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:

  1. In the left sidebar, expand Inference.
  2. 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.

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

Base URL: https://inference.wiline.com/v1

curl https://inference.wiline.com/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $WEC_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"model": "deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Pro",
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
}'

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.
