For beginners
Introduction
The simplest walkthrough: what Zukko is, where to send requests, and how not to get lost.
In one sentence
Zukko is a single “outlet” for AI. You connect api.zukko.pro once with a fetch_... key, then call Claude, GPT, and other models as if they were one provider.
Three things to know
- API key — a secret like
fetch_xxxxxfrom the dashboard → API keys. Never share it. - API host —
https://api.zukko.pro. That is Zukko’s server, not Anthropic/OpenAI directly. - Model — a string like
claude-sonnet-5orgpt-4oin the requestmodelfield.
Which URL to use
| Tool | Base URL |
|---|---|
| Cursor / OpenAI SDK / most IDEs | https://api.zukko.pro/v1 |
| Claude Code / Anthropic SDK | https://api.zukko.pro |
Both hit the same Zukko gateway. Only the request shape differs (OpenAI-style vs Anthropic-style).
First request without pain
- Sign up at zukko.pro.
- Top up balance (otherwise requests fail).
- Create a
fetch_...key. - Paste the key and base URL into your IDE or curl.
- Send a short prompt — if you get a reply, you’re good.
Minimal curl (Anthropic-style):
curl https://api.zukko.pro/v1/messages \
-H "Authorization: Bearer fetch_YOUR_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "anthropic-version: 2023-06-01" \
-d '{"model":"claude-sonnet-5","max_tokens":256,"messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]}'Common mistakes
- 401 / unauthorized — bad or missing key. Check
Bearer fetch_.... - 402 / insufficient funds — top up in the dashboard.
- 404 / model not found — typo in the model name. See the models list in the docs.
- Still pointing at the provider URL — the IDE must use
api.zukko.pro, notapi.anthropic.comorapi.openai.com.
Download API for AI
This is a knowledge base for the full Zukko API: URLs, keys, models, request examples, integrations.
Download one file and drop it into ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or any other AI — it will know the full API and can write code / configs correctly.
MD — best for AIs (recommended). TXT, DOC, and PDF are also available.
