FAQ
Q: Can one API key configure multiple clients?
The same I Code Easy API key can be used with Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI, but each client still needs its own protocol-specific configuration. Follow the multi-client setup guide for each client.
Q: Where can I check current prices, balance, and usage?
RMB prices and rate information can change, so check the public pricing surface, dashboard pricing, or public pricing API. The dashboard also shows balance, request logs, token usage, and billing breakdowns where available; see the pricing, balance, and usage guide.
Q: How are API request data and privacy handled?
Request content and metadata support routing, usage calculation, security, and support. Request and response bodies are generally not persistently stored except for the operational, security, and other necessary cases listed in the privacy policy; read the request data and privacy guide and full privacy policy.
Q: Does model support mean every client protocol is supported?
No. A model, client, and request protocol combination can have different capabilities or limits, so confirm the specific combination first. See the model capabilities catalog.
Q: What should I do if my API Key leaks?
Open the API Keys page and click "Rotate Key" immediately. The old key becomes invalid at once.
Q: Why do requests return 401?
Check:
- Whether the API Key is correct
- Whether the API Key has expired or been disabled
- Whether environment variables or config files are set correctly
- Whether you reopened the terminal after changing environment variables
Q: Why do requests return 429?
This means the request rate is too high. Retry later. Add retry logic in your code when appropriate.
Q: Why do Windows environment variables not take effect?
After setting environment variables, you need to open a new PowerShell window.
Q: What if api.icodeeasy.cc is slow?
Switch the Base URL to an I Code Easy backup endpoint: https://jp.icodeeasy.cc or https://sg.icodeeasy.cc.
