Quickstart
Quickstart
Four steps: create an account, add credit, create an API key and send a request.
1. Sign up
Open the sign-up page to create an account, then sign in to the dashboard.
2. Add credit
Top up your balance on the Recharge / Subscription page, or redeem a code on the Redeem page. Pay-as-you-go requests are charged against your balance; see Balance & top-ups.
3. Create an API key
Go to API Keys and click Create API Key:
Pick a group — it determines which models the key can use; Optionally set a spend limit, an expiry date and an IP allowlist.
Copy the key that starts with sk-.
An API key spends your balance. Never commit it to a repository or ship it in browser code. If you think it has leaked, disable or delete it in the dashboard immediately.
4. Send your first request
Every OpenAI-compatible endpoint lives under:
cURL
Python
Node.js
Change model to any model in the catalog that your key can use. Call GET /v1/models to list the models available to the current key.
What's next
Streaming: return tokens as they are generated. Tool calling: let the model call your functions. Use it from Claude Code.
