What does no-KYC mean for an AI API?

That the provider asks for no identity documents before you pay for and call a model. Here the sign-up is an email address and the first top-up; nothing else is collected.

Is there a free no-KYC AI API here?

No. Every request bills per token from prepaid credit, which starts at $10. The prices on this site are read live from the catalog and are what you are billed.

Can I use the ChatGPT and Claude models without an OpenAI or Anthropic account?

Yes. The GPT and Claude ids on this key answer the OpenAI format at https://api.relayswitch.io/v1, and the Claude ids answer the Anthropic format too. The account here is the only account. Claude Sonnet 5.5 is $1.20 in and $3.00 out per million tokens today.

Is no-KYC the same as no-logs?

No. No-KYC is what is asked before you pay; no-logs is what is kept after a request. Here both hold: no identity documents at sign-up, and request and response bodies are not stored. The privacy page lists exactly what is kept: the email, each top-up, each key, and one usage record per request with the model, the token counts and the charge.

Which payment methods need no identity check?

All of them: USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH, SOL, Card, Apple Pay, PayPal. A crypto top-up needs no card at all; the balance credits in USD when the network confirms.

Is there a no-KYC AI API on GitHub?

The open-source clients on GitHub (chat apps, SillyTavern, Open WebUI, the OpenAI SDKs) all take a base URL and a key; the API behind them is what asks, or does not ask, for identity. Point any of them at https://api.relayswitch.io/v1 with a key from here and the whole sign-up stays an email and a top-up.

How is this different from the no-KYC AI guides that rank for the phrase?

Those pages define the term. This page is the product: what is asked for and what is never asked for, the live prices of the flagship models next to the developer list (68 of the 74 chat models with a list price sit under it today), and the first request.

Does it work from an Android or iOS client?

Any client that takes an OpenAI-compatible base URL and a key works: set the base URL to https://api.relayswitch.io/v1, paste the key, pick a model id from the Models page.

Access

No-KYC AI API

A no-KYC AI API asks for no identity documents before you pay for and call a model. Here that is 284 models on one key: an email address opens the account, a top-up in USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH, SOL or by card funds it, and a key calls every model. No identity documents, no phone number, no subscription.

Call it

Python, with the OpenAI SDK

python

1from openai import OpenAI

3client = OpenAI(base_url="https://api.relayswitch.io/v1", api_key="YOUR_RELAYSWITCH_KEY")

4reply = client.chat.completions.create(

5 model="claude-sonnet-5-5",

6 messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],

7)

8print(reply.choices[0].message.content)

One base URL and one key for every model. The Claude ids also answer the Anthropic Messages format, so Claude Code and the Anthropic SDK work with the same key; the SDK guide has the environment variables.

What a request carries is the key, the model id and the content. The account is identified by its email address and nothing more, and request and response bodies are not stored.
