Introduction and Core Concepts

Qiuqiu Token is a unified API access service that brings together text, image, and other mainstream AI capabilities. You can use the same account, balance, and API token with supported clients, or send API requests from your own application. Your account, balance, and API tokens are managed through your platform account; each client still requires its Base URL, API token, and model to be configured as needed.

The Base URL corresponds to the current gateway. Switching to another available gateway does not change the API token, model, or token group. The model identifies the request target. The token group is associated with the API token and affects the clients it can be used with and its pricing multiplier. Check the Model Catalog for current model names, prices, and multipliers.

For specific client configurations, please refer to the respective client guides.

Clients initiate requests through the API token, model, and Base URL; the token group is associated with the API token, and the gateway is associated with the Base URL. The roles of each object are as follows:

  1. Client

    The entity initiating the API request.

    1. API token

      Used for request authentication. When creating one, select a matching token group based on the usage scenario.

      1. Token group

        Associates the applicable clients, model-specific capacity pool, and pricing multiplier for this API token.

    2. Model

      Identifies the request target. Verify the exact name in the Model Catalog.

    3. Base URL

      The gateway address currently configured by the client.

      1. Gateway

        The platform provides multiple optional gateways. When switching the Base URL, the API token, model, and token group remain unchanged.
