2. Definitions

3. Service Description

3.1 What is DOUGH.ID

DOUGH.ID is a real-time API proxy gateway that provides unified access to multiple AI models from different upstream providers. We do NOT host, train, or run AI models ourselves. Our Service acts as an intermediary: receiving your API requests in OpenAI-compatible format, validating authentication, enforcing rate limits, forwarding to the appropriate upstream provider, and returning their response to you.

3.2 Key Features

• Single API endpoint (/api/v1/chat/completions) for 10+ AI models
• OpenAI-compatible format — switch models by changing the model parameter
• Free tier with generous daily token limits
• No credit card required to sign up
• API key management via web Dashboard
• Support for multiple API keys per account (development, staging, production)

3.3 Availability

We strive to provide the Service 24/7, but we do NOT guarantee uninterrupted availability. The Service may experience downtime for maintenance, updates, or circumstances beyond our control. See Section 17 — Force Majeure.

4. Eligibility & Account Registration

4.1 Eligibility Requirements

To create a DOUGH.ID account, you must:

• Be at least 13 years old (16 in the EU)
• Have a valid, accessible email address
• Provide accurate, complete, and current registration information
• Not be currently suspended or banned from the Service
• Not be located in a country or region subject to sanctions by Indonesia, the UN, US, or EU

4.2 Account Security

You are solely responsible for:

• All activities that occur under your account, whether authorized or not
• Promptly notifying us of any unauthorized use at [email protected]
• Using a strong, unique password (minimum 8 characters, mixed letters/numbers/symbols)

4.3 One Account Per Person

Each individual may only maintain one free account. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent rate limits or for other abusive purposes is strictly prohibited and will result in termination of all associated accounts.

5. API Keys & Authentication

5.1 API Key Creation

API keys are created through your DOUGH.ID Dashboard. Each key has the following characteristics:

• Format: sk- followed by 29 alphanumeric characters (32 characters total)
• Keys are shown ONLY once — at creation time. Store securely.
• Keys are hashed (one-way) before storage. We CANNOT recover lost keys.
• You may create up to 10 API keys per account for different environments.

5.2 API Key Usage

Use the API key in the Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY header on every API request. Invalid or revoked keys will receive a 401 Unauthorized response.

5.3 Revocation & Rotation

You may revoke any API key at any time from the Dashboard. Once revoked, the key immediately ceases to function. We recommend rotating keys periodically (every 90 days) and immediately revoking keys suspected of compromise.

6. Plans & Rate Limits

6.1 Free Tier

The DOUGH.ID Free Tier provides API access with daily token limits. Specific limits are displayed in your Dashboard and may change from time to time based on capacity and demand. The Free Tier is intended for prototyping, learning, personal projects, and light non-commercial use.
