Prices as of 8 November 2026. They are in naira and follow the exchange rate, so the live price may differ a little. A token is roughly three quarters of a word.

What a request costs

A request that sends 1,500 tokens (instructions, the conversation so far and a question) and gets 500 back (about 375 words) costs about ₦0.633 on 8 November 2026. A thousand of them cost about ₦633. When 1,000 of the input tokens are instructions that stay the same, prompt caching reads them at the cached rate and the request costs about ₦0.459.

Use Qwen3.8 Flash from your code

Bridge speaks the OpenAI format, so the OpenAI SDK works as it is: set the base URL to https://wekoya-api.wekoya.tech/v1, use your Bridge key, and pass qwen3.8-flash as the model. Create a key, then:

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(api_key="wk_live_...", base_url="https://wekoya-api.wekoya.tech/v1")
reply = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="qwen3.8-flash",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
)
print(reply.choices[0].message.content)

Streaming works the same way, and so does tool calling. To send a picture, add it to the message as an image. The quickstart has the same in JavaScript and curl, and the Responses API works too.
