Manage everything in one account
Top up your balance, create API keys, review usage, and manage existing entitlements in one place. Moving between workflows does not require learning another account management interface. For example, use separate keys for daily coding, image assets, and test scripts, then review their usage records.Move from browser trials to API use
Start with image generation or video generation. For repeatable tasks or an integration in your product, use the API examples in those guides. Both browser and API requests must meet service group, balance, and quota requirements. A browser trial does not mean a free request.Work with your existing coding tools
Follow the cc-switch, Codex, or Claude Code guide. Choose visual configuration management or direct client configuration. Different tools use different protocols and URL formats. Each guide explains the required address, including whether to add/v1.
Review usage and costs
Use Dashboard for an overview and Usage for available model, token, and cost details. Begin with a small task, check the result and actual cost, then decide how much to use. Image and video billing may differ from text model billing. Check current service prices, multipliers, and rules rather than assuming one price or discount applies to every model.Separate keys by purpose
Create a dedicated API key for each project and set its quota and expiry. Configure IP or rate limits when needed to reduce the impact of misuse. A key quota controls that key’s spending; it does not add account balance. Changing keys does not bypass group permissions or account limits.Suitable workflows
Check three things before you start
- Capability: the selected group must provide your intended model and feature.
- Cost: review balance, key quota, pricing, and expiry for your task.
- Result: use a small request to check output quality and tool compatibility.
