Claude API Relays
82 relays listed
Anthropic's Claude models are known for long-context reasoning and code quality, but the official API requires an internationally-billable card and a stable connection to Anthropic's endpoints — both real blockers for a lot of developers. A Claude API relay resells access to an official account, so you can top up and start calling the API immediately, and most relays are already wired up for Claude Code, Cursor, and similar coding tools.
Every relay below supports at least one Claude model. Focus on the billing multiplier (it drives your real cost), whether the latest Claude version is available, and how stable the relay is under load — a small test top-up before committing to one as your primary relay is always worth it.

ClaudeGemini
OpenAIClaudeGemini+2How to choose one
The same Claude model can cost 2-3x more at one relay than another. A 1x multiplier is closest to the official price; anything above 2x needs a clear reason to be worth it.
Check that the relay has actually onboarded the Claude version you want (e.g. the latest Sonnet or Opus) — some older relays still only carry legacy models.
If you're driving Claude Code or Cursor, favor relays that explicitly advertise "coding tool ready" or native Anthropic-format compatibility to avoid integration headaches.
Frequently asked questions
How do I use the Claude API without a US credit card?
The simplest path is a Claude API relay: top up in your preferred currency or crypto, grab the relay's API key and base URL, and swap them in for the official endpoint — no international card or VPN required.
Can I run Claude Code through a relay?
Most relays support it. Pick one that advertises native Anthropic-format compatibility or explicit Claude Code support, then point Claude Code's base_url and key at the relay.
How different is a relay from calling Claude directly?
A reputable relay is close to official reliability. The real differences are price (the multiplier) and occasional rate limiting during peak hours. Route sensitive data through the official API directly.
