Use ApexApi in Kimi Code

Kimi Code is a terminal coding agent that accepts any OpenAI compatible provider. Register ApexApi once and run models from our catalog on one balance.

1. Get your API key

Create a key in your dashboard. It starts with ak-.

2. Register ApexApi as a provider

Edit ~/.kimi-code/config.toml and add:

[providers.apexapi]
type = "openai"
api_key = "ak-your-key-here"
base_url = "https://api.apexapi.dev/v1"

3. Reference models with the provider prefix

Models are addressed as apexapi/<catalog-id>, for example apexapi/anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6 or apexapi/deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro.

The ID must match the catalog exactly, in provider/model format. Browse all IDs on the models page.

4. Run it

Start Kimi Code and pick the ApexApi model; the interactive /provider command also lists the registered provider.

Troubleshooting

  • 401 Unauthorized: the key wasn't pasted correctly or has been revoked.
  • Model not found: the model ID doesn't match a catalog ID. Copy it verbatim from the models page.
  • Connection fails: make sure the base URL is exactly https://api.apexapi.dev/v1 (no trailing slash after v1) and your balance is positive.
  • Anything else: check the error codes reference; streaming and tool calling are fully supported on /v1/chat/completions.
