API URL
The API URL is the endpoint your application sends requests to.
What the API URL Does
The API URL tells your application where to send requests. After VLX FLUX receives the request, it processes it based on the API key, request path, and platform rules.
A typical request flow looks like this:
text
Client App -> VLX FLUX API URL -> OpenAI / Claude / Other Upstream ModelsBase URL
When integrating SDKs or API tools, you will often see fields such as base_url, baseURL, or API_BASE_URL. These usually refer to the base API URL.
Example:
text
https://api.vlxflux.io/v1Request Path
The base URL is usually combined with a specific request path, for example:
text
https://api.vlxflux.io/v1/chat/completionsWhere:
https://api.vlxflux.io/v1is the base API URL/chat/completionsis the specific request path
Integration Checklist
- Make sure the protocol is correct, such as
https://. - Make sure the version suffix like
/v1is present when required. - Confirm whether your SDK expects a full endpoint or only the base URL.
- Avoid appending
/v1twice.
FAQ
Why does my request fail when using the VLX FLUX URL?
Common reasons include an incorrect API URL, invalid API key, duplicated path segments, unsupported model names, or network access issues. Start with a minimal request to verify connectivity.
