Token101 DocsQuick Start
From account registration to your first API call — get started with Token101 in five minutes.
Visit the homepage at https://token.ppthub.shop/. It supports English and can be switched to Chinese.
Register an Account
Currently email registration is supported, with social account registration coming soon. You just need an email that can receive verification emails from Token101.
Fill in your name, email, and password. The system will automatically send a confirmation email. Please set a strong password to protect your account.
Check your inbox — if you don't see the email, check your spam folder. Open the email and click the confirmation button, which will redirect you to the dashboard.
Activate Your Account
In the dashboard, navigate to API Keys. To protect the platform, new accounts must be activated before you can create API keys — click the "Activate Now" button.
The system will redirect to the activation page. Activation costs only CNY 4.0. The page guides you through payment via Stripe Checkout — select "Bank Card" as the payment method and follow the checkout form with your own card details. Once payment completes, your account is activated.
After activation, return to API Keys to create your API Key. Note that for security reasons, the API Key is displayed only once — click to copy it.
API Key Format
Token101 uses API Keys for identity verification on API traffic, with deliberately simple validation rules. The server rejects any key that doesn't start with sk- or has fewer than 32 characters total. This means the safest default strategy for all client integrations is the same: treat the full key as an opaque secret string, preserve the prefix, and don't trim whitespace before or after storage.
A valid key must satisfy:
- Prefix:
sk- - Minimum total length: 32 characters
- Transmission: send as-is, exactly as issued
Example key:
sk-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxCredits and Plans
After you verify your email, the system grants a one-time welcome gift of 50 credits. These credits are valid for 30 days from the date they land in your account and are granted only once at registration — they are not a recurring allowance.
If your credits are insufficient, you can choose a plan based on your usage.
After successful activation, you can select a plan. For plan details, see Billing & Credits. We recommend the PAYGO plan (fixed credit packages) — for example, the CNY 66 package grants 917 credits. The exact credits for each package are shown on the purchase page.
Or go directly to the pricing page to select a plan.
Once complete, you can start using Token101 to access global AI models.
