Core Information Overview

\

\
\

Project Essence

\

This is a technical tutorial on building an AI API relay station based on the open-source project New-API. The core process involves purchasing an overseas server, deploying Docker containers, configuring upstream AI channels (such as OpenAI), and then reselling API credits to ordinary users at a higher price to earn the margin (volume difference or rate difference). Essentially, it is a side-business model that uses technical tools for API proxy distribution.

Core Methods & Workflow

\
    \
  • Purchase an overseas server that supports trials (such as Japan/US/Hong Kong nodes; a 2-core 4GB configuration is recommended, with a one-click image preinstalled with the BT Panel)
    • \
  • Log in to the BT Panel, search for and one-click install the New-API project (official image) in the Docker app store, and open the external access port (default 3000)
    • \
  • Bind a custom domain through the BT Panel reverse proxy feature, with the backend pointing to local port 3000, to enable public access
    • \
  • Log in to the New-API admin panel (default admin/admin123), go to Channel Management, and add an upstream API channel (fill in the key, API address, and select the model group)
    • \
  • Configure it in System Settings > Group Model Pricing
