Full guide

Format	Where to set it up
OpenAI Chat, Anthropic Messages	Roo Code panel → gear icon → API Provider = “OpenAI Compatible” → Base URL, API Key, Model; optionally Model Configuration (Max Output Tokens, Context Window, Image Support, Computer Use, prices). The Anthropic provider has a “Use custom base URL” checkbox.

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.

API Provider: OpenAI Compatible
Base URL:     https://api.ailoot.ai/v1
API Key:      sk-...
Model:        gpt-6.1-sol   (or claude-sonnet-5-5, kimi-k3, glm-5.3)

Alternative via Anthropic:
API Provider: Anthropic, API key sk-..., [x] Use custom base URL → https://api.ailoot.ai

Example model: gpt-6.1-sol. 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 without /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.
