Why developers switch Claude Code to an API key

Subscription plans give you a fixed allowance per week. When you run out mid-task, you wait. With an API key there is no weekly allowance: you top up a balance and every request is deducted from it.

Paying Anthropic's API price directly gets expensive with long agent sessions. Apixo charges up to 95% below that price for the same models, and cached context (which Claude Code re-sends constantly) is billed at the cheap cache rate.

Setup takes two environment variables

Claude Code reads ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL and ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN. Set them to our endpoint and your key, pick a model with ANTHROPIC_MODEL, and start claude as usual. Your login, projects and settings stay the same.

Prefer other agents? The same key works in OpenCode, Cline, Roo Code, Cursor and Codex CLI.

Questions

More answers in the docs, or contact us.

Does Claude Code work with a third-party API key?+

Yes. Claude Code officially supports a custom ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL. Our endpoint speaks the Anthropic Messages API, including streaming, tools and thinking.

Is there a daily or weekly limit?+

No. There is a per-minute rate limit to protect the service, but no daily or weekly cap. Top up from $1 whenever you need more.

Which model should I use?+

Sonnet for everyday coding, Opus for hard refactors and planning. Both are in the table with their per-token price.

What does a typical session cost?+

It depends on context size. Your dashboard shows every request with its tokens, cache hits and exact cost, so you see the bill in real time.
