Get API key

CLIProxyAPI

An open source proxy that serves CLI tools' sign-ins as an OpenAI-style API.

Set up CLIProxyAPI

The examples use MoonshotAI: Kimi K3, a live model on llm.buzz. Any model name from the Models page works.

  1. Create a key in the llm.buzz console under Keys, and keep it in the LLM_BUZZ_KEY environment variable.

  2. Add llm.buzz under openai-compatibility in CLIProxyAPI's config.yaml. The file takes the key itself, not a variable.

    config.yaml
    openai-compatibility:
      - name: "llmbuzz"
    Added:     base-url: "https://api.llm.buzz/api/v1"
        keys:
          - api-key: "exp_vk_..."
        models:
          - name: "moonshotai/kimi-k3"
            alias: "moonshotai/kimi-k3"
    
  3. Restart CLIProxyAPI. Its clients reach the model by its alias on CLIProxyAPI's own port, 8317 by default.
