One API key for Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, FLUX and Veo

#ai #python #llm #api

LazySusan has an API and a Python SDK that put chat, image and video models behind one key and one prepaid balance. Switching models means changing one string.

from lazysusan import LazySusan

client = LazySusan()  # reads LAZYSUSAN_API_KEY

reply = client.chat.create(
    model="anthropic/claude-sonnet-5-5",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Summarise this in two lines: ..."}],
)
print(reply.text)
print(reply.usage.cost_credits)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

What it covers, per the docs:

  • Streaming, tool calling, JSON output and image input
  • Async video generation
  • Token usage and credit cost on every response
  • Per-key monthly budgets, model allowlists and expiry dates
  • Metadata tags so you can filter usage by project or feature

The Python SDK has zero dependencies, is typed, and runs on Python 3.9+.

Install: pip install lazysusan

Disclosure: I built this.
