›What is APIPark?
APIPark is an open-source AI gateway and API developer portal for managing LLM calls in production. It uses an OpenAI-compatible API signature to connect multiple models without changing existing application code. The platform adds load balancing, quotas, monitoring, prompt templates, data masking, access control, and API exposure tools.
