AI Cost Board
Back to FeaturesProvider Integrations

One integration layer for every model provider

Standardize authentication, routing, and usage tracking across providers while keeping flexibility for each team.

Why teams choose this

A single proxy layer means one telemetry schema, one control point, and consistent governance.

Built for production

Isolate keys per project, enable or disable providers instantly, and keep rollout risk under control.

How it works

Proxy-based integration in 4 simple steps

AI Cost Board uses a proxy architecture. Your app sends requests to one AI Cost Board endpoint, we forward them 1:1 to the original provider, and track cost, tokens, latency, and errors in real time.

1. Create project

Create a project in AI Cost Board and copy the project API key.

2. Add provider keys

In Settings, connect OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini keys for that project.

3. Update base URL

Replace direct provider base URLs with AI Cost Board proxy endpoints.

4. Send requests

Keep calling your SDK normally and see metrics appear in dashboard + request logs.

OpenAI proxy example

const openai = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.AICOSTBOARD_API_KEY,
  baseURL: 'https://api.aicostboard.com/api/openai'
});

What AI Cost Board adds automatically

  • Request-level usage + cost tracking
  • Latency and error telemetry
  • Budget and alert enforcement
  • Centralized analytics across providers

Rollout strategy

Start with one provider connection per project, then add fallback providers gradually. Use traffic splits during rollout to compare cost and latency before full migration.

Security posture

Provider keys are isolated at project level. Disable compromised connections immediately and rotate keys without changing your app-side integration pattern.

Migration timeline

Week 1

Connect primary provider and validate auth + request success.

Week 2

Add fallback provider and compare latency + cost profiles.

Week 3

Route partial traffic and monitor error behavior.

Week 4

Finalize routing policy and publish runbook.

FAQ

How does the provider integration layer work?

AI Cost Board uses a proxy-based integration layer so requests are forwarded to the original provider while telemetry is captured for cost, tokens, latency, and errors.

Do I need separate code paths for each provider?

The goal is to keep one consistent integration surface while preserving provider flexibility and project-level configuration.

Can I monitor multiple providers in one dashboard?

Yes. Provider integrations feed into unified dashboards, request logs, and cost analytics for cross-provider comparisons.

Is this only for cost tracking?

No. The integration layer also supports request logging, latency/error monitoring, governance, and provider routing workflows.
