# APICLAN

> APICLAN (apiclan.us) is an OpenAI-compatible AI API gateway. One base URL
> gives access to Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok and image models, billed per token
> in USD with no subscription and no monthly minimum. Accounts are topped up
> with USDT; 1 USDT gives 2 credits of API balance. Balance does not expire and
> unused balance can be refunded within 7 days.

## What it is

APICLAN is a paid API relay, not a model provider. Requests are forwarded to
the upstream providers and billed per token at a published fraction of each
model's official list price. The discount comes from the way upstream capacity
is purchased, not from serving different or reduced models — the model, context
window and speed are the provider's own.

## Endpoints

- Base URL for OpenAI-compatible clients: `https://apiclan.us/v1`
- Base URL for Claude Code and the Anthropic SDK: `https://apiclan.us`
  (these clients append `/v1/messages` themselves)
- Authentication: `Authorization: Bearer <key>`, keys start with `sk-`

## Key facts

- Billing is per token, in USD, with no subscription, no monthly minimum and
  no per-request token cap.
- Each API key belongs to exactly one group. A key made for text models cannot
  call image models, and vice versa.
- Cached input is billed at a fraction of the input rate, so agent tools that
  resend the same context cost less than raw token counts suggest.
- Prices on the site are regenerated automatically from real billing data.
