Venice is an AI inference platform that provides API access to various language models.

Setup

  1. Sign up or log in at https://venice.ai
  2. Navigate to your API settings at https://venice.ai/settings/api
  3. Create or retrieve your API key
  4. In CodexBar, add your Venice API key via:
    • Preferences > Providers > Venice, OR
    • Set the environment variable VENICE_API_KEY or VENICE_KEY

Balance Query

CodexBar fetches your current Venice API balance using the /api/v1/billing/balance endpoint.

Balance Types

  • DIEM: Venice's native credits (if epoch allocation is configured)
  • USD: Dollar balance if available
  • Consumption Currency: Indicates which currency is active for current billing

Display

CodexBar shows:

  • Current remaining balance (DIEM or USD)
  • Epoch allocation progress (if applicable)
  • "Balance unavailable" if consumption is temporarily disabled

Troubleshooting

No balance showing?

  • Verify your API key is correct
  • Check network connectivity
  • Ensure your Venice account has an active balance

API rate limiting?

  • CodexBar caches balance data and updates every 30 seconds
  • If you hit rate limits, wait a moment before refreshing
