Production readiness checklist

Quota gate Start inside $0; log usage before adding retries or batch jobs.

No-card check Try the free path first, then confirm whether billing is required for API keys, higher RPM, or production endpoints.

Regional smoke test Still run one request from your deployment region and from China if users are there.

cURL smoke test

Use this to verify endpoint, auth header, model name, response shape, and quota before adding SDK abstractions.

  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TEXTGEN_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "本地 LLM 桌面应用",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello from yangmao.ai"}]
  }'

Free API and pricing notes

Access and production risk

China-friendly / direct path likely

Availability may vary by region and account policy; verify with the live site.

How to set it up

Create an API key and copy the provider endpoint from official docs.

Export the key into your shell session.

Send a minimal chat completion payload with cURL.

Check status code, JSON body, and rate-limit headers.

Move the tested endpoint into your app or fallback relay.
