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, POST /v1beta/models/{model}:generateContent, then use that ID in the configuration. For agents, also check tool support and the features required by your client version.
export AILOOT_API_KEY="sk-..."
# quick method
export OPENAI_API_KEY="$AILOOT_API_KEY"
export OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://api.ailoot.ai/v1
export OPENAI_MODEL=qwen3.8-max
qwen~/.qwen/settings.json
{
"modelProviders": {
"openai": [
{
"id": "qwen3.8-max",
"name": "Qwen 3.8 Max (Ailoot)",
"envKey": "AILOOT_API_KEY",
"baseUrl": "https://api.ailoot.ai/v1"
},
{
"id": "claude-sonnet-5-5",
"name": "Claude Sonnet 5.5 (Ailoot)",
"envKey": "AILOOT_API_KEY",
"baseUrl": "https://api.ailoot.ai/v1"
}
]
},
"security": {
"auth": {
"selectedType": "openai"
}
},
"model": {
"name": "qwen3.8-max"
}
}This configuration reads the key from the environment variable AILOOT_API_KEY. Set it before starting the application:
export AILOOT_API_KEY="sk-..." # add to ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrcsetx AILOOT_API_KEY "sk-..." # then restart the terminalExample model: qwen3.8-max. 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.ai— the API origin. The example above does not show the full setup for this format; consult the client’s documentation for the path to use in the relevant field. The API route prefix is/v1. - For the Gemini format, the URL is
https://api.ailoot.ai— the API origin. The example above does not show the full setup for this format; consult the client’s documentation for the path to use in the relevant field. The API route prefix is/v1beta. - 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.
