LLM Gateway

The Bankr LLM Gateway is a unified API for Claude, Gemini, GPT, and other models — multi-provider access, cost tracking, automatic failover, and SDK compatibility through a single endpoint.

Base URL: https://llm.bankr.bot

Authentication

Uses your LLM key. Resolution order:

1. BANKR_LLM_KEY environment variable
2. llmKey in ~/.bankr/config.json
3. Falls back to BANKR_API_KEY

Most users only need one key for both agent API and LLM gateway.

Credits

New wallets start with $0 LLM credits. Top up before first use or all requests return HTTP 402.

LLM credits (USD) and trading wallet (crypto) are completely separate balances.

bankr llm credits                          # Check balance
bankr llm credits add 25                   # Top up $25 (USDC)
bankr llm credits add 50 --token 0x...     # Top up from specific token
bankr llm credits auto --enable --amount 25 --threshold 5 --tokens USDC  # Auto top-up
bankr llm credits auto --disable           # Disable auto top-up

Tool Integrations

Claude Code

# Launch directly (recommended)
bankr llm claude
bankr llm claude --model claude-sonnet-4.6

# Or set env vars
bankr llm setup claude
# Outputs: export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL and ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN

OpenClaw

bankr llm setup openclaw --install   # Auto-install provider config

In OpenClaw, prefix model IDs with bankr/ (e.g. bankr/claude-sonnet-4.6).

OpenCode

bankr llm setup opencode --install   # Auto-install provider config

Direct SDK Usage

The gateway works with standard OpenAI and Anthropic SDKs — just override the base URL.

OpenAI format:

curl -X POST "https://llm.bankr.bot/v1/chat/completions" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $BANKR_LLM_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "claude-sonnet-4.6", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]}'

Anthropic format:

curl -X POST "https://llm.bankr.bot/v1/messages" \
  -H "x-api-key: $BANKR_LLM_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "claude-sonnet-4.6", "max_tokens": 1024, "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]}'
