NovaAPI

NovaAPI lets developers access frontier Chinese models like DeepSeek V4.1 through a single endpoint while keeping familiar SDK workflows. It supports OpenAI-compatible chat/completions and Anthropic-compatible messages so you can point your existing tooling to one base URL and continue using it with Chinese frontier model routing.

For quick testing, new accounts start with $1 free credit (no card required). When you’re ready to scale, billing is pay-as-you-go from a prepaid USD balance, topped up starting at $5 using PayPal or USDT (TRC20).

NovaAPI is built for developers worldwide who need an access layer without Chinese phone number or ID verification. It also includes Claude-compatible model naming so Claude Code and Anthropic SDK-based setups can remain largely unchanged—just switch the API base URL and key.

Do I have to pay before I can try NovaAPI?

No—new accounts start with $1 of free credit, so you can run real requests before topping up.

Do I need a Chinese phone number to sign up?

No. You can sign up using just an email and start building from anywhere.

Which API formats does NovaAPI support?

NovaAPI provides an OpenAI-compatible endpoint at /v1/chat/completions and also supports Claude/Anthropic-compatible endpoints via /v1/messages.

Will NovaAPI work with my existing OpenAI or Anthropic code?

Yes. It’s designed as a drop-in replacement for OpenAI-compatible clients (change the base URL and API key), and it provides Claude-compatible model naming for Anthropic SDK workflows.

How does billing work?

Usage is pay-as-you-go against a prepaid balance, deducted per token consumed. Top-ups are available starting at $5 via PayPal or USDT (TRC20), and prices can change as model providers update rates.

Where is my data processed?

Your prompts and related request data are forwarded to the third-party model provider you select to fulfill the request, and providers process data under their own privacy policies.
