CatCatCode gateway details

A third-party paid API relay built on the open-source New API project, with an OpenAI-compatible endpoint at https://catcatcode.com/v1; Claude models are also listed with an Anthropic endpoint type. Its public model catalog lists GPT and Claude models plus DeepSeek, GLM, Kimi, Doubao, MiniMax, and others, and its docs include setup guides for Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, and WorkBuddy. Model names and group descriptions are platform-reported and do not establish official authorization.

Best for: For individual users of agents such as Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, and WorkBuddy who want a fixed monthly budget; start with the lowest plan or a small top-up.

Status notes

The website, plans page, setup docs, and public pricing and plan APIs were accessible. Models and group descriptions are platform-reported; AI Beyond has not signed up, made paid requests, or tested latency. Top-up and checkout pages require sign-in, so payment methods remain unverified. No dedicated public status page has been verified.

Pricing mode

Subscription plans are bought one month at a time and do not auto-renew: Light CNY 99, Standard CNY 199, and Pro CNY 299, with daily allowances of $10 / $25 / $40 and monthly allowances of $300 / $700 / $1,100 in "official list-price quota", deducted at each model's official list price; the daily allowance resets and unused amounts do not carry over. Wallet top-ups are charged under the site's own billing rules; public group multipliers include gpt-plus 0.5, gpt-pro 0.8, workbuddy 0.6, claude max 2, and the domestic-model group 1, and actual charges also depend on model, input/output, and caching. The submitter says Alipay, WeChat, and credit card (Stripe) are supported; top-up and checkout pages require sign-in, so AI Beyond has not verified payment methods.

Free quota

Public pages list no free quota or free trial

Usually you create an API key in the platform console, then replace the SDK's baseURL, model name, and auth details per the docs. Test streaming, function calling, error codes, and rate limits before launch.

import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY,
  baseURL: "https://catcatcode.com/v1"
});

const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "gpt-5.5",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Test one call through an AI gateway." }]
});

• Supported models: OpenAI, Claude, DeepSeek, Moonshot, Doubao, GLM, MiniMax.
• Capabilities: OpenAI-compatible.
• Documentation completeness: Medium; stability not tested.

• Not an official OpenAI or Anthropic service; official authorization and upstream sources have not been verified. Public group descriptions call gpt-plus / gpt-pro "official Plus / Pro account pools", claude max a "Claude Max dedicated line", and gpt-official "OpenRouter official API"; AI Beyond has not verified these claims. A site announcement dated 2026-09-18 says gpt-5.6-luna was moved to the Terra line and billed at Terra's standard rate because the GPT upstream was unstable, so routes and billing may change at any time. The docs say signup automatically creates an API key that never expires and has no per-key spending cap; set your own quota limit and avoid sending sensitive data. Usage and balance are shown in the authenticated dashboard; this does not establish a public balance-query or log-query API. The site has no user agreement, privacy policy, or About content configured, and the docs direct users to a user group for support; the contact email provided by the submitter, support@catcatcode.com, is not shown on the website. No dedicated public status page or refund policy has been verified.
• Third-party relay pricing, models, and availability can change, so re-check them periodically.

Is CatCatCode compatible with the OpenAI API?

This entry is marked as supporting the OpenAI-compatible format, but the exact base_url, model names, and parameters still follow the official docs.

Is CatCatCode ready for production?

Run a small-traffic load test, rate-limit test, and error-code test first, and confirm the billing rules; keep a backup provider for important workloads.
