Nodebyt

Quick Start

Documentation

Configure your API endpoint and key via environment variables — no code changes needed to integrate Nodebyt.

API Endpoints

Anthropic SDK (Claude Code etc.)

bash

ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://api.nodebyt.com

OpenAI SDK / HTTP

bash

base_url=https://api.nodebyt.com/v1

Windows Setup

Valid for the current terminal session only. Closes when the window closes. Good for quick testing.

powershell

# PowerShell (valid for current session only)
$env:ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL = "https://api.nodebyt.com"
$env:ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN = "sk-your-api-key"

Writes to user environment variables permanently. Reopen your terminal after running.

powershell

# PowerShell (permanent, writes to user environment variables)
[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL", "https://api.nodebyt.com", "User")
[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN", "sk-your-api-key", "User")

# Reopen terminal after running

Alternatively, use the GUI: Win + S → search "Edit environment variables" → User variables → New.

CMD (Command Prompt) temporary setting — valid for the current window only.

bat

rem CMD (valid for current session only)
set ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://api.nodebyt.com
set ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=sk-your-api-key

macOS / Linux Setup

Valid for the current terminal session only. Closes when the window closes. Good for quick testing.

bash

# bash / zsh (valid for current session only)
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://api.nodebyt.com"
export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="sk-your-api-key"

Appends to ~/.zshrc permanently. macOS Catalina (10.15+) uses zsh by default.

bash

# zsh permanent (default shell on macOS Catalina 10.15+)
echo 'export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://api.nodebyt.com"' >> ~/.zshrc
echo 'export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="sk-your-api-key"' >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc

Appends to ~/.bashrc (Linux) or ~/.bash_profile (macOS bash).

bash

# bash permanent (Linux ~/.bashrc or macOS ~/.bash_profile)
echo 'export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://api.nodebyt.com"' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="sk-your-api-key"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

Claude Code CLI

Anthropic's official CLI — connect to Nodebyt via environment variables, no code changes needed.

Go to API Key Management to download a one-click setup script →

Or set the environment variables manually:

bash

# bash / zsh (valid for current session only)
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://api.nodebyt.com"
export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="sk-your-api-key"

Then launch with:

bash

claude

Codex CLI

OpenAI's official Codex CLI — uses the /v1/responses endpoint. Note: base_url must include /v1.

Go to API Key Management to download a one-click setup script →

Edit ~/.codex/config.toml:

toml

model_provider = "nodebyt"
model = "gpt-5.3-codex"
model_reasoning_effort = "high"
disable_response_storage = true
preferred_auth_method = "apikey"

[model_providers.nodebyt]
name = "nodebyt"
base_url = "https://api.nodebyt.com/v1"
wire_api = "responses"
env_key = "NODEBYT_API_KEY"

Then set the API key as an environment variable:

bash

# bash / zsh
export NODEBYT_API_KEY="sk-your-api-key"

Then launch with:

bash

codex

Code Examples

Uses the official Anthropic SDK — reads base_url and api_key automatically from environment variables.

python

from anthropic import Anthropic

# Automatically reads ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL / ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN from env
client = Anthropic()

message = client.messages.create(
    model="claude-sonnet-4-6",
    max_tokens=1024,
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
)
print(message.content[0].text)

Install:pip install anthropic

Uses the OpenAI Python SDK with a custom base_url, compatible with all OpenAI-formatted calls.

python

import openai

client = openai.OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.nodebyt.com/v1",
    api_key="sk-your-api-key",
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="claude-sonnet-4-6",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)

Install:pip install openai

Uses the OpenAI Node.js SDK.

javascript

import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  baseURL: "https://api.nodebyt.com/v1",
  apiKey: "sk-your-api-key",
});

const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "claude-sonnet-4-6",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello!" }],
});
console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);

Install:npm install openai

Direct HTTP request — no SDK required.

bash

curl https://api.nodebyt.com/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-your-api-key" \
  -d '{
    "model": "claude-sonnet-4-6",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
  }'

Streaming

Add stream: true to your request body to enable SSE streaming — ideal for real-time chat UIs.

python

from anthropic import Anthropic

client = Anthropic()

with client.messages.stream(
    model="claude-sonnet-4-6",
    max_tokens=1024,
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Write a haiku about Go."}],
) as stream:
    for text in stream.text_stream:
        print(text, end="", flush=True)

Error Handling

/v1/* endpoints follow OpenAI's error format — responses contain type / code / message.

json

{
  "error": {
    "type": "invalid_request_error",
    "code": "insufficient_quota",
    "message": "余额不足"
  }
}

Common error codes

HTTP	Message
`401`	API key is invalid or missing
`402`	Insufficient balance — please top up
`429`	Rate limited or daily quota exhausted
`503`	All upstream channels unavailable (circuit broken)
