Example request

This example uses the published base URL for NVIDIA Build / NIM. Replace MODEL_ID with the model id from that provider’s official docs. We do not guess the id.

import os
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key=os.environ["API_KEY"],
    base_url="https://integrate.api.nvidia.com/v1",
)

resp = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="MODEL_ID",  # copy the model id from the provider's docs
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)

Common questions

Where can I use GLM for free via API?

10 providers in our 13 Nov 2026, 13:36 UTC snapshot name a GLM model: NVIDIA Build / NIM, Runcrate, River AI (River Inference), SenseNova Token Plan, JoinGonka Gateway, Mervex, Lightning AI Model APIs, Mango Inference, NovAI, GonkaRouter. We only list a provider here when that name already appears in our data. Catalogues change, so confirm on the official page before you rely on an entry.

Which of these GLM providers are OpenAI compatible?

10 of the 10 active entries are marked OpenAI compatible in our data: NVIDIA Build / NIM, Runcrate, River AI (River Inference), SenseNova Token Plan, JoinGonka Gateway, Mervex, Lightning AI Model APIs, Mango Inference, NovAI, GonkaRouter. The others are marked no, partial, or Not published — see the table on this page.

Do I need a credit card?

9 active entries in this list say no card is required: NVIDIA Build / NIM, Runcrate, SenseNova Token Plan, JoinGonka Gateway, Mervex, Lightning AI Model APIs, Mango Inference, NovAI, GonkaRouter. Others may ask for a card, a top-up, or do not publish this. Confirm on the sign-up page.

Why do some fields say Not published?

The provider has not published that figure on their public pages, or we could not find it. We never invent quotas, prices or endpoints.

Is this every site that hosts GLM?

No. This page only includes providers that already name GLM in our data file. A gateway may offer the model without that name appearing in our notes, allowance or limits, and we do not guess those catalogues.
