API Starter
What you bought
API Starter is metered API access to ETHRAEON governance infrastructure (Governance-as-a-Service), a monthly subscription at $49 / month on the pricing page. On checkout you receive:
- A live API key (an
ek_live_key) shown on your account page, usable immediately. - Governed chat on a frontier model, each call evidence-chained.
- Voice-to-text transcription.
- Image generation.
- Metered governance API and evidence records.
- Use in the VESPA desktop app with the same key.
How access is delivered
Hosted access through your ETHRAEON account and a license key. You do not install anything to use the API; the optional VESPA desktop app and SDKs use the same key.
Activate
- On the pricing page, choose API Starter and complete Stripe checkout (Subscribe).
- When payment clears you are redirected to
account.ethraeon.ai/claim, which activates your entitlement and takes you to your account page where the key is displayed.
First run
Console: open whispernet.ethraeon.ai, paste your key once, and use the Chat, Image, and Voice-to-text tabs.
REST API: send your key as a bearer token to the endpoints in the API Reference; the machine-readable contract is the OpenAPI 3.1 specification.
SDK (optional): pip install ethraeon-sdk (Python 3.10+) or npm install @ethraeon/sdk (Node.js 18+).
Core usage
Validate agent actions, generate evidence records, and enforce deterministic governance compliance through the REST API, the console, or the VESPA app. Every call is evidence-chained.
Limits and quotas
Each tier is metered. Your live quota (limit and amount used) is shown on your account page and returned with each console and API call, so you always know where you stand. Starter includes 10,000 turns per month. The subscription renews automatically each month.
Cancellation, refund, export
Manage or cancel the subscription from the Stripe customer portal linked in your billing confirmation email. Refunds are handled through support. Your evidence records stay queryable from your account while the entitlement is active.
