Neko API is an AI API china-zone relay provider. TokenAPI Scan independently monitors model authenticity, protocol coverage, response latency, and pricing transparency.

Is Neko API reliable? How to verify authenticity?

This page aggregates AI API relay detection data for Neko API, focusing on whether Claude / OpenAI / Gemini are truly passthrough, whether usage fields are anomalous, whether model lists are usable, and accessibility across different network regions. If you're searching for "Neko API real or fake", "Neko API review", "API relay detection", or "relay price comparison", we recommend checking the detection summary, network status, and public pricing evidence below before deciding whether to continue using it.

How to assess Neko API's routing role? Don't jump to conclusions based on price or a single speed test alone. We recommend placing this provider on the same evidence chain: Are model endpoints enumerable? Are Claude / OpenAI / Gemini protocols truly passthrough? Is there scraping evidence for public pricing? Is the network region stable? Are there enough samples on the rankings? Only when evidence is sufficient and stable is it suitable as a primary route; when pricing has advantages but protocols or availability still need observation, it's better suited as a backup or testing route.
Primary: protocol + availability + pricing all evidenced Backup: pricing or coverage advantage but needs review Watch: insufficient samples or recent fluctuation Avoid: delisted, unreachable, or severe anomalies

🛰️ System Probe Summary

The platform runs keyless connectivity probes every 6 hours on this site's OpenAI / Anthropic / Gemini protocol list-models endpoints (HTTP 401/403 counts as connected, indicating the endpoint is alive). Below are the cumulative real results.

Note: Connectivity rate = endpoint responses (incl. 401/403 auth responses) / probe count, measures endpoint liveness not service quality; service quality is determined by key-submitted detections in "Real Detection Summary" above.

🛠 Integration Tutorial: Get Started with Neko API in 3 Steps

  1. Register an account and create an API Key in the backend (the console usually has "My Keys" or "API Tokens" entry).
  2. Replace the base URL in your code with https://api.nekoapi.com/v1, and select the model name from Neko API's list.
  3. Test a request:
    curl https://api.nekoapi.com/v1/v1/chat/completions -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"model":"gpt-4o-mini","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"hello"}]}'

✅ This is an OpenAI Compatibility Mode integration example. Anthropic / Gemini protocols vary slightly by provider, see each site's documentation.。

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is Neko API reliable?

Currently fewer than 3 tests, insufficient data samples. Refer to the "Real-time Detection Data" section for the latest reports or test yourself.

How much does Neko API cost?

Neko API does not have a public unified price list; log in to the backend for specific pricing. Compare similar sites on the Price Comparison Page for reference.

Which models does Neko API support?

Neko API's model list is not publicly enumerated yet; log in to the backend to view.

What's the difference between Neko API and official?

Official (OpenAI/Anthropic/Google) = first-hand pricing + stable direct connection + strict content moderation and account ban risk. Third-party relays = usually discounted pricing + domestic accessibility + but compounded availability, content moderation, SLA, and service shutdown risks. Which to choose depends on your cost sensitivity, content moderation requirements, and stability priorities. It is recommended to use official for critical paths + relays as backup.

Will Neko API shut down?

We continuously monitor relay site reachability. Multiple consecutive failed detections within 30 days = high risk signal. Recommendations: ① Don't top up too much ② Rotate across multiple providers for critical services ③ Watch the Rankings warnings.
