What you get with your kimi api key

Upon signing up, you gain access to a single, dedicated uncensored model hosted on our infrastructure. This endpoint is fully OpenAI-compatible, meaning your existing client code works without modification. You can send text prompts and receive text responses via the standard /v1/chat/completions endpoint. The model is tuned to answer without content refusals for lawful adult use, ensuring high fidelity for unrestricted scenarios.

Each key is tied to one account and supports up to 300 requests per minute. You can manage your access through the dashboard, where you can view usage metrics and manage your active key. The service supports streaming via Server-Sent Events (SSE), allowing you to receive token-by-token responses for real-time applications. Function calling, JSON mode, and standard sampling parameters like temperature and top_p are all available out of the box.

Billing and trial credit details

Every new account receives $0.50 in trial credit, valid for 7 days. This allows you to test the uncensored api key without any financial commitment. No card is needed to start. Once the trial expires or you wish to continue, you can top up using cryptocurrency only. We accept USDT (TRC20) and USDC (Base) for amounts between $10 and $500. Payments are charged based on real token usage, and errors or refusals are free. Your credit never expires, so you can top up whenever convenient.

If you experience issues like a double charge, you can request a fix through our Support page. Credit is non-refundable but remains available for your use. You can replace your active key at any time if you suspect it has been leaked, ensuring your kimiaapi.cc access remains secure.

Questions and answers

Is a credit card needed to get the api key?

No, a credit card is not required to sign up or receive your kimi api key. You can use the "Continue with Google" option or create an account with just an email and password. The trial credit of $0.50 is also provided without any payment method attached.

What happens when my trial credit ends?

When your $0.50 trial credit is exhausted or expires after 7 days, your API key remains active but will stop processing new requests until you add funds. You can top up with crypto to continue using the service. Your existing key works seamlessly with your new balance.

How do I replace a leaked key?

You can generate a new key directly from your dashboard. The new key immediately becomes active, and the old one is invalidated. This is useful if you suspect your uncensored api key has been exposed in a public repository or log. You can create a new key as many times as needed.

Can I use my kimiaapi.cc key with any OpenAI SDK?

Yes, the endpoint is fully compatible with the official OpenAI SDKs and other OpenAI-compatible clients. You only need to update the base_url to https://api.kimiapi.cc/v1 and insert your new key. This works for Python, Node.js, and other supported languages without changing your request structure.
