Provider: Moonshot AI

Call Moonshot AI models through Respan Gateway with unified logs, cost, and latency.
This page is for Respan LLM Gateway users.

Use Respan Gateway to call Moonshot AI models (kimi-k2, moonshot-v1-128k, and the rest of the Kimi family) while keeping unified observability (logs, cost, latency, reliability) in Respan.

Quick setup

1

Get a Respan API key

Sign up and create a key on the API keys page.

Send your first request

Pick the integration that matches your stack. The base URL is https://api.respan.ai/api and the only key needed is your RESPAN_API_KEY.

Moonshot is OpenAI-compatible. Point the OpenAI SDK at the Respan gateway and call any Moonshot model.

1from openai import OpenAI
2
3client = OpenAI(
4 api_key="YOUR_RESPAN_API_KEY",
5 base_url="https://api.respan.ai/api",
6)
7
8response = client.chat.completions.create(
9 model="moonshot/kimi-k2",
10 messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello, Kimi!"}],
11)
12print(response.choices[0].message.content)

More integrations

Moonshot models work with every Respan gateway integration:

Switch models

Change the model parameter to call any supported model through the same client. Use the moonshot/ prefix to disambiguate when routing across providers. Browse the full list on the Models page.

1client.chat.completions.create(model="moonshot/kimi-k2", messages=messages)
2client.chat.completions.create(model="moonshot/moonshot-v1-128k", messages=messages)
3client.chat.completions.create(model="moonshot/moonshot-v1-32k", messages=messages)
4client.chat.completions.create(model="openai/gpt-5.5", messages=messages)
5client.chat.completions.create(model="anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5", messages=messages)

Use your own Moonshot AI key (BYOK)

Credits are the default path. If you’d rather bill Moonshot directly, attach your own provider key.

1

Open Providers

Go to the Providers page.

2

Add Moonshot

Select Moonshot and paste your moonshot.api_key.

3

Load balancing (Optional)

Add multiple credential sets and use Load balancing weight to distribute traffic across them.

Override credentials per model (Optional)

Use credential_override when one model on a request should use a different Moonshot key than the default.

1{
2 "customer_credentials": {
3 "moonshot": { "api_key": "YOUR_MOONSHOT_API_KEY" }
4 },
5 "credential_override": {
6 "moonshot/kimi-k2": { "api_key": "ANOTHER_MOONSHOT_API_KEY" }
7 }
8}

Log without proxying (Optional)

Already calling Moonshot directly? Send logs to Respan asynchronously to track cost, latency, and performance for those external calls.
