OpenClaw

OpenClaw is an OpenAI-compatible Claude client. You can point it at AICredits to get unified INR billing, automatic provider fallback, and access to all supported models — not just Claude.

Overview

AICredits exposes an OpenAI-compatible API at https://api.aicredits.in/v1. Any client that supports a custom OpenAI base URL — including OpenClaw — can use AICredits as a drop-in backend.

Benefits of routing OpenClaw through AICredits:

• Pay in INR — no USD card required
• Prepaid credits with auto-reload support
• Access Claude, GPT, Gemini, Llama, Mistral, and more from one key
• Automatic failover when a provider is down
• Per-request usage visible in the AICredits dashboard

Configuration

Base URL & API Key

In OpenClaw's settings, find the API Provider or Custom Endpoint section and set:

Model Selection

OpenClaw typically lets you type a model name directly. The most common Claude models available through AICredits:

You can also use non-Claude models — for example gpt-4o, gemini-2-flash, or llama-4-maverick-17b. See the Models page for the full list.

Example Config

If OpenClaw accepts a JSON config file:

{
  "api_base_url": "https://api.aicredits.in/v1",
  "api_key": "sk-your-aicredits-key",
  "model": "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.5",
  "max_tokens": 8192
}

If OpenClaw uses environment variables:

export OPENAI_API_BASE="https://api.aicredits.in/v1"
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-your-aicredits-key"
export OPENAI_MODEL="anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.5"

Available Models

AICredits supports 100+ models. Use the public model listing or call the models API to get the full list:

curl https://api.aicredits.in/v1/models \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-your-aicredits-key"

The response is OpenAI-compatible — each model has an id field you can paste directly into OpenClaw.

Troubleshooting

401 Unauthorized — Your API key is missing or incorrect. Make sure the key starts with sk- and was copied in full from the AICredits dashboard.

402 Insufficient Credits — Your AICredits wallet balance is too low. Top up at aicredits.in/dashboard/billing.

Model not found — Check that the model ID exactly matches an active model. Use GET /v1/models to see all available IDs.

SSL / certificate errors — Make sure OpenClaw is using the full URL including https:// and that your system trusts standard CA certificates.
