Quota developer quickstart

Use Quota through a standard OpenAI-compatible API, issue your own API keys, and choose the route that fits the task.

Quickstart

1. Buy a prepaid Quota Token pack.
2. Create a Quota API key in the dashboard.
3. Send requests to the base URL with a model alias such as quota/sonnet.

Base URL

https://api.quota.host/v1

API key format

qta_live_...

Model aliases

quota/fast

Quick tasks, low-cost coding

quota/balanced

Daily coding and chat

quota/sonnet

Stronger coding route

quota/sonnet-pro

Advanced reasoning and code edits

quota/opus

Deep tasks and complex refactors

quota/opus-max

Highest-cost route for heavy reasoning

Streaming

Streaming support depends on the selected route. Check route availability and test with your Quota API key before wide rollout.

Controlled user note

Do not send highly sensitive data through best-effort community routes. Route multipliers apply to total token usage.
