The AI API that actually works in Africa

Fikra API gives African developers access to powerful AI models without the barriers that usually block them : no Stripe, no US card, no VPN needed. Pay with M-Pesa. Start from $1. Get 2 million tokens per dollar. OpenAI-compatible endpoints so your existing code works with a one-line change. Built in Nairobi. Designed for developers in markets that mainstream AI platforms ignore.
I built Fikra API because every AI platform I tried wanted a US card or a Stripe account - neither of which works cleanly from Nairobi. So I built the alternative: OpenAI-compatible inference you can pay for with M-Pesa, Airtel Money, MTN and other local payment providers in Africa, starting from KES 130 or 1 US dollar. Your existing code works with a one-line endpoint change. We're giving the first developers 1,000,000 free tokens - no card required. Try it and tell me what you're building.
