Give Claude Code and Anthropic-compatible clients one base URL. The
hosted API uses models available to your TEKIZ.AI account. A local or
private router can use your authorized Anthropic access, local models,
and other providers you configure.
Point supported Claude-style clients at
ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://api.tekiz.ai for
hosted routing, or at a local/Tailnet TEKIZ.AI when provider
credentials should stay private.
Use services you approve
Configure an authorized Anthropic-compatible service on your own
router. When that service is unavailable, the router can try
another model you configured.
When a Claude-compatible service rate-limits
If a key or Claude-compatible service is rate-limited, TEKIZ.AI can try another authorized model you configured.
Send an Anthropic-compatible request
This tests the hosted API with your TEKIZ.AI key. Your own provider credentials stay on a router you control.
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://api.tekiz.ai
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk_tekiz_your_generated_key
curl "$ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL/v1/messages" \
-H "x-api-key: $ANTHROPIC_API_KEY" \
-H "anthropic-version: 2023-06-01" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"model": "tekizai/frontier",
"max_tokens": 200,
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Explain the main risks in this API design."}]
}'
Send files to services that accept them
Images, audio, video, and documents are sent only to models that can
handle that kind of input.
Use more than one account or key
TEKIZ.AI can share requests across the accounts and keys you
connect, then pause only the one that is unavailable or
rate-limited.
Use accounts you are allowed to use
Keep your Anthropic credential on a router you control. For hosted
routing, use models available to your TEKIZ.AI account.
Why put TEKIZ.AI in front of Claude-style tools?
Your tools keep the Anthropic interface they already use. TEKIZ.AI
checks which accounts and models are available, then can try an
allowed backup when one is configured and the first choice fails.
If your company approves only Anthropic, keep that boundary. TEKIZ.AI can reduce token burn by choosing eligible models. Your Anthropic account handles provider billing.
