Transport and network requirements for inference APIs.

TLS

  • Use HTTPS only against https://51kik.com and https://51kik.com/v1.
  • Do not disable TLS verification in production.

Public internet

Default access is public HTTPS. Allow outbound 443 to the gateway hostname assigned to your tenant.

IP allow lists

When per-key IP allow lists are enabled for you in the console:

  • Configure egress IPs or NAT ranges in the console.
  • Calls from other IPs return 403 (e.g. ip_not_allowed) — see Errors.
  • Update the list before changing egress IPs to avoid mass 403s.

Private connectivity

VPC peering, dedicated lines, or private endpoints may use a different Base URL than the public docs. Use the endpoint from your console in your app and SDK (same shape as Base URL and environments).

Proxies

ScenarioGuidance
Corporate HTTP proxySet HTTPS_PROXY; do not buffer SSE
Multi-regionUse regional entry points when provided; align key policy

Disable response buffering for streaming (Streaming).
