A new account receives $1 of separate trial credit. The trial is not a payment method, is not transferable, and is spent before permanent wallet credit.
A practical first check
This route is for developers and teams who want to verify the Base URL, an API Key, a public model name, and an actual usage record before deciding whether to purchase API credit.
Start in four steps
Create an account; no card is required for the trial.
Create an API Key and keep it private.
Use the documented OpenAI-compatible Base URL https://www.zltokens.com/v1 with an available public model name.
Send a small request and check its usage log before moving production traffic.
Trial conditions
The $1 credit is for a new account and expires 14 days after registration.
Unused trial credit expires automatically and is separate from purchased or other permanent wallet credit.
A request uses active trial credit first, then permanent wallet credit; the completed request and usage log determine the final charge.
Model availability, account access, and active pricing configuration still apply.
