3-minute tour

Four steps: register → top up → create an API key → drop key + base URL into your client.

1. Register

Open https://bridge.pulseneko.com/sign-up:

• Sign up with email + password
• Paste the 6-digit verification code from email
• Agree to User Agreement & Privacy Policy
• Complete Turnstile, click Create account
• After sign-in you can bind a Passkey / enable 2FA in Profile

See Register for details.

2. Top up

Dashboard → Wallet → Add funds:

• Pick a preset (USD) or enter a custom amount
• Amount due auto-converts to CNY
• Choose Alipay or WeChat and scan the QR

Stripe (cards / Apple Pay) is coming soon. See Top up.

3. Create an API key

Dashboard → API Keys → top-right Create API key:

• Name — memo for yourself
• Group — decides which models and what multiplier (see Groups)
• Expiry — defaults to "never"
• Quantity — usually 1
• Unlimited quota — on by default (shares account balance)

The sk-… string is shown only once. Copy it immediately.

See Create an API key.

4. Use it

Pick whichever client you actually use; the rest follow the same pattern.

Codex CLI

~/.codex/config.toml:

model = "gpt-5.1-codex"
model_provider = "pulseneko"

[model_providers.pulseneko]
name = "PulseNeko Bridge"
base_url = "https://bridge.pulseneko.com/v1"
wire_api = "responses"

OpenAI SDK

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://bridge.pulseneko.com/v1",
    api_key="sk-your-key",
)

resp = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-5.1",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)

See OpenAI-compatible SDK.

Anthropic SDK

import anthropic

client = anthropic.Anthropic(
    base_url="https://bridge.pulseneko.com",
    api_key="sk-your-key",
)

msg = client.messages.create(
    model="claude-opus-4-7",
    max_tokens=1024,
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
)
print(msg.content[0].text)

See Anthropic SDK.

Troubleshooting

• 401 — wrong key or whitespace got into Authorization: Bearer sk-...
• 403 — model not in this key's group; switch group or model
• 429 — upstream throttled, retry with backoff
• 5xx — usually upstream wobble, check Usage Logs for the upstream error
