One client, several providers

from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(base_url="https://apiclaw.biz/v1", api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")
for model in ["apiclaw/claude-sonnet-5.5", "apiclaw/gpt-6-sol"]:
    r = client.chat.completions.create(model=model,
        messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "One-line summary of HTTP/3"}])
    print(model, r.choices[0].message.content)

For the exact Gemini model IDs on your plan, call GET https://apiclaw.biz/v1/models with your key or check the model hub.

Note that Google’s free tier is generous for small projects: if you only need Gemini and stay inside the free limits, that is cheaper than any paid plan.

When not to choose APIClaw

You only use one provider and your volume is low. A direct per-token account (or Google’s free tier) costs less.
You need Google or Anthropic enterprise agreements, data residency or SLAs.
You need provider-native features that an OpenAI-compatible layer doesn’t expose.
You need card billing. APIClaw is crypto-only via NOWPayments.
