Dashboard Guide

Using the QCode.cc console: the API access address, creating and copying API keys, usage statistics, top-up, plan purchase, team sub-keys and the Open API access token

Sign in at qcode.cc and open the console at qcode.cc/dashboard. The console sums itself up in one line — "Manage your API keys, top-up and usage" — and it is a single page: keys, balance, plans, usage, referral rewards and support all live on it.

What the console contains¶

API Access Address¶

The block is titled API Access Address and every row has its own copy button. Which row is highlighted as recommended depends on the language of the console you are signed in to:

• Chinese interface — https://asia.qcode.cc/api is highlighted as the recommended row, and the note "Mainland China users should use the accelerated address; others use the global address. Both offer identical performance" is shown under it.

• Any non-Chinese interface (currently English, Japanese, Russian) — https://api.qcode.cc is highlighted, and the rows under it are labelled Backup (USA: https://us.qcode.cc/api, Asia: https://asia.qcode.cc/api).

The address you copy still has to carry the right path prefix for the tool you use — see Endpoints & API Paths. For Claude Code the pair looks like this:

export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://api.qcode.cc/api"
export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="cr_your_key"

API Keys: create, view and copy¶

API Key Management is the block with the Create Key & Activate Service button. If you have no key yet, the empty state spells out the order of operations: Top Up Balance → Buy a Plan → Start Using.

1. Top up on qcode.cc/recharge (see Payment Methods Overview).
2. Pick a plan on qcode.cc/subscribe — either Recommended Plans or Custom Configuration — and confirm. A successful purchase states "Subscription Activated — Your API Key is created and ready to use" and shows the key with a copy button and a Go to Dashboard link.
3. Back in the console, the key value is not printed by default: the row shows Loading… until you press the eye button to reveal it, then Copy. If you copy before the value has loaded, the console tells you so instead of copying an empty string.

Other things on the same block:

• A freshly ordered key can show "API key is being activated, we will process it as soon as possible" with a link to online support.

• A key you already own can show a Renew button (a quick renewal priced from your balance).

• Keys that ran out appear under the collapsed Expired keys list, marked Key expired or disabled.

• Each card links the three clients one key serves: Claude, Codex and Gemini.

One-click setup commands¶

Every active key card carries a One-Click Setup (Recommended) block with a macOS / Linux and a Windows tab, one command line for Claude Code and one for Codex, each with its own Copy button:

curl -fsSL https://qcode.cc/install/claude-code.sh | bash
curl -fsSL https://qcode.cc/install/codex.sh | bash

The console's hint under the block: "Paste your key above when the script prompts for it." On the Windows tab the commands are the irm … | iex equivalents, and a collapsed section underneath adds a CMD one-liner and a downloadable launcher for machines where irm is unavailable or blocked by the execution policy. The full walkthrough, including how to force the script's interface language, is in One-Click Setup Script.

Usage Statistics¶

The Usage Statistics block is keyed to your active key ("Quota usage for current active key") and can auto-refresh on a timer (Off / 5 / 10 / 30 / 60 minutes) or on demand with Refresh.

The panel's own disclaimer: "Data shown here may have slight variations, actual limits are based on Claude Code responses." For a rough per-session figure use /cost inside Claude Code, and for how the money is calculated see Billing Description.

Top-up, plans, boosters and upgrades¶

• Balance is per currency. "CNY and USD balances are separate. Recharge amount will be added to the corresponding currency balance." The user bar shows both figures side by side.

• Top-up limits shown on the recharge page: minimum ¥100 for CNY, minimum $1 and maximum $2,000 for USD, plus per-method caps that the page explains when you hit them.

• Coming back after a top-up: the console banner reads "Balance received — You can activate a plan now." with a Choose a plan button. Any leftover is not lost — "Any balance left after your top-up isn't wasted: use it later toward an upgrade or a booster pack."

• Multi-month purchase is discounted: "Subscribe for 3+ months for up to 25% off (12 months)."

• Booster packs (Self-service Booster Pack) can be bought from the console with balance and expand your quota immediately; they reset at 2 AM Beijing time (UTC+8).

• Upgrades are not a console button: buy the higher plan first, then mail hi@qcode.cc so the old one is closed and its unused value is credited back to your balance.

Sub-keys and team features¶

The personal console manages one main key per plan — there is no self-service sub-key screen in it. Sub-keys are part of the team products:

• The Enterprise Team Edition page describes a Sub-API Key Management Center with "fine-grained configuration and management for each team member", and the plan comparison table lists unlimited sub-keys, each with its own quota. That edition also lists Bank Transfer Supported, Official Invoices Available and Custom Service Agreements. Steps: Enterprise Team Guide.

• On the subscribe page the team card advertises "Flexible quota & sub-key mgmt" and points to hi@qcode.cc.

• The console itself only offers team orientation — a Team / Enterprise entry in the welcome dialog and a Team Features dialog for the Max X20 team edition ("Multi-account management for team collaboration", "Customized service…", "Dedicated technical support…").

• Resellers get a separate Partner Dashboard with sub-key issuance, covered in Partner Open API Guide.

Open API access token¶

The Open API card says: "Use an access token to query your API keys' expiry and daily usage programmatically." Manage token opens /dashboard/openapi-token, where you can generate, reset or revoke the token:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer qot_..." \
  https://qcode.cc/api/v1/openapi/keys

• Two read-only endpoints are listed on that page: one for all your active keys' expiry and usage, one for the account-level usage summary.

• The token is shown once: "Your new token (shown only once) — copy it now", and "We store only a hash — if you lose it, reset to get a new one (the old token stops working immediately)."

• Reset and revoke both ask for confirmation, and revoking disables Open API access until you generate a new token.

Support and ordering questions¶

• The console's Support line: "Weekdays 10:00 - 21:00 (UTC+8) online response", with off-hours messages "checked intermittently, replies may be delayed", and "Email available anytime: hi@qcode.cc".

• Live support is the Contact Us button in the bottom-right corner (Telegram or email).

• Request Urgent Processing explains the wait: new upstream accounts take one to two hours to apply and configure during business hours.

• Quick Links also holds Usage Help (the knowledge base) and Common Error Codes; for symptoms and fixes see Troubleshooting Guide and Error Code Reference.
