Setup
Copy the configuration and replace sk-... with your key from the Ailoot Dashboard. Prefer storing the key in the environment variable AILOOT_API_KEY, if the application supports it.
Before starting, request GET /v1/models with your Ailoot key. Choose an exact model ID whose methods include POST /v1/chat/completions, POST /v1/messages, then use that ID in the configuration. For agents, also check tool support and the features required by your client version.
OpenAI-compatible:
Provider name: Ailoot
Base URL: https://api.ailoot.ai/v1
API key: sk-...
Anthropic-compatible:
Provider name: Ailoot Claude
Base URL: https://api.ailoot.ai
API key: sk-...
Models: loaded from {base_url}/models or + manually: claude-sonnet-5-5Example model: claude-sonnet-5-5. Choose any other model from the catalog — check that it supports the format you need.
Good to know
Test
- For the OpenAI format, the URL is
https://api.ailoot.ai/v1(or the full path if the application asks for a full URL). - For the Anthropic format, the URL is
https://api.ailoot.aiwithout/v1. - Ask a short question. If you get an error, check the code and Request ID, then consult Errors and limits.
- 404 immediately after setup almost always means the URL is wrong: an extra or missing
/v1. - 402 — insufficient balance for the reserve. Agents reserve more than chat: why.
