Claude Code API by ClaudeStore is a unified API gateway that gives developers access to all Anthropic Claude models through a single API key. It supports the Anthropic Messages API (POST /v1/messages) and the OpenAI Chat Completions API (POST /v1/chat/completions). The base URL is https://api2.claudestore.store. Available models include Claude Opus 4.6 (with 1M token beta context), Opus 4.6, Sonnet 4.6, and Haiku 4.5. Short aliases opus, sonnet, haiku resolve to the latest version of each tier. Billing uses credits where 1 credit costs $0.005, and request deductions are computed from token usage at about 30% below Anthropic's official pricing. Per-key controls cover allowed models, per-key rate limit (requests per minute), and a monthly credit cap.
What Claude Code API Provides

Recommended Model IDs
These are the stable IDs we recommend in docs and clients:
claude-opus-4.6— flagship, 200K standard / 1M beta contextclaude-opus-4.6claude-sonnet-4.6claude-haiku-4.5
Legacy dated Anthropic IDs also resolve correctly. For new setups prefer the stable names above.
Short Aliases
For quick CLI experiments you can use short aliases that always resolve to the latest version of each tier:
opus→claude-opus-4.6sonnet→claude-sonnet-4.6haiku→claude-haiku-4.5
For production use pinned IDs — aliases will silently upgrade across major versions. See Models for full table.
