Verify & troubleshoot
Send a short prompt and check Activity. If models are missing, verify the list with the same API key:
curl "https://api.cheapai.gay/v1/models" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"- 401: replace the placeholder with your actual key and check that it is enabled.
- 402: top up that key or start an hourly plan in the wallet.
- 404: refresh the model list and check the endpoint. Use https://api.cheapai.gay/v1 as the base URL.
- Tool errors: select a tool-capable text model and read the tool calling guide.
