Anthropic-style tools (Claude Code)

https://api.bidgrow.shop

OpenAI-style tools (Codex, Cursor, SDKs)

https://api.bidgrow.shop/v1

The rule of thumb

  • Anthropic-style tools (Claude Code) use the root: https://api.bidgrow.shop
  • OpenAI-style tools use /v1: https://api.bidgrow.shop/v1

Before you start

  1. Get your key (sk-...) from where you bought access.
  2. Open https://bidgrow.shop/check, paste the key, and note the model names listed there. Use exactly those names in your tool. The examples use claude-opus-5-5 as a placeholder.
  3. Your key is activated by its first API call. The validity countdown (for example 7 or 30 days) starts at that moment, not when you received the key.
  4. Your key stops when its token or request allowance is used up, or when it expires.
  5. Some keys have a daily limit (for example "1,000 requests / day"). You can use up to that many requests per day; the count resets every day at 00:00 UTC. After that you get an error saying the daily limit is reached and when it resets; the key works again automatically after the reset.
  6. On request-based keys, some models count as more than one request per call (for example claude-opus-5-5 may count as 3). The usage check page at https://bidgrow.shop/check lists these models. Token-based keys only count tokens.

Check remaining usage

Open https://bidgrow.shop/check, paste your key, and you will see remaining tokens or requests (for daily keys: today's usage and when it resets), the expiry date, and allowed models.
