Use the Claude & GPT API Without an Overseas Card

How you can pay

The payment methods shown on lanox.ai include Alipay and international cards. You top up a US dollar balance and each call is deducted from it at the LanoX rate for that model.

You pay the LanoX rate only. The official price on the pricing page is shown for comparison, and the two are not added together.

Steps

1. Create an account on lanox.ai.
2. Top up your balance with Alipay or an international card.
3. Create an API key in the console.
4. Set your client to the base address in the docs: https://api.lanox.ai, with https://api.lanox.ai/v1 for OpenAI-compatible clients such as Codex.
5. Call GET /v1/models to see the model IDs your key can use, and pick one.
6. Send a first request, then check the usage record and charge in the console.
