# Base URL

Poixe AI provides two types of Base URL: a **primary endpoint** and **secondary endpoints**. Their capacity is roughly the same; the main differences are **high availability / whether traffic goes through a CDN / timeout limits**.

> **What is High Availability?**\
> High availability means that when a route, server, or node fails, the service can keep serving requests through automatic failover and redundancy, minimizing downtime.

## Primary endpoint (recommended)

Suitable for most scenarios: more stable and better suited to production environments.

**Base URL:**

```text theme={"theme":{"light":"min-light","dark":"min-dark"}}
https://api.poixe.com/
```

**Features**

* **High availability** (built for production use)
* Behind **Cloudflare CDN** (more stable global access and protection)

**Limitations**

* A **120-second forced timeout** applies (imposed by Cloudflare CDN)

* If your request may exceed 120 seconds (for example, very long outputs, slow tool chains, or long-running streaming), we recommend switching to a secondary endpoint.

## Secondary endpoints (no CDN, friendlier to long connections)

When you need longer request durations (for example, long-running streaming or complex tasks), you can use the secondary endpoints.

**Base URL (ready to copy):**

```text theme={"theme":{"light":"min-light","dark":"min-dark"}}
https://api-eu-central-1-dc8.poixe.com
```

```text theme={"theme":{"light":"min-light","dark":"min-dark"}}
https://api-eu-central-1-dc15.poixe.com
```

**Features**

* **No 120-second forced timeout** (traffic does not go through a CDN)
* A theoretical request timeout limit of about **600 seconds** (subject to your client and network environment)

**Limitations**

* **Not highly available**: each is a single-point endpoint. If one is occasionally unreachable, you need to switch to the other secondary endpoint on the client side.

## Recommendations

* **Use the primary endpoint by default**: more stable and better suited to production environments.
* If you clearly run into the **120-second timeout** or need longer durations: switch to the **secondary endpoints** and implement **failover** on the client (switching between dc8 / dc15).

## Notes

* You only need to configure the Base URL in the request address of the protocol you use. Different protocols only affect the **authentication fields and request structure**, not the domain choice described here.
* We recommend keeping the trailing `/` consistent in your configuration (especially for the primary endpoint).
