Quickstart guide

Base URL and Authentication

The API base URL is https://api.buyclaudeapi.com/v1. You must include your API key in the Authorization header for every request. Generate your key instantly via Google or email login on the dashboard. No phone number is required for signup. The system issues a single active key per account that replaces previous keys upon regeneration.

Basic Chat Completion

Send a POST request to /v1/chat/completions with your messages. The model ID is uncensored. This endpoint processes text in and returns text out without content refusals for lawful adult use. It functions exactly like the standard OpenAI chat interface. Use this for direct integration into your applications.

Python SDK Integration

Install the official openai package and point it to our base URL. Set the API key in the client configuration. This allows you to use existing Python code with minimal changes. The client handles the HTTP communication and JSON parsing automatically. Streaming and JSON mode are supported natively.

Node SDK Integration

Use the openai Node.js package to connect to our endpoint. Configure the base URL and API key in the client initialization. This approach works with standard TypeScript and JavaScript projects. You can reuse existing OpenAI-compatible client code directly. The model responds to standard prompt structures without modification.

Streaming Responses

Enable streaming by setting stream: true in your request. The API returns Server-Sent Events (SSE) for real-time token delivery. Token usage data is included in the final chunk of the stream. This reduces perceived latency for end-users. You can parse incremental text updates as they arrive.

Limits, Errors, and Context

The context window is 100,000 tokens total. Max output is 16,000 tokens per request. You are limited to 300 requests per minute and 8 concurrent requests. A 401 error means your key is invalid. A 402 error indicates insufficient credit. A 429 error signals rate limit exhaustion. Errors do not consume your prepaid credit. Pay only for successful token generation.

cURL

Copycurl https://api.buyclaudeapi.com/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "uncensored",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "get total users from last query"}]
  }'

Python

Copyfrom openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(base_url="https://api.buyclaudeapi.com/v1", api_key="YOUR_KEY")

resp = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="uncensored",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Summarise this thread without softening it."}],
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)

Node.js

Copyimport OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({ baseURL: "https://api.buyclaudeapi.com/v1", apiKey: process.env.API_KEY });

const resp = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "uncensored",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Draft a villain monologue for my game." }],
});
console.log(resp.choices[0].message.content);

Streaming

Copystream = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="uncensored",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Tell the story in second person."}],
    stream=True,
)
for chunk in stream:
    if chunk.choices and chunk.choices[0].delta.content:
        print(chunk.choices[0].delta.content, end="", flush=True)
