DaoXEBecause DaoXE mirrors the OpenAI API, GPT is a one-line change: point the base URL at https://daoxe.com/v1, keep your code. The same key also reaches Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek and more — see the cheapest APIs guide for cost routing.
Call GPT through DaoXE#
Use /v1/chat/completions for the classic Chat API, or /v1/responses for projects on the Responses API. Reasoning behavior (o-series / gpt-5) is selected by the model ID, not a separate endpoint.

- Two protocols. Chat Completions and Responses are both exposed — pick whichever your client speaks.
- Reasoning is per model ID. Pick the reasoning variant by its ID; there's no magic switch.
- Some clients default to /responses. If a client errors on Responses, force
/chat/completionsin its settings. - Exact IDs only. Read them from
GET /v1/modelsfor your account.
Payment & real cost#
Alipay / WeChat Pay / USDT — a flat 1 RMB = $1
Every method tops up at a flat 1 RMB = $1 of credit, while models bill at their official USD price. At a real ~7 RMB/USD rate, Western flagships (GPT / Claude / Gemini / Grok) come out around 1/7 of official cost (≈85% off) — and because USDT tops up the same way, USD holders abroad get the same deal. Honest caveat: cheaper domestic models (DeepSeek / Qwen / GLM) still beat going direct, just by less — it is not “everything is 1/7”. Rates move; daoxe.com/pricing is authoritative, and a small top-up verifies it.
Verify you actually get the model#
Prove the endpoint works before blaming the client — if this fails, no setting will fix it:
export DAOXE_API_KEY="your_api_key"
# List the exact model IDs your account can call
curl --fail-with-body --show-error --silent \
https://daoxe.com/v1/models \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ${DAOXE_API_KEY}"Prove the endpoint, then diff a fixed prompt against the official OpenAI API at temperature 0 to confirm you get the same model class:
Verify us — don't trust us
Point the open benchmark at DaoXE and at the official API and compare at temperature 0. Then learn to detect model swapping so a cheaper endpoint can't quietly swap you to a smaller model.
Frequently asked questions#
Will my OpenAI code work unchanged?
Yes — change the base URL to https://daoxe.com/v1 and keep the SDK calls; use exact model IDs.
Chat Completions or Responses?
Both are available. Use whichever your client expects; force chat if a client mishandles Responses.
How do reasoning models work?
Select the reasoning variant by its model ID from GET /v1/models; there's no separate flag.
How much does GPT cost here?
Per model, account-scoped — see live pricing. Advantage vs official: typically ~30–80% below list via low-price groups.
