How do I use the Claude Fable 5 API?
Create an ApexApi key, then point your client at https://api.apexapi.dev/v1 and use the model slug. Send a request to /v1/chat/completions with the model slug. The API is OpenAI-compatible, so most OpenAI SDKs work by changing the base URL and key.
Is the Claude Fable 5 API OpenAI-compatible?
Yes. ApexApi exposes Claude Fable 5 through the same OpenAI-compatible interface used across the whole catalog. Swap the base URL and API key and keep your existing code.
How much does Claude Fable 5 cost on ApexApi?
Pay-per-use. See the live price in the Pricing section above. There's no subscription or minimum; you buy credits and pay only for what you call.
Can I switch from Claude Fable 5 to another model later?
Yes. Change a single string (the model slug) to call any other model in the catalog through the same endpoint and key. No re-integration.
