Baseten Python API Setup

Use this page when you need a working Python starting point for Baseten, then validate quota and model names in the official console before production.

Quick verdict

  • Free API: Trial credits / startup credits may be available after signup or sales contact
  • Rate limits: Deployment, hardware, and plan dependent
  • Best model starting point: Llama 3.1 / 3.3 deployments
  • Mainland China access: proxy/relay likely needed

Provider fit matrix

Best fit Fast provider evaluation, prototypes, and fallback routing
Watch out Free credits and rate limits can change without warning
Production fallback Keep at least one compatible backup provider before shipping

Production readiness checklist

Quota gate Start inside Trial credits / startup credits may be available after signup or sales contact; log usage before adding retries or batch jobs.
No-card check Try the free path first, then confirm whether billing is required for API keys, higher RPM, or production endpoints.
Regional smoke test Run signup, dashboard, DNS, TLS, and first API call checks from mainland China before launch.
Source freshness Snapshot date: 2026-05-31; official quota and pricing can change without notice.

Python setup snapshot

Start with the smallest possible chat completion, then move the key to your server-side secret manager before production.

import requests

# Replace URL and token with your Baseten deployment endpoint.
response = requests.post(
    'https://model-xxxx.api.baseten.co/development/predict',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Api-Key {BASeten_API_KEY}'},
    json={'prompt': 'Write one sentence about model deployment.'},
    timeout=60,
)
print(response.json())

Free API and pricing notes

Trial credits / startup credits may be available after signup or sales contact

Baseten is more of a production model deployment platform than a simple public model directory; free trials must be confirmed in the dashboard or with sales.

Access and production risk

Relay or proxy may be needed

Mainland China access and GPU-region latency require testing; for China-facing apps, prepare OpenLLMAPI, your own relay, or local inference fallbacks.

How to set it up

1

Create or locate your provider API key in the official dashboard.

2

Install the provider SDK or requests dependency shown in the example.

3

Set the API key in an environment variable instead of hard-coding secrets.

4

Run a small Baseten chat completion with Llama 3.1 / 3.3 deployments.

5

Watch free credits, RPM/TPM limits, response shape, and error messages before scaling.

FAQ

Does Baseten have a free API?

Yes. Current yangmao.ai record: Trial credits / startup credits may be available after signup or sales contact. Rate limit note: Deployment, hardware, and plan dependent.

Is Baseten OpenAI-compatible?

This snapshot uses a provider-specific OpenAI SDK example. If your app requires one stable OpenAI-compatible endpoint, use an aggregator or relay after checking Baseten docs.

Can I use Baseten from mainland China?

Baseten may need a proxy or relay from mainland China. Test latency and signup before production.

What should I do when Baseten credits run out?
