Production readiness checklist

Quota gate No confirmed free API quota is recorded; verify little-coder docs before collecting keys.

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 Run signup, dashboard, DNS, TLS, and first API call checks from mainland China before launch.

Source freshness Snapshot date: 2026-05-19; official quota and pricing can change without notice.

Python setup snapshot

Start with the smallest possible chat completion, then move the key to your server-side secret manager before production.

npm install -g little-coder
export OLLAMA_API_KEY=noop
little-coder --model ollama/qwen3.5

Free API and pricing notes

little-coder is not a hosted API; it connects to local OpenAI-compatible servers or cloud model APIs.

Access and production risk

Relay or proxy may be needed

GitHub/npm may be unstable in mainland China; the tool can run with local models once installed.

How to set it up

Create or locate your provider API key in the official dashboard.

Install the provider SDK or requests dependency shown in the example.

Set the API key in an environment variable instead of hard-coding secrets.

Run a small little-coder chat completion with little-coder agent scaffold.

Watch free credits, RPM/TPM limits, response shape, and error messages before scaling.
