Does Kimi have an API?

Yes. AI Orbit has verified official evidence that Kimi provides API access. The profile also records official API documentation, so developers can check supported endpoints, authentication and current implementation details at the provider source.

How much does Kimi cost?

Exact rates, billing units, limits and verification dates are shown in the pricing section of this profile rather than compressed into a single potentially misleading price.
