Claude API Starter pack — Start Coding in 2 Minutes

Get a Claude API Starter pack with instant access to all models. No credit card, no waitlist. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, and any SDK.

Claude API Starter pack: What You Get

ClaudeStore's Starter pack gives you instant access to the full Claude API — including Opus 4.6, Sonnet 4.6, and Haiku 4.5. No credit card required. No waitlist. No country restrictions. You get real API credits to test with any tool: Claude Code, Cursor IDE, VS Code extensions, Python, TypeScript, or cURL.

Unlike Anthropic's direct signup (which requires a US/EU credit card and $5 minimum deposit), ClaudeStore's Starter pack requires zero payment information and works worldwide.

import anthropic

client = anthropic.Anthropic(
    api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://api2.claudestore.store"
)

# Quick test — should respond instantly
msg = client.messages.create(

What Happens After the Starter pack?

  • No automatic charges — your key simply stops working when credits run out.
  • Add credits anytime — top up with credit card or crypto (BTC, ETH, USDT).
  • Pay per use — no monthly subscription. Pay only for tokens consumed.
  • Keep the same key — no need to regenerate or reconfigure anything.
