Chinese API relay terms, explained

Terms used by Chinese API relay sites in group names and announcements, with plain-English meanings. Each entry lists its sources.

公益站 — Gongyi (public-welfare) site

gongyi zhan, public-welfare / charity site

A relay site or group that the site owner opens for free or at a very low price; credit is mostly claimed through sign-up, daily check-in or redemption codes, is often limited, and may change at any time.

"Gongyi" is also used as a marketing label for low-priced groups (e.g. "semi-gongyi", "ultra-low-price gongyi models"); these are not free.

Free credit

令牌 — token (API key)

lingpai, token / tally

The API key a site issues to a user; New API can assign a token to a group, and it is billed at that group's rate multiplier.

In samples, "official token" means the credential of an upstream official account/key, not a token issued by this site (CORPUS_OBSERVED).

Sites and frameworks

额度 — credit

edu, quota / limit

The accounting unit for a site balance; by default New API counts 500,000 credit units as US$1, and calls deduct it according to rate multipliers.

The usage cap of an upstream subscription account, such as the 5-hour or weekly quota of a Claude/ChatGPT plan (CORPUS_OBSERVED).

Billing and prices

站长 — site owner

zhanzhang, site chief

The operator of a relay site; some groups require contacting them to be enabled.

Sites and frameworks

    模型映射 — model mapping

    The site replaces the model name in a request with another upstream model name before forwarding it, so the model actually called may differ.

    When a listing says a model "is mapped", it often means another model is actually behind that name; users need to judge for themselves (CORPUS_OBSERVED).

    Sites and frameworks

    上游 — upstream

    shangyou, upstream

    The supplier that a relay site actually calls.

    Sites and frameworks

      倍率 — rate multiplier

      beilv, multiplier

      Billing multiplier. In New API, credit deducted = (input + output × completion multiplier) × model multiplier × group multiplier.

      The community also calls the top-up ratio the "top-up multiplier", and uses "X multiplier" loosely for a discount relative to the official price (COMMUNITY_USAGE).

      Billing and prices

      1:1 — 1:1

      Two uses: topping up 1 yuan gives US$1 of credit; or a rate multiplier of 1, billed at the official price.

      A rate multiplier of 1, i.e. billed at the official price (COMMUNITY_USAGE).

      Billing and prices

      刀 — dao (US dollar)

      dao, literally 'knife'

      Dao is slang for the US dollar; it often means US$1 of credit.

      Billing and prices

        按次计费 — per-request billing

        A fixed fee per request, regardless of the number of tokens.

        Billing and prices

          按量计费 — usage-based billing

          Billed by token usage.

          Billing and prices

            按秒计费 — per-second billing

            Billed by generation duration; mostly seen with video models.

            Billing and prices

              原价 — official price

              yuanjia, original price

              A price equal to the official pricing.

              Billing and prices

                特价 — special price

                tejia, special price

                A discounted price labeled by the site; by itself it is not an access requirement.

                Billing and prices

                  限时 — limited-time

                  The site states that this is a limited-time price.

                    Billing and prices

                      套餐 — plan (package)

                      taocan, set meal / bundle

                      A fixed price for a period of time or a set amount of usage.

                        不退 — no refunds

                        No refund after topping up or purchasing.

                        Usage terms

                          跑量 — high volume

                          paoliang, run volume

                          The site says it has a large supply, or that heavy users can negotiate the price.

                          Billing and prices

                            官方 — official

                            guanfang, official

                            The site claims its supply goes through the official API or official subscription accounts of the vendor or a cloud platform; the word is also often used only as an "official price" reference.

                            (1) Price reference: "80% of official full price", "official 0.36x", "cheaper than official" and "official -85.7%" only use official pricing for comparison and say nothing about supply (by rough count, about 130/1012 groups mention "official" only in a price or official-client context); (2) client restriction: "official CLI only", "only usable in the official Claude client"; (3) "official max account pool" and "official subscription 20x" mean real subscription accounts, not the official API.

                            Upstream sources

                            官key — official key

                            guan key, official key

                            The site claims supply comes from official API keys issued by the vendor or a cloud platform (e.g. Azure, AWS).

                            The variant guanhao (official account) is not the same as an official key: in the corpus (27 groups / 15 sites) it mostly means official subscription accounts ("claude max20 official account", "Grok Heavy official account | grok heavy account pool", "GPT Pro official account | gpt pro account pool"), synonymous with account pool/subscription.

                            Upstream sources

                            官转 — official relay

                            guanzhuan, official forwarding

                            The site claims "forwarding through official channels": mostly forwarding the official API, but some sites also call a Max subscription account pool or a cloud channel an official relay.

                            Another use the corpus confirms is calling a subscription account pool an official relay: api.aabao.top "Claude official relay | max channel", api.ccode.vip "CC official relay MAX-t | official repost max pool", aifastgo.cn "cc official relay full-strength account pool", new.yihubang.top "cc-max official relay"; it is also used for cloud and aggregator platforms: aokapi.com "aws official relay", nxaiapp.com "azure official relay openai", qinzhiai.com "openrouter official relay".

                            Upstream sources

                            逆向 — reverse-engineered

                            nixiang, reverse (engineering)

                            Not using the official API; it emulates the private interfaces of the web app, subscription accounts or IDE clients and turns them into an API.

                            (1) Usage restriction: "no reverse engineering, penetration or distillation", "reverse engineering and jailbreaking allowed" and "reverse engineering for security learning and research" refer to software reverse-engineering/security requests, not supply (17 groups / 10 sites in the corpus); (2) the scope differs by site: Kiro, Antigravity, awsq, and even "Claude Bedrock reverse" (a v2ex ad post) are all called reverse.

                            Upstream sources

                            反代 — reverse proxy

                            fandai, short for reverse proxy

                            Proxying the internal interfaces of subscription accounts or clients (e.g. Kiro, Cursor) and selling them as an API; often used interchangeably with reverse-engineered.

                            The general networking sense of "reverse proxy": just forwarding some interface (e.g. "gpt-azure-reverse-proxy" in the corpus). The corpus also has "official key, not reverse proxy" and "direct API relay, not a reverse proxy", contrasted with direct official relay.

                            Upstream sources

                            Kiro — Kiro

                            Calls converted from the account quota of Kiro, a coding tool from Amazon AWS; mostly Claude models.

                            "aws", "cc-aws" and "awsq/aws-q" also often mean Kiro or Amazon Q channels (among groups containing aws, 48 also mention kiro and 19 mention aws-q); kiropower = Kiro Power tier ($200/month); "kiro enterprise account" = a Kiro Enterprise (IAM Identity Center/IdC) account; krio is a common misspelling.

                            Upstream sources

                            反重力 — Antigravity

                            fanzhongli, antigravity

                            Calls converted from the account quota of Google's Antigravity development platform; includes both Gemini and Claude.

                            In the corpus, anti almost always means Antigravity (40 groups write only anti and not fanzhongli, e.g. anti-cc, gemini-anti); "ant" is ambiguous ("claude-ant-subscription billing" may mean Anthropic), so adding it as a variant is not recommended. In "antigravity ultra/pro mixed account pool", ultra/pro refer to Google AI subscription tiers.

                            Upstream sources

                            IDE 渠道 — IDE channel

                            Calls converted from the subscription quota of coding tools such as Cursor, Windsurf and GitHub Copilot.

                            wf = Windsurf (e.g. "cc-wf | claudecode windsurf"); the variant trae (ByteDance's TRAE IDE) is in the list but not in the matching rules, with only 2 groups in the corpus; "workbuddy reverse proxy" is the same kind but not included; api.shiro.uno "Grok full-strength 0.1x | cursor pro full-strength" is Grok sourced from Cursor.

                            Upstream sources

                            Gemini CLI 渠道 — Gemini CLI channel

                            Gemini calls converted from the quota of Google accounts (including enterprise licenses) logged in through Gemini CLI.

                            Client restriction: "Gemini CLI only/exclusive", "only for gemini cli, not for general chat" and "usable in gemini cli" mean it can only, or can, be used in the Gemini CLI client (9 groups / 7 sites); the supply may come from elsewhere (api.duckcoding.ai "Gemini CLI only-Antigravity | reverse antigravity"). "cli enterprise account pool" means Code Assist enterprise-licensed accounts.

                            Upstream sources

                            号池 — account pool

                            haochi, account pool

                            Supplying calls by pooling a batch of accounts (sometimes API keys) and calling them in rotation; mostly subscription accounts.

                            "key pool", "t1key pool" and "openai official key pool" mean pools of API keys, not accounts; "mixed pool/mixed account pool" means different tiers or sources mixed together ("plus, team, pro mixed pool", "ccmax-official key-awsb-top-tier mixed pool").

                            Upstream sources

                            订阅 — subscription

                            The upstream is the usage quota of monthly subscription accounts such as ChatGPT, Claude, Grok or Kiro.

                            The site's own monthly plans: "subscription billing", "subscription plan default group", "monthly card subscription" and "subscriptions use the 70%-price group" refer to this site's billing method, not supply (38/176 groups, 11 sites in the corpus).

                            Upstream sources

                            Max 号 — Max account

                            Claude Max subscription accounts used as upstream; 5x/20x are usage tiers relative to Pro ($100/$200).

                            A standalone "max" is often not Claude Max: qwen-max, site tier names ("Chinese models Max", "GPT models Max"), Kiro Pro Max, Copilot Max, "set thinking level to max", "max quality". 45 groups match the max rule but have no Claude model, and there are others, such as Kiro "Pro Max", that do contain Claude models.

                            Upstream sources

                            Plus/Pro/Team 号 — Plus/Pro/Team account

                            ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business and other subscription accounts used as upstream; mostly used for Codex.

                            plus/pro/team are also often other vendors' tiers or site tier names: Claude Team ("claudemax 20x, claude team"), Kiro Pro+ ("CC Kiro Plus"), Grok "super/plus/heavy", qwen plus, "Chinese models Plus" (30 groups match the rule but have no GPT model); in the community "pro20x" means the $200 Pro tier (not confirmed word for word on the official page); "k12" means education accounts.

                            Upstream sources

                            AWS / Bedrock — AWS / Bedrock

                            AWS upstream: mostly Bedrock (awsb); some sites also call Kiro and Amazon Q channels aws.

                            aws also refers to Kiro/Amazon Q Developer channels: of 454 groups containing aws, 48 also write kiro (e.g. "claude kiro-aws", "kiro aws enterprise channel") and 19 write aws-q/awsq; only 222 explicitly write bedrock or awsb. There is also a "Claude Platform on AWS" route, not yet seen in the corpus.

                            Upstream sources

                            Azure — Azure

                            The upstream is models on Microsoft's Azure cloud; mostly OpenAI, with some Claude.

                            Upstream sources

                              Vertex / AI Studio — Vertex / AI Studio

                              The upstream is Google Cloud Vertex AI or AI Studio.

                              Upstream sources

                                国内云平台 — Chinese cloud platform

                                guonei yun pingtai, domestic cloud platform

                                The upstream is a platform in China, such as Volcano Engine or Alibaba Cloud Bailian.

                                  OpenRouter — OpenRouter

                                  The upstream is the OpenRouter aggregation platform.

                                    qiye hao, enterprise account

                                    An enterprise account means a vendor's enterprise/team edition account (e.g. Kiro Enterprise); "enterprise dedicated line" is mostly the site's own description of its line.

                                    "Enterprise dedicated line/enterprise line/enterprise channel" (37 groups / 34 sites that do not say "enterprise account") are mostly the sites' own descriptions of lines aimed at business customers (high concurrency, invoicing, "cybersecurity enterprise channel") and do not specify the supply.

                                    Upstream sources

                                    自建/自营 — self-built/self-operated

                                    The site claims an upstream or deployment that it maintains itself.

                                      三方 — third-party

                                      The upstream comes from other relays or third-party platforms.

                                      "Third-party client / third-party tool" refers to apps, not upstream sources; it is excluded when filtering by upstream.

                                        聚合/混合 — aggregated/mixed

                                        Multiple upstreams mixed together and allocated automatically depending on conditions.

                                        Upstream sources

                                          兜底/备用 — fallback/backup

                                          A backup channel used when the main channel is unavailable.

                                            maozi, literally 'hairy ones', slang for Russians

                                            A colloquial (derogatory) term for Russians; sites use it for supply related to Russia, without stating the actual source.

                                                        Requires contacting the site owner to enable it manually.

                                                        Access requirements

                                                          仅限特定用户 — specific users only

                                                          The site states it is open only to businesses, large customers or resellers.

                                                          Access requirements

                                                            VIP/SVIP — VIP/SVIP

                                                            Mostly just a group or tier name; it only counts as an access requirement when the description states a top-up threshold, VIP-only access or a monthly pass.

                                                            (1) VIP as a user level: descriptions such as "vip after discount x2.55", "regular users 2x, svip1.8x" and "free for svip" mean in-site VIP users get a separate price and the listed multiplier is the regular-user price; (2) in white-label templates, vip/svip/ssvip/vvip denote channel types, not user levels: 8 sites including bltcy.ai, comfly.org, t8star.org, apilio.ai and kg-api.cloud uniformly use vip = reverse-engineered usage-based, vvip = reverse-engineered per-request, svip = pure Azure, ssvip = pure OpenAI.

                                                            Tier names

                                                              企业 — enterprise

                                                              Mostly a label for a stable premium tier or an upstream enterprise account type; it only counts as a restriction when it states enterprise users only.

                                                              "Enterprise edition/enterprise pool/enterprise/business" often refer to the upstream account source (e.g. ChatGPT Enterprise/Team accounts, Gemini Enterprise), not a requirement that the buyer be a business.

                                                                The group only accepts requests from the official Claude Code client; other apps are rejected or routed to another group.

                                                                "CC only / use in CC" sometimes only means the group offers an interface format that can connect to Claude Code (e.g. GPT, DeepSeek, GLM or Grok converted to the Claude protocol), not a client lock.

                                                                Client-restricted

                                                                Can only be called from Codex.

                                                                    "External channel/external supplier/externally connected/external XX account pool": the group's upstream is connected from an outside supplier and not run by the site itself (e.g. qiuqiutoken "external supplier", jucodex "[external]-codex external channel", api.sqface.sbs "externally connected, intelligence not guaranteed", everygpt "external grokheavy account pool").

                                                                        In reverse-engineered channels such as Kiro, "official injection" means the system prompt built into the upstream client (toumingx "kiro personal channel | official injection"); the security sense of a prompt injection attack is not seen in the corpus.

                                                                              Site quality claims

"banana 2" = Nano Banana 2, "banana pro" = Nano Banana Pro, "banana 2.1" = Nano Banana 2.1, "nb" = abbreviation of Nano Banana. This entry comes only from catalog observation.

                                                                                                                        Billing and prices

                                                                                                                          Billing and prices
