Shell environment

export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://discountedtokens.com" export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="YOUR_DISCOUNTEDTOKENS_KEY" export ANTHROPIC_MODEL="gpt-5.6-sol" claude

Run and verify

curl -X POST "$ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL/v1/messages" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN" \ -H "anthropic-version: 2023-06-01" \ -H "content-type: application/json" \ -d '{"model":"gpt-5.6-sol","max_tokens":64,"messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Reply OK"}]}'

Troubleshooting

Verify the one-call curl request before opening Claude Code.
Use ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN because DiscountedTokens accepts bearer gateway credentials.
Basic Messages text routing is certified here. Claude Code tool blocks, extended thinking, and streaming are not certified and may not pass through.
Third-party gateway compatibility can lag Claude Code features; test your required tools before production use.

Configuration source: official documentation. DiscountedTokens is an independent gateway and is not endorsed by the client vendor.

Successful API requests are billed at the displayed token rates, metered to a fraction of a cent. Charges accumulate and are deducted from your prepaid balance in whole US cents, so a small request is not rounded up to a minimum charge.
