Codex and Claude API
OpenAI-compatible API alternative for Codex and Claude Code
Coding tools can spend quickly because they retry, read long context, and produce large outputs. A controlled gateway key lets you test without exposing unlimited provider spend.
One wallet for common coding clients
Use OpenAI-compatible, Anthropic-style, and Gemini-compatible endpoints from the same prepaid account.
Create controlled keys for each tool
Give Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, and experiments their own keys.
- Separate keys by client
- Set model allowlists
- Use output caps for coding agents
- Review logs after long sessions
Why this converts better
Developers searching for setup want a working endpoint, a key, and a way to limit cost.
FAQ
Can Codex use an OpenAI-compatible gateway?
