Getting an API Key

Quick Start

The Telegram bot is the easiest way to get started.

  1. Open the bot and create or bind a profile.
  2. Top up your balance in rubles.
  3. Issue an API key in the bot.
  4. Test your client against https://api.nexus-hub.ru.

If you have used Nexus before, review the bot recovery and Telegram transfer flows first so you do not accidentally create a second profile.

Step-by-step details are on the Telegram Bot Guide.

How the Key Is Issued

You can issue a full API key yourself from the Telegram bot after topping up your balance.

The usual process is:

  1. You create a new account or recover access to an existing one in the Telegram bot.
  2. You verify the Nexus ID before paying.
  3. You top up the balance in rubles.
  4. You issue an API key.
  5. You check the available models and configure your client.

What You Receive with the Key

  • API key;
  • base URL https://api.nexus-hub.ru;
  • a client or model recommendation, if the key was issued for a specific workflow.

What to Do First

  1. Store the key in a secret manager or environment variable.
  2. Run GET /v1/models.
  3. Choose a model from the response.
  4. Configure your client using the appropriate guide.

Additional Keys

You can request multiple keys if you need to separate projects, team access, or test workflows.

Each key has its own access settings, while the balance stays shared at the profile level.
