Quick Start (3 Steps)

No matter which client you end up using, the setup always comes down to these three steps. Once you understand this page, following the tutorial for your specific client will be a breeze.

First, Learn 3 Terms (30 seconds)

Term	In Plain English
API Key / Token	Your "pass + wallet" rolled into one. Your client uses it to access our services. It looks like sk-xxxx and must be kept secret.
base_url / API address	Tells your client "where to fetch the service." Just replace its default official address with ours.
Model	Which AI you want to use (for writing code / for chatting). You can see which ones are available in the console.

Remember it in one line: grab a Key + enter an address + pick a model — every client follows this same pattern.

Step 1: Create an API Key (Token)

1. Open the console and log in.
2. On the left, go to Tokens → click Add Token.
3. Give it a name (e.g. codex, cherry), set the quota as needed → Submit.
4. In the list, click Copy to get a Key that looks like sk-xxxxxxxxxxxx.

Live demo: go to 'API Keys' → click + Create API Key → name it → pick a group

Keep It Safe

A Key is the same as your wallet. Don't post it in public chats, screenshots, or on GitHub. If it leaks, go to the console, delete that token, and create a new one.

Step 2: Find the API Address (base_url)

Replace your client's default official address with ours:

Which format does your client use	Use this base_url
OpenAI / Codex style (the vast majority)	https://byesu.com/v1
Claude / Anthropic style	https://byesu.com
Gemini style	https://byesu.com

Not sure which one? Check the note at the top of your client's tutorial page — every one of them spells it out clearly.

Step 3: Enter It in Your Client and Run It

Pick the client you use, and follow its tutorial to enter the base_url + API Key + model.

We support 17 clients in four categories — 💻 desktop clients · ⌨️ command line · 🤖 chatbots · 🌐 translation.

👉 See them all at Client Integrations. For beginners, we recommend starting with Cherry Studio (graphical interface, no code) or the Codex desktop app; CLI users (Claude Code / Codex) should grab ⚡ CC Switch — one-click import from the console, no manual setup.

If you get an error after setting it up, don't panic — Common Errors & Fixes covers almost all of them.

How Do I Choose a Model?

The console shows all available models and their prices. For the best results, just pick the latest and most powerful flagship from each platform:

Platform	Current top flagship	Best for
OpenAI	gpt-5.6	General / coding
Claude	claude-opus-4-8	Coding / complex reasoning
Google Gemini	gemini-3.1-pro	Long text / multimodal
xAI Grok	grok-4.5	Real-time / fast
Zhipu GLM	a/glm-5.2	Value for money

The actual list in the console is authoritative (updated continuously). The model name must be exactly the same as written in the console (case, hyphens, and the a/ prefix all have to match), otherwise you'll get a model does not exist error.
