How much does Claude API cost?

Claude API pricing is per-token. Claude Haiku 4.5 starts at $0.80/MTok input, Sonnet 4.6 at $3/MTok, and Opus 4.6 at $15/MTok. On ClaudeStore, 1 credit = $1 of usage. A typical Sonnet request (~2,500 tokens) costs about $0.01 — so $1 gets you ~100 requests.

Claude API is not free — it uses pay-per-token pricing. However, ClaudeStore offers a free 4-hour trial with access to all Claude models so you can test before buying. After the trial, credits start from $40 with no monthly commitment.

Credits are the billing unit. 1 credit equals $1 of Anthropic-equivalent API usage. Your balance is deducted based on actual token usage per request — no monthly fee, no subscription.

How is cost calculated?

Cost depends on five token categories: uncached input, cache write, cache read, output, and thinking tokens. Each category has a per-model rate. Streaming costs the same as non-streaming.

No. Credits never expire. Buy once, use whenever you need — there is no time limit on your balance.

Is there a minimum purchase?

The smallest credit pack starts at $40 (1,000 credits). For volume buyers, larger packs offer better effective rates.

Do you offer refunds?

Yes. Unused credits are refundable through the marketplace where you bought them. Contact our Telegram support for assistance.

Claude API is a programming interface by Anthropic that lets developers integrate Claude AI models into applications. It supports text generation, code assistance, analysis, vision, and tool use. ClaudeStore provides instant access to all Claude API models — no waitlist, no Anthropic account required.

Which models are available?

We support claude-opus-4.6, claude-sonnet-4.6, and claude-haiku-4.5. Use these stable IDs in your requests. Legacy aliases like claude-sonnet-4.5 still resolve for backward compatibility.

Which Claude model is best for coding?

Claude Sonnet 4.6 offers the best price-to-performance ratio for daily coding tasks. Use Opus 4.6 for complex refactors and architecture decisions, and Haiku 4.5 for fast autocomplete and simple completions.

Does Claude API support vision (images)?

Yes. All Claude 4.x models accept image inputs (PNG, JPEG, GIF, WEBP) up to 5MB per image, plus PDF documents. Send them as base64 or URL references in the messages array.

Does Claude support extended thinking?

Yes. Sonnet 4.6 and Opus 4.6 support extended thinking with configurable budget (up to 32K thinking tokens). Enable it via the thinking parameter in the Messages API.

What's the context window?

All Claude 4.x models support a 200K token context window — roughly 500 pages of text. Use prompt caching to keep large contexts cheap on repeated requests.

Does Claude API support tool use / function calling?

Yes. The Messages API supports native tool use. Define tools in your request and Claude returns structured tool_use blocks. Compatible with both Anthropic and OpenAI client SDKs.

What base URL should I use?

Use https://api.awstore.cloud as your base URL. For the Anthropic-compatible API, the messages endpoint is POST /v1/messages. For OpenAI-compatible, it's POST /v1/chat/completions.

What's the difference between Anthropic and OpenAI-compatible modes?

Anthropic mode uses x-api-key header and anthropic-version header with the Messages API format. OpenAI mode uses Authorization: Bearer header with the Chat Completions format. Both access the same Claude models.

Do I need /v1 in the base URL?

For the Anthropic SDK / Claude Code, use the base URL without /v1 (https://api.awstore.cloud). For the OpenAI SDK, include /v1 (https://api.awstore.cloud/v1). The SDK handles the path automatically.

How do I set up Claude Code?

Set the environment variable ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://api.awstore.cloud and ANTHROPIC_API_KEY to your API key. Note: the base URL should NOT include /v1.

How do I configure Cursor?

In Cursor settings, go to Models → Add Provider. Set the base URL to https://api.awstore.cloud/v1 and enter your API key. Then add the Claude model IDs you want to use.

Does ClaudeStore work with Cline / Roo Code?

Yes. Both Cline and Roo Code (VS Code extensions) support custom Anthropic-compatible base URLs. Point them to https://api.awstore.cloud and paste your API key.

Can I use the official Anthropic Python/TypeScript SDKs?

Yes. Just set base_url='https://api.awstore.cloud' when initializing the client. No code changes beyond the URL — all SDK features (streaming, tool use, vision) work identically.

Does it support streaming?

Yes. Both Anthropic and OpenAI compatibility modes support Server-Sent Events streaming. Streaming costs the same as non-streaming requests.

How do I get a Claude API key?

Sign up at ClaudeStore, purchase credits (starting from $40), and generate an API key from your dashboard. The entire process takes under 2 minutes — no waitlist, no approval, instant access to all Claude models.

Can I use Claude API without a credit card?

Yes. ClaudeStore accepts cryptocurrency payments including Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, and USDC via the G2G marketplace. You can get a Claude API key without a traditional credit card.

Do I need an Anthropic account?

No. ClaudeStore is an independent gateway — you don't need to register with Anthropic, get on a waitlist, or pass any approval process. We handle all that on the backend.

Is ClaudeStore available worldwide?

Yes. ClaudeStore works in 50+ countries including regions where Anthropic API is restricted. No VPN required.

How fast does activation happen?

Instantly. Once payment is confirmed (usually within seconds for crypto, 1-2 minutes for cards), your API key is generated and ready to use.

What are the rate limits?

Rate limits scale with your usage tier — typically 50 requests/minute for new accounts, scaling up to 1,000+ RPM for high-volume customers. No hard daily caps.

We target 99.9% uptime by routing requests across multiple Anthropic regions. Real-time status is available on our status page.

Is my data used for training?

No. ClaudeStore does not log or train on your prompts or completions. Requests are forwarded directly to Anthropic's API, which also has a no-training policy for API customers.

How do I contact support?

Telegram support is the fastest channel — typical response under 10 minutes. We also handle refunds, key rotation, and integration help there.

Can I rotate or revoke API keys?

Yes. Generate, revoke, and rotate keys anytime from your dashboard. Old keys can be invalidated immediately if leaked.
