ChinaAPI

Estimate the USD cost of a workload on one model from its published per-meter prices: Standard, and Paid where it is lower. Pass quantities in the model's own units — tokens for text models, characters for speech synthesis, audio seconds for transcription, requests, images or video seconds for per-call and per-second models; a quantity the model does not price is refused. Tiered models are estimated tier by tier. The result is an estimate, not a quote.

Get one model by its exact ID: base URL and endpoints, the Standard and Paid price snapshot per meter with the time it was read and the price-book versions, context window and modalities, capability contract, limits, and ChinaAPI links (model page, a start link to try it, the agents guide). The live price on the model page is authoritative.

Get a runnable request for one model — endpoint, headers, JSON body or multipart form, a curl command, and for video the polling step — exactly as ChinaAPI's /agents page shows it. Optionally include the configuration that points a coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, …) at ChinaAPI. The request uses $CHINAAPI_KEY; never put a real key into it.

List the models ChinaAPI serves, optionally filtered by capability, task, maker or a model-ID substring. Each entry has the exact model ID, maker, capabilities and tasks, context window, headline Standard prices (and Paid prices where they are lower) and the model's ChinaAPI page. Sorted by maker, then model ID; page with cursor. Use chinaapi_get_model for one model's endpoints, full prices and limits.
