Quick Start

Get up and running with BytePass in 5 minutes. One API key gives you access to Claude, GPT, and more — no VPN, no foreign credit card.

1. Create an account

Go to bytepass.ai/register and sign up with your email.

2. Add credits

After logging in, go to the dashboard and redeem a top-up code, or head to Purchase to buy credits directly.

Credits are balance-based, not subscription. You only pay for what you use.

3. Create an API key

Go to Dashboard → API Keys (or visit bytepass.ai/keys) and click Create Token.

Copy your key — it starts with sk- and you'll need it in the next step.

4. Make your first request

Option A: Import to CC-Switch (recommended)

If you have CC-Switch installed, just click the "Import to CCS" button next to your key on the keys page — done in one click.

Option B: cURL

curl https://api.bytepass.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "gpt-5.4", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]}'

Option C: Python

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://api.bytepass.ai/v1"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-5.4",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)

Option D: JavaScript / TypeScript

import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
  baseURL: "https://api.bytepass.ai/v1",
});

const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "gpt-5.4",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello!" }],
});
console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with the key you copied in step 3.
