Claude API Access from India — opus.abhibots.com in 30 seconds
Get a Claude 4.7 API key from India without a US credit card. OpenAI-compatible, works with Claude Code, Cursor, Python and TypeScript SDKs.
Anthropic's direct API is brilliant. Getting onto it from India, paying in INR, with a card that doesn't get flagged for cross-border fraud? Not brilliant. [opus.abhibots.com](https://opus.abhibots.com) is a Telegram-authenticated Claude proxy built for exactly this problem.
What you get
- One API key for both Claude (Opus 4.7, Sonnet 4.6, Haiku 4.5) and Gemini (3.1 Pro, 3 Flash, 2.5 Pro).
- OpenAI-compatible endpoint at
https://opus.abhibots.com/v1. Drop it into any OpenAI client and it just works. - Free tier included. Rate limits reset every 5 hours — no manual reset needed.
- Full SSE streaming. First tokens land instantly for both Claude (via Anthropic API) and Gemini (via OpenAI API).
What it works with
- Claude Code — set
ANTHROPIC_BASE_URLandANTHROPIC_API_KEY, done. - Cursor — paste the endpoint and key in model settings.
- Python & TypeScript SDKs — official Anthropic SDK works unchanged.
- Automation bots — Telegram/WhatsApp workflows, n8n, Make, Zapier.
- Data analysis scripts — the use case this proxy was born for.
30-second setup
- Open opus.abhibots.com and log in with Telegram.
- Copy your API key.
- Point your client at
https://opus.abhibots.com/v1. - Leave every other setting at its default.
You'll be sending requests inside a minute.
Honest caveats
- Latency is higher than hitting Anthropic directly. A proxy adds a hop. For interactive coding sessions in Cursor that feel sluggish, the direct API is still better.
- Context windows match the underlying model. Massive 200K-token coding sessions work, but you'll notice the extra latency more on long contexts.
- Best use cases: automation, bots, normal chats, data analysis, Python scripts, Telegram/WhatsApp integrations.
Pricing
Free tier handles light use. For heavy use, paid plans are billed in INR and sold via Telegram Stars or UPI — contact @flyingabhi for the current rate card.
Why this exists
The team runs their own bots on Claude (TTS scripts, lead scoring, astrology readings). The proxy was originally internal plumbing. It turned out enough people in India needed the same thing that it became a product.
