Chat2API is an Electron-based desktop application that exposes OpenAI-compatible API endpoints backed by official AI provider web UIs such as DeepSeek, GLM, Kimi, MiniMax, Qwen, and Z.ai. It includes a dashboard for monitoring requests, API key management, model mapping, and context management so any OpenAI-compatible client works out of the box.
Use cases
- use free AI models through an OpenAI-compatible local API
- connect Cline or Roo-Code to DeepSeek and Qwen without paying for API keys
- proxy multiple AI chat providers behind one unified endpoint
- add function calling to models that lack native tool support
- monitor token usage and request success rates for local AI proxies
When to choose
- you want zero-cost access to models via official web UIs
- you need an OpenAI-compatible endpoint for coding assistants like Cline
- you want unified management of multiple AI provider accounts
When to avoid
- you need production-grade reliability or guaranteed SLAs
- you require official API features like fine-tuning or batch jobs
- web-UI scraping violates the provider's terms of service for your use case
