How to setup API, step by step please ?
@Vikas_Kumar Sure — here’s the clean step-by-step setup for the AshnaAI API.
Log in to AshnaAI and go to:
Account → API → Create API Key
Copy the key and store it safely. Treat it like a password and never post it publicly.
AshnaAI supports OpenAI-compatible clients.
Base URL:
https://api.ashna.ai/v1/api
For most apps such as Cline, Continue, Cursor, VS Code extensions, OpenAI SDKs, etc., choose:
Provider: OpenAI Compatible / Custom OpenAI
API Key: your AshnaAI API key
Base URL: https://api.ashna.ai/v1/api
For the models from this giveaway, use the exact model IDs:
GPT-6 Astra
gpt-6-astra
Claude Fable 5
claude-fable-5
The model name must be entered exactly as shown.
Before configuring another application, I recommend testing the key directly.
Example with cURL:
curl https://api.ashna.ai/v1/api/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"model": "gpt-6-astra",
"messages": [
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Reply with exactly: API working"
}
]
}'
Replace:
YOUR_API_KEY
with your real AshnaAI API key.
If you want to test Fable 5 instead, change:
gpt-6-astra
to:
claude-fable-5
If you receive a normal JSON response, your API access is working.
You can also query the model list:
curl https://api.ashna.ai/v1/api/models \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
This is useful if a model name changes or you want to see every model available to your account.
401 Unauthorized → API key is missing or invalid
403 Forbidden → your key/account does not have access to that model
404 Not Found → incorrect model or endpoint
429 Rate Limit → too many requests / limit reached
500 Server Error → server-side issue
AshnaAI also supports them directly.
Claude Code
ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://api.ashna.ai/v1/api
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY
Codex
OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://api.ashna.ai/v1/api
OPENAI_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY
Note: These instructions are based on AshnaAI’s documentation and haven’t been personally tested. External API usage reportedly requires a paid plan; free-plan and referral credits cannot be used for API calls. Check the official documentation for the latest requirements.
The documentation also includes setup guides for Cursor, Cline, Continue, VS Code, Claude Code, Codex, Python, JavaScript, Go and Java.
Is there a way to delete the account and reuse the same email address? I don’t have multiple spare email IDs. 
429 Rate Limit → too many requests / limit reached
External API usage is available on a paid plan only. Free plan credits and referral credits cannot fund these calls. Purchase a plan at https://app.ashna.ai/pricing.
How did you use the API key on the free plan?
If you sign up with my link, we both get free Advance AI Models credits.
