88API Token Platform sponsors AutoClip and provides OpenAI-compatible APIs for analysis, cover images and transcription.
Register through the AutoClip referral link, then create an API key in the console. New users can receive trial credit; the amount, eligibility and terms are set by the platform. Live support is available on the platform. The referral link includes commission that supports project maintenance.
- Open Settings → AI Models → AI service and select 88API in the recommended group. You can also configure it during first-run setup.
- Enter your 88API key. The preset base URL is
https://api.88api.ai/v1. A savedhttps://88api.ai/v1still works and is not rewritten. - Wait for your account's model list and choose an analysis model. For visual analysis, select a multimodal model that accepts images.
- Test the connection and save. Verify the result with a short video before larger jobs.
No default text model or account allowlist is assumed. Use exact model IDs available to your account. Image and audio previews shown without a key are reference catalogs, not proof of account access.
- Covers can reuse the AI service key with supported OpenAI Images models such as account-listed
gpt-image-1ordall-e-3. Other image models depend on their actual API and returned capability metadata. - Transcription supports account-listed
whisper-1through the OpenAI audio API with timestamps. - The platform also offers video generation and TTS; these are not corresponding AutoClip features.
If 88API is not listed, select the custom OpenAI-compatible provider:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Provider | Custom OpenAI-compatible API |
| Base URL | https://api.88api.ai/v1 |
| API key | The API key created in the 88API console |

Include /v1 only once and do not append /chat/completions. Select the model, test the connection and save.

- 404: Check the base URL and exact model ID, and ensure the model supports the requested API.
