StarSeaAPI

LobeChat

OPENAI_PROXY_URL

LobeChat reads the endpoint from an environment variable when self-hosted, which makes it easy to deploy one instance for a whole team.

Code

OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-key
OPENAI_PROXY_URL=https://starseaapi.com/v1

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.
