APIShop Console User Guide: How to Choose and Use API Models

This guide summarizes the key entry points in the APIShop console related to model selection, helping you quickly find and filter models and confirm billing rules.

Step 1: Go to Model Plaza

First, go to APIShop Console Model Plaza . If you have not registered or signed in, please register and sign in first. After entering the Model Marketplace, you will see all the large language models and multimodal models currently supported by the platform displayed here. Please refer to the numbered labels in the image below to understand each functional area:

Step 2: Quickly filter the required models

The platform includes all supported models, and you can quickly find the one you need through the filter panel on the left:

• ① Provider: Filter by official source. For example, you can directly choose Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, etc. to quickly view all available models from that provider.
• ② Tags: Filter by model capabilities. For example, if you need to process images, you can select Multimodal or Image; if you want cheaper options, you can select Low Discount or Special Offer.
• ③ Modality Type: This determines how you use the model when calling it: text generation, deep reasoning, image generation, visual understanding, video generation, and more.

Step 3: Understand the Model Card (Important)

In the model list, each card includes the key information for that model. We'll use claude-opus-4-8 labeled in the image as an example to break it down for you:

• ④ Model name: The English text in the upper-left corner of the card is the standard model name. When you write code or configure a third-party client, you must enter this name exactly.
• ⑤ Discount offer: This shows the model's current promotional discount. For example, the “Discount: as low as 45% off” shown in the image means that the final charge when you call this model is only 45% of the original price!
• ⑥ One-click copy: Click the [📄 copy icon] to the right of the name to copy it with one click. We strongly recommend using this feature to avoid errors caused by manual input.

💡 What should you do next? After choosing your preferred model and clicking to copy its name, you can go to the menu on the left to generate your API KEY, pair it with Base URL, and then configure it in your code or your favorite client to get started!
