Getting an API Key

Quick Start

The Telegram bot is the easiest way to get started.

1. Open the bot and send /start; the bot creates or opens your profile.
2. Top up your balance in rubles.
3. Issue an API key in the bot.
4. Test your client against https://api.nexus-hub.ru.

If you have used Nexus before, review the balance-transfer flow before moving funds from an older profile.

Step-by-step details are on the Telegram Bot Guide.

How the Key Is Issued

You can issue a full API key yourself from the Telegram bot after topping up your balance.

The usual process is:

1. You send /start in the Telegram bot and receive one profile.
2. You verify the Nexus ID before paying.
3. You top up the balance in rubles.
4. You issue an API key.
5. You check the available models and configure your client.

What You Receive with the Key

• API key;
• base URL https://api.nexus-hub.ru.

What to Do First

1. Store the key in secure storage or an environment variable.
2. Run GET /v1/models.
3. Choose a model from the response.
4. Configure your client using the appropriate guide.

Additional Keys

You can request multiple keys if you need to separate projects, team access, or test workflows.

Each key has its own access settings, while the balance stays shared at the profile level.
