Vercel AI Gateway cURL API Setup
Use cURL to smoke-test Vercel AI Gateway before wiring SDK code. Confirm the exact endpoint, model name, and quota in the provider dashboard.
Quick verdict
- Free API: Free gateway experimentation through Vercel account limits; paid gateway/provider billing may apply after trial usage
- Rate limits: Account, project, model, and provider dependent; verify Vercel dashboard before production traffic
- Best model starting point: openai/gpt-4o-mini
- Mainland China access: proxy/relay likely needed

}'Free API and pricing notes
Free gateway experimentation through Vercel account limits; paid gateway/provider billing may apply after trial usage
Vercel AI Gateway unifies multiple model providers and fits Vercel AI SDK/Next.js workflows; the free path is useful for project validation, not guaranteed long-term production quota.
Access and production risk
Relay or proxy may be needed
Mainland China access to Vercel domains, dashboard flows, and upstream providers can be unstable; test the gateway domain, upstream model, DNS/TLS, billing, and fallback before launch.
How to set it up
Create an API key and copy the provider endpoint from official docs.
Export the key into your shell session.
Send a minimal chat completion payload with cURL.
Check status code, JSON body, and rate-limit headers.
Move the tested endpoint into your app or fallback relay.
Vercel AI Gateway production validation table
Use this table before sending real users, scheduled agents, or paid traffic to Vercel AI Gateway. The goal is to validate source freshness, quota behavior, regional access, and fallback needs instead of trusting a stale free-credit claim.
