Troubleshooting

​
Connection test fails?

  1. Double-check the API Key — it must start with sk-
  2. Confirm the API Address is https://toapis.com/v1/ (note the trailing slash)
  3. Verify the key is active in the ToAPIs Console and your account has sufficient balance
  4. Check your network connection and ensure https://toapis.com is reachable

​
Can’t find my model in the list?

Cherry Studio uses manually added models. Simply type the model ID directly when adding a model. You can find all available model IDs in the ToAPIs model list.
