Quickstart

Get a key from your dashboard, point your client at api.powapi.io, and start coding. Roughly two minutes.

#1. Create an API key

Sign up at app.powapi.io, open API keys, and create a key. Choose subscription if you're on a monthly plan, or pay-per-token if you're using your prepaid balance.

#2. Configure your editor or CLI

For an Anthropic-compatible client (e.g. Claude Code):

bash

export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://api.powapi.io/claudecode"
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="pk_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx"

For an OpenAI-compatible client (e.g. Cursor, Codex):

bash

export OPENAI_BASE_URL="https://api.powapi.io/v1"
export OPENAI_API_KEY="pk_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx"

#3. Use it

That's it. Run your tool the way you always do — powapi reads each turn, picks the right approach, and answers. No model picker, no per-call surprises.
