🚀 Quick Start

Get your first API call to China's best AI models in under 5 minutes

Step 1: Get Your API Key

Step 2: Make Your First API Call

tokencnn.com is 100% compatible with the OpenAI SDK. You only need to change the base_url.

Python

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://www.tokencnn.com",
    api_key="sk-your-key-here"
)

# Chat with DeepSeek
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="deepseek-chat",
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "What's the best Chinese AI model?"}
    ]
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)

Node.js

import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
    baseURL: "https://www.tokencnn.com",
    apiKey: "sk-your-key-here",
});

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

cURL

curl https://www.tokencnn.com/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-your-key-here" \

  -d '{
    "model": "deepseek-chat",
    "messages": [
      {"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}
    ]
  }'
