Frequently asked questions about the Cho Tai Khoan API gateway

The questions customers ask most before buying: prices, how you receive your key, which apps work, what happens when you run out of tokens, and whether failed calls are charged. Still unsure? Message us on Telegram @chotaikhoandotcom.

What is the Claude API?

It is how software and programming tools "talk" to Claude using a dedicated key, charged by the amount of text processed (tokens) instead of a monthly subscription. See the full explanation in the setup guides on this site.

Which models does one key work with?

One key works across 26 models from 6 providers: Claude (Anthropic), GPT and Codex (OpenAI), Gemini (Google), DeepSeek, GLM (Z.AI) and Grok (xAI). To switch models, just change the model name in your app — no new key needed.

What are the current package prices?

Packages on sale:

Per-model rates in detail are on the API pricing page.

How do I receive my key after buying?

Pick a package on the gateway home page and pay — the system issues a redeem code automatically as soon as the payment is confirmed. Paste the code into the redeem box right on the page and you receive a key starting with sk-ctk-, ready to use immediately.

How can I pay?

Three ways: USDT (automatic), VietQR bank transfer (automatically confirmed via SePay) and MoMo (reviewed manually by the shop). No international card and no USD top-up needed.

Which apps does the key work with?

Any app that calls the Anthropic or OpenAI API standard: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor / Cline, VS Code (Roo Code, Continue), and your own integrations via the address https://api.chotaikhoan.com/v1.

How do I know how many tokens my key has left?

Open the Check key page on the gateway, enter your key and you will see the remaining tokens and the expiry date. When a key runs out of tokens, the app receives a message pointing to that page.

What happens when I run out of tokens?

Buy a new package and redeem the code into your old key — the quota stacks, validity follows the new package, and there is no need to configure your apps again.

Is quota charged when an API call fails?

No. The gateway only charges quota for successful calls, at exactly the real usage of each call and by a public formula. Errors on our side are never charged.

Do keys and redeem codes expire?

A key expires after the number of days of its package, counted from the moment you redeem the code. An unused redeem code is kept for 30 days from its issue date.

What happens if the fault is on your side?

Within the first 7 days: a new key or a 100% refund (keys that have used more than 20% of their quota are not refundable). Need support? Message us on Telegram @chotaikhoandotcom.

Still deciding? Try the smallest package

The Starter package at $0.72 (≈ 19.000đ) is enough to verify everything yourself, from payment to receiving your key to testing your app. Happy with it? Top up — the quota stacks, nothing is lost.
