Everything you need in one integration: Integrate Requesty with OpenWebUI to access 400+ AI models through a single, unified interface. Get chat completions, embeddings, speech-to-text, and image generation - all with the flexibility to choose between regions and create your own routing policies.

​
How It Works

Why use Requesty instead of managing providers yourself?

Simplified Integration

One URL (https://router.requesty.ai/v1) replaces dozens of provider-specific endpoints

Centralized Billing

Single invoice for all model providers—no need to manage multiple subscriptions

Advanced Analytics

Track usage by user email, model, cost, and time with built-in dashboards

Smart Caching

Intelligent response caching and optimization reduces costs and improves speed
What Requesty handles automatically:
  • ✅ Model availability discovery via /v1/models
  • ✅ Request transformation for different providers
  • ✅ Response caching and optimization
  • ✅ User tracking and analytics collection
  • ✅ Regional routing and failover
  • ✅ Rate limiting and quota management

​
Important: Enable User Tracking

Required for Analytics: Add this to your OpenWebUI YAML configuration to enable user tracking in analytics:
ENABLE_FORWARD_USER_INFO_HEADERS=true
Without this setting, you won’t be able to track usage by user email in your analytics.

​
Analytics & Usage Tracking

With ENABLE_FORWARD_USER_INFO_HEADERS=true enabled, you can track detailed usage analytics by user email, model, and more.

​
Visual Analytics Dashboard

View a complete breakdown of spending per customer in the Requesty analytics dashboard: View Spend by User Email →
Analytics Dashboard - Cost by User Email
This dashboard provides real-time insights into:
  • Cost per user (grouped by email)
  • Usage patterns over time
  • Model-specific spending breakdowns
  • Interactive time-series visualizations

​
Programmatic Analytics

You can also retrieve usage statistics programmatically using the Requesty Management API. This is useful for building custom dashboards or billing integrations.

​
Get Usage by User Email

Use the extra.X-Openwebui-User-Email field to group usage by OpenWebUI user: 
curl -X GET "https://api-v2.requesty.ai/v1/manage/apikey/{id}/usage" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer REQUESTY_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "start": "2025-11-01T00:00:00Z",
    "end": "2025-11-30T23:59:59Z",
    "group_by": ["extra.X-Openwebui-User-Email"],
    "resolution": "day"
  }'
Example Response: 
{
  "usage": {
    "2025-11-29": {
      "spend": "0.13484955",
      "total_tokens": 36398,
      "grouped_data": [{
        "group_by_values": {
          "extra.X-Openwebui-User-Email": "[email protected]"
        },
        "spend": "0.13484955",
        "total_tokens": 36398
      }]
    }
  }
}
