Choose Your Tool
Complete your first request or an HTTP test to verify the key and model before configuring a client. If you are unfamiliar with the command line, start with Cherry Studio.
Choose by workflow
| Goal | Recommended guide |
|---|---|
| Connect a chat client first | Cherry Studio |
| Work on a project with a coding assistant | Codex, Claude Code, DeepSeek Harness |
| Submit generation tasks, wait, and download automatically | n8n generation workflow |
| Refine a prompt with an LLM, then submit a media task | Dify workflow |
| Query tasks and save results directly in an application | Python polling |
| Integrate using API parameters | Generation APIs |
Video, music, and other task models may not work when entered directly in a chat client's model field. Check whether the client can make the required HTTP requests, retain the task ID, and retrieve results. If it cannot, use an HTTP workflow or application script.
General setup flow
- Create an API Key in the console.
- Copy an available model ID from the model catalog.
- Choose the provider type required by your tool, then enter the Base URL and API Key.
- Send a short message, confirm you receive a result, and check the console's usage records.
Which address should you enter?
| Connection method | Example address | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| OpenAI-compatible SDK | https://certaedge.com/v1 | SDKs usually append chat/completions or responses |
| Claude Code | https://certaedge.com | Anthropic clients usually append /v1/messages |
| Cherry Studio 2.1.10 custom provider's OpenAI endpoint | https://certaedge.com | Preview must end in /v1/chat/completions; select a model and use Verify and enable |
| Custom HTTP request | https://certaedge.com/v1/chat/completions | Enter the complete endpoint and do not append the same path again |
Tools differ in how they handle trailing slashes, version paths, and endpoint suffixes. Follow the guide for your tool and installed version.
Check before use
- Model IDs, available groups, permissions, and prices depend on your account's current model catalog and console.
- Configuration diagrams explain the fields; they do not mean every client version has been tested.
- For a first connection, set a controlled quota and make one short request before connecting automated workflows.
