TokenDos

tokenDos is a two-sIDEd Marketplace designed to connect developers who have surplus AI API quotas with those who need cost-effective access to large language models. Instead of ACTing as a traditional centralized reseller, TokenDos enables indiVidual suppliers to list their unused API keys and set their own prices, while consumers can purchase model access through a single platform key. The service supports both OpenAI and anthropic protocols, making it easy to integrate into existing Workflows with minimal code changes.

What it does

TokenDos functions as a matching and routing layer between API quota suppliers and consumers. Suppliers can list their idle API keys, configure pricing, and earn revenue based on Token Consumption. Consumers can browse available models, use one platfORM key to access multiple upstream providers, and pay in real time per token. The platform also offers a local hosting option, allowing developers to run a private gateway to reduce data exposure.

Key capabilities

• Two-sided API marketplace: Individuals can sell unused API quotas, while buyers access a variety of models through a single key.
• Dual protocol compatibility: Supports both openai and Anthropic API formats, so existing SDKs can be switched by changing the base URL and key.
• cloud or local hosting: Choose between a managed cloud gateway or a self-hosted local gateway for sensitive workflows.
• Developer Tool Integration: Works with popular AI coding tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex CLI.
• real-time billing: Token usage is deducted instantly, with a low minimum deposit of $1 and a 10% bonus for first-time top-ups.
• Public status page: View live pricing, availability, and uptime for various models without logging in.

Who it is for

TokenDos is aimed at overseas individual developers and small technical teams who want to reduce API costs or monetize unused quotas. It is also suitable for those running non-critical, experimental, or Testing projects where occASIonal instability is acceptable. Developers who prioritize data privacy may benefit from the local hosting mode, though the platform itself is not recommended for production-grade core business Operations.

How to get started

To begin as a consumer, register an account, generate a platform API key, and replace the base URL and key in your existing code. You can then start making calls and monitor usage in the console. As a supplier, navigate to the shop creation SECtion, subMIT your API key, set your pricing, and your resources will become available to other developers. detailed documentation is provided for integration with common coding tools.

Pricing and access caveat

TokenDos operates on a pay-per-token model with variable pricing set by individual suppliers. The minimum deposit is $1, and new users receive a 10% credit bonus on their first top-up. However, because the platform relies on third-party individual suppliers, there are inherent risks including key expiration, rate limits, account bans, and price changes. Data may pass through third-party gateways in cloud mode, so it is not adVisable to transmit confidential or highly sensitive Information. Access from mainland China may be unstable, and a VPN may be required.
