OpenAI-compatible proxy

OpenAI Compatible API Proxy for Claude, GPT and Gemini

Keep your existing OpenAI SDK code. Point it at ClaudeN and instantly access GPT, Claude and Gemini through one compatible endpoint and one prepaid balance.

If you already use the OpenAI Python, Node.js or other SDKs, you can reach Claude and Gemini without rewriting your integration. ClaudeN acts as an OpenAI-compatible API proxy: set the base URL to https://clauden.ai/v1 and use your ClaudeN key. The request and response shapes stay identical to OpenAI.

Why use an OpenAI compatible API proxy

No code rewrite required

Your existing OpenAI SDK calls continue to work. Only the base URL and API key need to change.

One integration, three providers

Call GPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet or Gemini 1.5 Pro by changing only the model name in the same request format.

Prepaid USDT and PayPal billing

Add balance once with crypto or PayPal. Pay per token across all models with no credit card or recurring fees.

Works with your current tools

LangChain, LlamaIndex, LiteLLM, curl and any OpenAI-compatible client work without modification.

How to start using the OpenAI compatible proxy

  1. Create a ClaudeN account — Sign up with email. Receive free trial credit and an API key that works with any OpenAI SDK.
  2. Update your base URL — Set the base URL in your OpenAI client to https://clauden.ai/v1.
  3. Use your ClaudeN key — Replace the api_key with your ClaudeN key. Keep organization and other headers as they are.
  4. Select the model per call — Use model names like gpt-4o, claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022 or gemini-1.5-pro. The proxy routes to the right provider.

Minimal code change example

Only the base URL and API key change. Everything else stays the same.

OpenAI Python SDK from openai import OpenAI client = OpenAI( api_key="$CLAUDEN_API_KEY", base_url="https://clauden.ai/v1", ) resp = client.chat.completions.create( model="gpt-4o", messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello from ClaudeN proxy"}], ) print(resp.choices[0].message.content)
