Quickstart
Get connected to 211API in five minutes: sign up, create a key, follow the guide for your tool, and start coding with top-tier AI tools.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or later installed locally (all three CLI tools ship via npm).
If Node.js is missing, download the LTS release from nodejs.org, then verify:
bash
node -v # should print v18 or higher
npm -vStep 1 · Sign up & create an API Key
- Open the 211API console and register.
- Create an API Key (starts with
sk-). - Keep the key safe — one key works across Claude Code, CodeX and Gemini CLI.
Step 2 · Remember the endpoint
All tools send their requests to the 211API relay:
https://www.211api.com/v1Claude Code uses the root address https://www.211api.com; CodeX and Gemini CLI use the /v1 address. Each guide states the exact value.
Step 3 · Pick a tool and follow its guide
| Tool | Best for | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | Coding / review / refactoring | Claude Code setup |
| CodeX | Task orchestration / automation | CodeX setup |
| Gemini CLI | High-frequency light calls | Gemini CLI setup |
Note
Available model names and channel multipliers are listed in the console under "Models". Every call's routing, token usage and multiplier details are visible there, entry by entry.
