Token estimation API
Before sending a request, you can use the Token Estimation API to estimate how many tokens the call will consume — useful for cost control.
Pass the same messages format as a Chat Completion request, and the API will return the estimated token count.
Balance query API

Include your API Key in the request header to retrieve your available balance.
