The gateway supports OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible endpoints, with live pricing showing Claude Opus 4.8 at roughly 70% below official retail input pricing. Developers can verify all model names, context windows, and prices on the company's live pricing page.", "body_md": "Disclosure:This is the Nexotao team — I'm describing our own gateway below. I've kept it to facts you can verify yourself: every model name, context window, and price here is on our live pricing page, and I link it.\n\nIf you're an Indonesian developer, you've probably hit this wall: the OpenAI and Anthropic APIs want a **foreign credit card**. No card, no API. A lot of us get stuck right there.\n\nThe fix that works today: a **local gateway that takes QRIS / Rupiah**. Here's the honest version of how it works, what it costs, and what it *doesn't* do.\n\nThrough Nexotao you call two text models:\n\n`claude-opus-4-8`\n\n) — context window Those are the real, published context windows — no silent truncation. The endpoint is **OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible**, so you usually just change the base URL and key.\n\nOpenAI format:\n\n``` python\nfrom openai import OpenAI\n\nclient = OpenAI(base_url=\"https://api.nexotao.com/v1\", api_key=\"sk-nexo-...\")\nresp = client.chat.completions.create(\n    model=\"claude-opus-4-8\",\n    messages=[{\"role\": \"user\", \"content\": \"Hello\"}],\n)\nprint(resp.choices[0].message.content)\n```\n\nAnthropic format:\n\n```\ncurl https://api.nexotao.com/v1/messages \\\n  -H \"x-api-key: sk-nexo-...\" \\\n  -H \"anthropic-version: 2023-06-01\" \\\n  -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n  -d '{\"model\":\"claude-opus-4-8\",\"max_tokens\":256,\n       \"messages\":[{\"role\":\"user\",\"content\":\"Hello\"}]}'\n```\n\n`X-Cost-Rp`\n\nAt the time of writing, Claude Opus 4.8 runs **roughly 70% below** official retail input pricing through the gateway — but don't take my word for it. The [comparison page](https://www.nexotao.com/en/harga-api-ai-termurah) shows live per-token rates and computes \"vs official\" automatically. Find a cheaper equivalent? Tell us.\n\nThat's the whole pitch: if a foreign credit card was the only thing between you and the Claude/DeepSeek APIs, paying in Rupiah via QRIS removes it.
