How to Integrate Chinese LLM APIs into Your Global Application

Universal API Integration

Integrating Chinese LLMs into your global application is straightforward when you use the right abstraction layer. The key is understanding the protocol landscape and choosing the right compatibility mode for your stack.

Integration Approaches

• OpenAI-Compatible: Most Chinese models now support this standard. Swap the base URL and API key — your existing code works unchanged.
• Messages-Compatible: For Anthropic-ecosystem clients. Use this endpoint for Claude Code, Cursor with Anthropic provider, and similar tools.
• Responses-Compatible: For newer API paradigms supporting streaming response objects.

Best Practices

Always specify model IDs explicitly, implement exponential backoff for rate limits, use streaming for real-time applications, and monitor usage through our dashboard. Test with small prompts before scaling to production workloads.
