  title: SecureAI External API
  description: >
    SecureAI External API provides AI chat completion and image generation
    capabilities with knowledge base retrieval, 

    security policies, and comprehensive usage tracking. This API is designed
    for external developers 

    and integrations using API key authentication.


    ## Key Features

    - **RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)**: Automatically search knowledge
    bases for relevant context

    - **Multi-Model Support**: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, and other AI
    models

    - **Model Redundancy & Failover**: Caller-defined failover chains (primary +
    fallbacks) with per-attempt timeouts

    - **OpenAI-Compatible Endpoint**: Point any OpenAI SDK at `/api/external/v1`
    — no code changes

    - **Image Generation**: Generate and edit images using Google Gemini 2.5
    Flash Image

    - **Speech-to-Speech (S2S)**: Real-time voice conversations using OpenAI
    Realtime API with WebRTC

    - **Security Policies**: SMLTP policy enforcement, per-call Prompt Shield,
    and signed compliance receipts

    - **Usage Tracking**: Comprehensive usage monitoring, self-service quota,
    and rate limiting

    - **Knowledge Base Integration**: Access to personal and shared knowledge
    bases

    - **User Management**: Complete user, group, and role management
    capabilities

    - **Audit Logging**: Comprehensive activity and security audit logs


    ## Authentication

    All endpoints (except health check) require API key authentication using
    Bearer token:

    ```

    Authorization: Bearer sk-your-api-key-here

    ```


    ## Billing and Usage

    By default, API requests are billed to the user account that owns the API
    key. You can specify 

    a different user to bill by including the `user_id` parameter in your
    request. This allows for:

    - Multi-tenant applications with per-user billing

    - Flexible completion limit management

    - Per-user "Usage by Model" settings


    ## Rate Limits

    - Default: 60 requests per minute, 1000 requests per hour

    - Daily limits: 100 requests (configurable)

    - Monthly limits: 10,000 requests (configurable)
