+## API
+
+### `countTokens(text, provider?)`
+
+Returns the number of tokens in `text`. Default provider: `'openai'`.
+
+### `encode(text, provider?)`
+
+Returns an array of token ids.
+
+### `decode(ids, provider?)`
+
+Decodes an array of token ids back to a string.
+
+### `isWithinTokenLimit(text, limit, provider?)`
+
+Returns the token count if `text` is within `limit` tokens, or `false` if exceeded. More efficient than `encode()` for long texts — the tiktoken engine short-circuits as soon as the limit is crossed.
+
+### Tokenizer instances
+
+`openai()`, `openaiO200k()`, `anthropic()`, `gemini()` each return a cached `Tokenizer` object with `.encode()`, `.decode()`, and `.count()` methods. Instances are created once per provider per process.
+
 ## Why not tiktoken?
 
 `tiktoken` is accurate for OpenAI but requires Rust/WASM native bindings, which can break in Docker containers, edge runtimes, and serverless environments. `bpe-lite` is pure JavaScript — it runs anywhere Node 18+ runs.

 ## Caveats
 
 - **Anthropic**: Anthropic has not released the Claude 3+ tokenizer. The cl100k approximation is accurate to ~95% for most text.
-- **Speed**: Pure JS is slower than tiktoken's native implementation. For token *counting* (not bulk processing) the difference is negligible.
+- **Speed**: Pure JS is slower than tiktoken's native implementation. For token counting (not bulk processing) the difference is negligible.
 - **Node version**: Requires Node 18+ for Unicode property escapes (`\p{L}`, `\p{N}`) in the pre-tokenization regex.
