## Direct API Call to AIHubMix

<Note>
  All examples below use the primary domain `https://aihubmix.com`. If you run into access issues, replace the request URL with the backup domain `https://api.inferera.com` — all other parameters stay the same.
</Note>

<Tip>
  Replace `<AIHUBMIX_API_KEY>` with your [AIHubMix Key](https://aihubmix.com/token). Please note the key's validity period and usage limits.
</Tip>

For available `model` options, please check the [Model Gallery](https://aihubmix.com/models). Simply copy and paste the model name to use it.
