Get started with AI Gateway automatically

AI Gateway

You can now start using AI Gateway with a single API call — no setup required. Use default as your gateway ID, and AI Gateway creates one for you automatically on the first request.

To try it out, create an API token with AI Gateway - Read, AI Gateway - Edit, and Workers AI - Read permissions, then run:

Terminal window
curl -X POST https://gateway.ai.cloudflare.com/v1/$CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID/default/compat/chat/completions \
  --header "cf-aig-authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
    "model": "workers-ai/@cf/meta/llama-3.3-70b-instruct-fp8-fast",
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "What is Cloudflare?"
      }
    ]
  }'

AI Gateway gives you logging, caching, rate limiting, and access to multiple AI providers through a single endpoint. For more information, refer to Get started.
