Introduction

OpenEdge is a commercial API service platform built on Cloudflare. It gives users one control plane for API keys, service instances, billing, rate limits, usage logs, and third-party connections.

The platform is already deployed at:

API base URL: https://api.open4x.com
Console:      https://console.open4x.com

What OpenEdge Provides

OpenEdge is not just a reverse proxy. It is a SaaS layer around a group of services:

Area	What it does
Authentication	JWT for console sessions and hashed API keys for service calls.
Service instances	Users can create aliases such as ai/default, webhook-push/ops, or tron/mainnet.
Billing	Paid service calls check balance, create transactions, and refund failed work.
Connected Accounts	Third-party provider keys are encrypted once and reused across services.
Observability	Usage logs, analytics, request IDs, and operational status checks.

Available Services

Service	Status	API prefix
File Service	Available	/v1/apps/file
Bot Service	Available	/v1/apps/bot
Webhook Push	Available	/v1/apps/webhook-push
TRON Energy Lease	Available	/v1/apps/tron
AI Model Gateway	MVP available	/v1/apps/ai
SocialOps	Console MVP available	/v1/apps/socialops
Connected Accounts	Available in console	/console/connections

Quick Start

1. Open the Console.
2. Create or sign in to an account.
3. Create a service instance from the Service Marketplace.
4. Generate an API key with the scopes required by that service.
5. Call an endpoint under https://api.open4x.com/v1/apps.

Example request:

curl -X POST https://api.open4x.com/v1/apps/webhook-push/default/send \
  -H "X-API-Key: sk_xxx" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "title": "Order Paid",
    "text": "Order 10001 has been paid"
  }'

Authentication Model

Use API keys for server-side integrations:

X-API-Key: sk_xxx

Use JWT only for console-authenticated workflows:

Authorization: Bearer <token>

API keys are shown once. OpenEdge stores key hashes, not raw API keys.

Billing Model

OpenEdge uses prepaid balance as the first commercial model. Paid services check balance before execution. Services with uncertain final cost, such as AI and TRON energy leasing, use estimated charges, final settlement, and refunds when needed.

Read Pricing and Billing before exposing paid APIs to customers.
