StarSeaAPI

Aider

--openai-api-base

Aider takes the endpoint on the command line or through environment variables. It edits files and re-sends the repository context frequently, so a cache-friendly low-cost model is usually the right default.

Code

export OPENAI_API_BASE="https://starseaapi.com/v1"
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-your-key"
aider --model openai/deepseek-v4.1-flash

Quickstart

1. Create an API key — Sign up, then create a token in the console. A key works across the whole catalogue; scope and quota can be restricted per key.
2. Point your client at the endpoint — Set base_url to https://starseaapi.com/v1 and use the key. Any OpenAI-compatible SDK, IDE or desktop client works.
3. Pick a model — Start with a low-cost tier for prototyping. Every id in the catalogue can be swapped without touching code.
4. Watch cost, not just quality — Output tokens are usually priced at a multiple of input, and reasoning models emit thinking tokens. Keep stable prompt prefixes first so caching applies.
