Enter API Key page
Enter API Keys from the sidebar of the console and confirm that you have come to the token list page, not the wallet page or model page.
Step 2
Create API Key and understand product line
After the top-up is completed, the next step is to create a token. Claude calls will use the group you choose, and GPT calls are billed according to the three types of token prices: input, output, and cache reading.

The most important things to create an API Key are: enter the correct page, understand the scope of influence of the group, and save it immediately after copying.

Select group and create
After clicking "New Token", select a group according to the product line: Claude uses special, reverse or direct; GPT uses GPT exclusive grouping, and is billed according to the input, output, and cache reading prices of the Key group and model.

Copy and save key
After creation is completed, copy the new token immediately. All subsequent CLI configurations use this key directly.
Note
The token is your credentials for accessing the API, please keep it properly. Do not post it to chat groups, screenshots of work orders, or public repositories.
Groups
Grouping description
Special, reverse, and direct are the grouping semantics of the Claude product line; the GPT product line uses GPT exclusive grouping and three types of token billing.
special
Focusing on cost performance, it is suitable for daily Claude Code and stable batch calls.
Default recommendation group. The lowest cost and suitable as a starting point for first access.
reverse
Suitable for scenarios that pursue lower latency and higher throughput.
Suitable for users who are more sensitive to response speed but still want to retain cost advantages.
direct
The link is more direct, giving priority to requests that require more stable behavior and stronger consistency.
Suitable for production workflows, long context tasks and more stringent stability requirements.
Tip
If you just want to run Claude Code first, give priority to
special Start; if it is Codex/GPT, just call it with the same Key, and the GPT fee will not change with Claude grouping.Note
For the complete model list, capability labels and real-time prices, please refer to Model Square; the grouping instructions in the document only help you understand the selection criteria when creating Key.
Checklist
