Developer API for Grok models covering text, multimodal, voice, and vision
xAI's developer platform provides API access to Grok models for text generation, reasoning, coding, and multimedia capabilities. It supports OpenAI-compatible SDK integrations, function calling, structured outputs, real-time voice, and image or video generation. Developers can use it to build AI-driven applications with large context windows and integrated live search tools.
What it's for
- Integrate Grok into web or backend apps using OpenAI-compatible SDKs
- Run structured data extraction and reasoning tasks with function calling
- Generate images and videos via programmatic API prompts
- Build real-time voice agents with speech-to-speech and text-to-speech endpoints
Features
- Access to Grok text and reasoning models with up to 500k context
- OpenAI SDK compatibility using custom base URLs
- Built-in tool calling including web search and X search
- Structured outputs and JSON schema enforcement
- Imagine API for image and video generation and editing
- Voice API supporting speech-to-speech, text-to-speech, and transcription
- Batch API, async requests, and prompt caching
Pricing
Paid. Pay-as-you-go per token, image, or audio second (e.g. Grok 4.7 at $2/1M input, $6/1M output tokens)
