​
Keep your API Key secure

Use environment variables — never hardcode. Writing your API Key directly into source code or config files risks accidental exposure in version control. Recommended approach: 
# Add to ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc so it loads automatically each session
export LLMEASY_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
For Claude Code, manage secrets through the env field in settings.json rather than exposing them in your shell config: 
{
  "env": {
    "ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN": "your-api-key-here"
  }
}
Rotate your API Key periodically. If you suspect exposure, delete the key immediately from the dashboard and generate a new one.

​
Set a generous timeout

AI model responses can take time, especially for complex reasoning tasks. Set the timeout high enough to avoid premature disconnects: 
{
  "env": {
    "API_TIMEOUT_MS": "3000000"
  }
}
3000000 ms = 50 minutes. This is appropriate for deep reasoning or long agentic tasks.

​
Clear conflicting environment variables

If you’ve previously used the official Anthropic or OpenAI APIs — or another relay service — stale environment variables may override your LLMEasy config and silently send requests to the wrong endpoint. Before configuring LLMEasy, check and clear these: 
# Check if they exist
echo $ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN
echo $ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL
echo $OPENAI_API_KEY
echo $OPENAI_BASE_URL

# Clear them
unset ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN
unset ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL
unset OPENAI_API_KEY
unset OPENAI_BASE_URL

Claude Code: check the API Key group first

With a Claude_* key, do not set ANTHROPIC_MODEL, ANTHROPIC_SMALL_FAST_MODEL, ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL, or other model-specific variables. With a Codex_* key, add model mappings through ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_HAIKU_MODEL, ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL, and ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL. Do not mix the two setups, or requests may be routed to the wrong model. Disable non-essential traffic. Setting CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC=1 reduces background requests from Claude Code, reserving your API quota for actual coding tasks. Do not add /v1 to Claude Code. ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL should be https://www.llmeasy.ru.

​
Use one API Key across multiple tools

The same API Key works in Claude Code, Codex, and external tools. Quota is shared, which makes central management simpler. But the endpoint must match the protocol:
  • Claude Code / ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL: https://www.llmeasy.ru
  • Codex / OPENAI_BASE_URL / external tools: https://www.llmeasy.ru/v1
If you need to track usage separately per project or team, create multiple API Keys in the dashboard and assign one to each tool or project. For external tools, copy the model ID from the Codex group in the model plaza (https://www.llmeasy.ru/pricing).

​
Troubleshooting checklist

  1. Confirm the API Key is correct — check the dashboard, paste carefully with no extra spaces
  2. Confirm the endpoint for the protocol — Claude Code uses https://www.llmeasy.ru; Codex / external tools use https://www.llmeasy.ru/v1
  3. Check for conflicting env vars — run echo $ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN, echo $OPENAI_BASE_URL, and related commands
  4. Check the tool’s official setup requirements — for external tools, verify the Base URL, API key, model ID, and tool version first; only add extra headers when the tool’s official docs or your upstream gateway explicitly requires them
  5. Check your balance — requests are rejected when the balance is depleted
  6. Contact support — if the above steps don’t resolve the issue
