gpt88 AI Relay: Unified API Access for OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini

gpt88 is a unified AI relay and large-model gateway for developers, covering OpenAI-compatible APIs, Claude-compatible routing, Gemini image generation, domestic routes, overseas routes, and transparent RMB-based billing.

What the gpt88 AI relay is

gpt88.cc acts as an AI relay and unified gateway for developers and teams. The goal is not to force a brand-new protocol. The goal is to normalize the most common access patterns into a more stable entry point.

Why teams use an AI relay

When a team uses GPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Qwen, image models, and video models together, the vendor endpoints, auth styles, error formats, model naming, and network routes often differ. A relay reduces that integration sprawl.

  • Use a consistent gateway for many model vendors.
  • Choose domestic or overseas routing by environment.
  • Reuse one setup pattern across SDKs, desktop tools, and workflow systems.

Core capabilities

  • OpenAI-compatible routing at https://api.gpt88.cc.
  • Claude / Anthropic-compatible routing through the standard API Base URL.
  • Gemini image generation and video generation through the dedicated media route at https://img.gpt88.cc.
  • Model navigation across chat, image, video, and audio categories.
  • Integration docs for ChatBox, Cherry Studio, Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, Cline, Dify, and more.

Base URL selection

The most common integration mistake is the wrong Base URL. OpenAI-style clients usually require/v1. Claude-style clients usually do not.

Standard API Base URL:
https://api.gpt88.cc

Direct image / video Base URL:
https://img.gpt88.cc

Standard APIs use /v1/...; native Gemini image APIs use /v1beta/...

Minimal request example

Use cURL first to confirm that the relay path, key, and model are valid.

gpt88-ai-proxy-smoke-test.shbash
export GPT88_API_KEY="sk-your-gpt88-api-key"

curl https://api.gpt88.cc/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GPT88_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gpt-5-2-chat-latest",
    "messages": [
      {"role": "user", "content": "Introduce the gpt88 AI relay in one sentence"}
    ]
  }'

For full SDK examples, continue with Python SDK, Node.js SDK, and cURL.

Which tools it fits

  • OpenAI SDK, cURL, Cursor, and Cline through https://api.gpt88.cc.
  • Claude Code and Anthropic-style SDKs through https://api.gpt88.cc.
  • Gemini / NanoBanana image flows through the dedicated Gemini image API route.
  • Workflow systems such as Dify through the OpenAI-compatible provider path.

Token power billing mindset

token-powertext
Traditional points-based relay:
top up → convert to virtual credits / points → apply multipliers → manually reverse real cost

gpt88.cc:
1 RMB topped up = 1 RMB balance
actual deduction (RMB) = official usage (USD) x selected group multiplier
group multipliers are shown in the API Keys group selector
lower multipliers mean lower unit cost
