundary: HolySheep AI does not claim to be OpenAI, Anthropic, or another model provider, and does not claim an official-provider relationship. Compatibility describes the request and response formats supported by HolySheep routes. Provider and product names belong to their respective owners.

What the service does

A registered user can create a HolySheep API key and use it with the models currently available to that account. One key can cover models listed in the live model catalog, reducing the need to maintain a separate credential in every supported tool. Model availability changes over time, so integrations should copy identifiers from the live catalog instead of relying on a static list or guessing an identifier from a display name.

The public API base is https://api.holysheep.ai. HolySheep publishes direct request examples and SDK configuration guidance in the Tutorial. Current account-facing price information is maintained on the Pricing page. Those live pages take precedence over cached summaries, search snippets, and third-party descriptions.

These interfaces are distinct contracts. Applications should choose the interface expected by their SDK and response parser. Support for ordinary text generation does not imply support for every provider-specific beta field, built-in tool, streaming event, or advanced option. Test required capabilities against the selected HolySheep route and exact model before production use.

Reference request shape

This minimal Chat Completions example uses a placeholder rather than a real credential or model. Select the current model identifier on the model page and store the key in a secret manager or environment variable.

curl https://api.holysheep.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_HOLYSHEEP_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "MODEL_ID_FROM_CATALOG",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]
  }'

For OpenAI-style SDKs, the base URL is commonly https://api.holysheep.ai/v1. For an Anthropic-style SDK, use the HolySheep base documented in the tutorial so that the SDK constructs the versioned Messages path correctly. Raw HTTP clients should use the complete endpoint URL.

CLI and supported operating systems

HolySheep CLI is documented for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It helps configure supported AI developer tools and provides diagnostic workflows. See the current installation and configuration guide and the public @simonyea/holysheep-cli npm package. A public source repository is not linked in these discovery assets.

Before an automated setup, back up any tool configuration that has been customized manually. After setup, make a short request and verify the final endpoint, selected model, response contract, and account usage. Do not commit generated configuration until confirming that it contains no API key. Cross-platform CLI support does not mean that every third-party tool supports automatic setup on every platform; consult the current tutorial for each tool's status.

Authentication and account facts

Keys are created through the registration and account flow. The current public registration material describes a promotional $0.5 registration credit. This is a current promotion rather than a permanent guarantee; confirm the registration page when signing up. How much work a credit funds depends on the selected model, token usage, media usage where applicable, and current prices.

Keep API keys in an operating-system credential store, environment variable, or deployment secret manager. Never place a private key in browser JavaScript, a public repository, an issue, an analytics event, a screenshot, or an email. If a credential is exposed, revoke or replace it. Removing one visible copy does not reliably remove it from logs, repository history, or backups.

Integration principles

• Use the live model catalog as the source for current identifiers and availability.
• Use the live pricing page for current prices and record the retrieval date in published comparisons.
• Keep endpoint, interface, and model selection explicit in application configuration.
• Apply bounded retries only to transient failures; do not retry invalid requests or unsupported features unchanged.
• Set timeouts appropriate to streaming and non-streaming work, and support cancellation.
• Log sanitized error metadata, never authorization headers or secrets.
• Validate application-side tool actions and structured output before using them for business decisions.

Primary technical references

Provider documentation is useful for understanding upstream concepts. The relevant primary references are the OpenAI Responses API reference, OpenAI Chat API reference, and Anthropic Messages API reference. Use HolySheep documentation to determine HolySheep-specific compatibility and routing. Provider documentation alone is not evidence that every provider feature is available through a compatibility service.

Frequently asked questions

Can one HolySheep key call more than one model?

Yes. One key can call models currently available to the account and shown in the HolySheep catalog. This is not a promise that every model is permanently available.

Which interface should an application choose?

Choose the contract the client and parser expect: Responses, Chat Completions, or Messages. Keep separate adapters if the application uses more than one.

Are model prices stored on this page?

No. Prices are time-sensitive. Check the live pricing page and record the date when creating a cost estimate or comparison.

Does compatibility include every built-in provider tool?

No universal claim is made. Test the exact tool, model, and route. Treat an unsupported-feature response as a compatibility boundary, not as a successful execution.

Where are machine-readable facts published?

Start with llms.txt, the full guide, and the AI discovery file. Structured JSON resources are linked from those documents.

How can I contact HolySheep AI?

Email [email protected]. Include the endpoint, model identifier, timestamp, and sanitized error, but never include an API key.
