FAQ

Questions, answered

Which apps does it work with?
Anything that speaks the Anthropic Messages API or the OpenAI Chat Completions API: Cursor, Claude Code, Cline, Continue, LangChain, the official SDKs and plain HTTP. Claude models work in Anthropic format.
How do I pay?
Top-ups are handled on WhatsApp. Open your account page, tap "Top up on WhatsApp" and your account id is filled in for you. Credit is added once payment is confirmed.
What happens when my balance runs low?
Requests need a balance of at least $0.30. Below that the API returns a clear "insufficient balance" error until you top up. You are never billed past zero.
Am I charged for failed requests?
No. You pay only for replies that complete. Upstream errors and requests that return no usage cost nothing.
Do you store my prompts?
No. We log the model, token counts, cost and status of each request so you can see your usage. Prompt and reply content is passed through and never saved.
I lost my key. What now?
Keys are stored only as a hash, so we cannot show it again. Message us on WhatsApp with your account id and we will help you.
