Inference Overview
WiLine Edge Cloud Inference gives you a single endpoint to run large language models,
generate embeddings, transcribe audio, and synthesize speech. The API is fully
OpenAI-compatible — any SDK or tool that works with OpenAI works here unchanged, by
pointing base_url at https://inference.wiline.com/v1.
Open the Overview
After logging in to the WiLine Edge Cloud:
- In the left sidebar, expand Inference.
- Click Overview.
You'll land on a page with four areas: the Start building quickstart, three action cards (create a key, code examples, playground), the Most popular models list, and a link to all model endpoints.

Figure 1: The Inference Overview — the Start building quickstart, the create-key / code-examples / playground cards, the Most popular models list, and the link to all model endpoints.
Before you start
You need an API key to authenticate every request. Keys are account-scoped and give access to every model on your endpoint.
Go to API Keys to create one, then save it as an environment variable:
export WEC_API_KEY="your-key-here"
Use a separate key per app or environment (dev, staging, production) so you can rotate or revoke one without affecting the others.
Make your first request

- cURL
- Python
curl https://inference.wiline.com/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $WEC_API_KEY" \

-d '{
"model": "deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Pro",
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]

# pip install openai
import os
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
base_url="https://inference.wiline.com/v1",
api_key=os.environ["WEC_API_KEY"],
)
resp = client.chat.completions.create(
model="deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Pro",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)
Available endpoints
The API exposes 7 endpoints covering chat, text completion, embeddings, audio transcription, speech synthesis, and model discovery. See the API Reference for the full interactive list — parameters, request schemas, response schemas, and a live request builder for every endpoint.
