FAQ

Frequently asked questions about 3xCoder.

General

What is 3xCoder?

3xCoder is a unified AI API relay service. It provides a single, OpenAI-compatible endpoint (https://api.3xcoder.com) that lets you access multiple AI models — OpenAI GPT, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, and OpenAI Codex — through one API.

How do I get an account?

3xCoder is an invite-only service. Contact your sales representative to receive your account credentials. See Getting Your Account for details.

Which models are supported?

3xCoder supports models from multiple providers:

• OpenAI: GPT-4o, GPT-4, GPT-3.5 Turbo, Codex, DALL-E, Whisper, TTS
• Anthropic: Claude Opus, Claude Sonnet, Claude Haiku
• Google: Gemini Pro, Gemini Flash

The available model list depends on your account plan. Check the dashboard or call GET /v1/models to see your available models.

Is 3xCoder compatible with the OpenAI SDK?

Yes. 3xCoder is fully compatible with the OpenAI API format. Any tool, library, or SDK that supports the OpenAI API works with 3xCoder by simply changing the base URL to https://api.3xcoder.com/v1.

API & Usage

What is the base URL?

https://api.3xcoder.com

For OpenAI SDK usage, use https://api.3xcoder.com/v1 as the base URL.

Do I need separate API keys for each model?

No. A single 3xCoder API key works for all models. You switch models by changing the model parameter in your API request.

Does 3xCoder support streaming?

Yes. Set stream: true in your request to receive Server-Sent Events (SSE) streaming responses. This works for chat completions and is supported across all models.

Does 3xCoder support function calling / tools?

Yes. Function calling (tools) is supported for models that natively support it (GPT-4o, Claude, etc.). The API format follows the OpenAI tools specification.

What are the rate limits?

Rate limits depend on your account plan and per-key settings. You can view and adjust rate limits in the dashboard. If you need higher limits, contact your sales representative.

Are my requests logged or stored?

3xCoder does not store or log the content of your API requests or responses. Only metadata (token counts, model usage, timestamps) is retained for billing and usage tracking.

Tools & Apps

Which coding tools work with 3xCoder?

• Claude Code — Anthropic's coding assistant (Setup guide)
• CodeX CLI — OpenAI's coding tool (Setup guide)
• Gemini CLI — Google's Gemini interface (Setup guide)
• Hapi — Remote control for AI tools (Guide)
• Alma — Desktop AI client (Guide)
• CherryStudio — Multi-provider desktop client (Guide)
• OpenCode — AI coding assistant (Guide)
• OpenClaw — AI dashboard (Guide)

What is CC-Switch?

CC-Switch is a configuration tool that helps you set up Claude Code, CodeX, and Gemini CLI to use custom API endpoints like 3xCoder. It provides a graphical interface and handles the config file formats for each tool.

Can I use multiple tools simultaneously?

Yes. Each tool uses its own API key (or shares the same key), and they can all run at the same time. There's no conflict between tools.

Account & Billing

How do I change my password?

Log in to the dashboard and navigate to account settings to change your password.

Can I have multiple API keys?

Yes. You can create multiple API keys in the dashboard, each with its own name, quota, and rate limits. This is useful for separating development, staging, and production environments.

How do I track my usage?

The dashboard provides real-time usage statistics including token consumption, request counts, and per-model breakdowns.

What happens when I hit my quota?

When an API key's quota is exhausted, requests using that key will return a 429 error. You can increase the quota in the dashboard or wait for the next reset period.

Technical

Does 3xCoder support CORS?

Contact your sales representative if you need CORS support for browser-based applications.

What about latency?

3xCoder adds minimal overhead to API requests. The majority of response time comes from the upstream AI provider. For most use cases, the added latency is negligible.

Is there a status page?

For service status and uptime information, check the dashboard or contact your sales representative.
