+# ZeroGPU API URL Configuration
+
+## ✅ Verified Working URL
+
+**Your ZeroGPU API URL:**
+```
+https://bm9njt1ypzvuqw-8000.proxy.runpod.net
+```
+
+**Status:** ✅ Verified and working  
+**API Response:** Confirmed accessible  
+**Format:** Runpod proxy URL (standard format)
+
+---
+
+## URL Format
+
+### Runpod Proxy URL (Recommended)
+```
+https://<pod-id>-8000.proxy.runpod.net
+```
+
+**Example:**
+```
+https://bm9njt1ypzvuqw-8000.proxy.runpod.net
+```
+
+**Characteristics:**
+- ✅ HTTPS (secure)
+- ✅ Runpod-managed proxy
+- ✅ Automatic SSL/TLS
+- ✅ Publicly accessible
+- ✅ No port number needed in URL
+
+### Direct IP URL (Alternative)
+```
+http://<ip-address>:8000
+```
+
+**Example:**
+```
+http://192.168.1.100:8000
+```
+
+**Note:** Only use if Runpod proxy is not available.
+
+---
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Environment Variable
+
+Set in Hugging Face Spaces → Settings → Repository secrets:
+
+```bash
+ZERO_GPU_API_URL=https://bm9njt1ypzvuqw-8000.proxy.runpod.net
+```
+
+### Default Configuration
+
+The application now defaults to your Runpod URL:
+- **Default:** `https://bm9njt1ypzvuqw-8000.proxy.runpod.net`
+- **Override:** Set `ZERO_GPU_API_URL` environment variable
+
+---
+
+## URL Validation
+
+The system automatically validates the URL:
+
+1. **Format Check:**
+   - Must have `http://` or `https://` scheme
+   - Must have valid host/domain
+   - Rejects placeholder values (`your-pod-ip`, `localhost`)
+
+2. **Connectivity Check:**
+   - Tests `/health` endpoint
+   - Verifies API is reachable
+   - Provides helpful error messages if connection fails
+
+3. **Readiness Check:**
+   - Tests `/ready` endpoint
+   - Verifies models are loaded
+   - Waits for API to be ready (up to 5 minutes)
+
+---
+
+## Verification
+
+### Manual Verification
+
+Use the verification script:
+```bash
+python verify_zerogpu_url.py https://bm9njt1ypzvuqw-8000.proxy.runpod.net
+```
+
+### Programmatic Verification
+
+```python
+from zero_gpu_client import ZeroGPUChatClient
+
+# URL is validated automatically on initialization
+client = ZeroGPUChatClient(
+    base_url="https://bm9njt1ypzvuqw-8000.proxy.runpod.net",
+    email="[email protected]",
+    password="your-password"
+)
+
+# Or verify URL without authentication
+results = client.verify_url()
+print(results)
+```
+
+---
+
+## API Status
+
+From the API response:
+```json
+{
+  "message": "ZeroGPU Chat API",
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+  "available_tasks": ["classification", "reasoning", "embedding", "general"],
+  "api_docs": "/docs",
+  "status": "loading"
+}
+```
+
+**Status Values:**
+- `"loading"` - Models are loading (normal during startup)
+- `"ready"` - All models loaded and ready
+
+**Available Tasks:**
+- ✅ `classification` - Text classification
+- ✅ `reasoning` - Complex reasoning
+- ✅ `embedding` - Text embeddings
+- ✅ `general` - General purpose chat
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Issue: URL Not Reachable
+
+**Symptoms:**
+- Connection refused
+- Timeout errors
+- 404 Not Found
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Verify Runpod pod is running
+2. Check pod status in Runpod dashboard
+3. Verify proxy URL is correct
+4. Check network connectivity
+5. Ensure port 8000 is exposed
+
+### Issue: Invalid URL Format
+
+**Error:**
+```
+Invalid ZeroGPU API URL: 'http://your-pod-ip:8000'
+```
+
+**Solution:**
+- Replace placeholder with actual Runpod URL
+- Use format: `https://<pod-id>-8000.proxy.runpod.net`
+- Ensure URL starts with `http://` or `https://`
+
+### Issue: API Not Ready
+
+**Status:** `"loading"`
+
+**Solution:**
+- Wait for models to load (typically 2-5 minutes)
+- Check `/ready` endpoint periodically
+- System will automatically wait for readiness
+
+---
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+### Current Configuration
+```bash
+ZERO_GPU_API_URL=https://bm9njt1ypzvuqw-8000.proxy.runpod.net
+```
+
+### API Endpoints
+- **Health:** `https://bm9njt1ypzvuqw-8000.proxy.runpod.net/health`
+- **Ready:** `https://bm9njt1ypzvuqw-8000.proxy.runpod.net/ready`
+- **API Info:** `https://bm9njt1ypzvuqw-8000.proxy.runpod.net/`
+- **Docs:** `https://bm9njt1ypzvuqw-8000.proxy.runpod.net/docs`
+- **Chat:** `https://bm9njt1ypzvuqw-8000.proxy.runpod.net/chat`
+
+### Verification Commands
+```bash
+# Check health
+curl https://bm9njt1ypzvuqw-8000.proxy.runpod.net/health
+
+# Check readiness
+curl https://bm9njt1ypzvuqw-8000.proxy.runpod.net/ready
+
+# Get API info
+curl https://bm9njt1ypzvuqw-8000.proxy.runpod.net/
+```
