Frequently Asked Questions
The practical questions people ask before purchase, during setup and when a client reports an error.
Before you buy
Will using dolinx affect my personal Anthropic or OpenAI account?+
No. Your client uses the dolinx Base URL and API key. Requests go through the dolinx gateway and are separate from your personal Anthropic or OpenAI login account.
Can I use the same key for Codex, Claude Code, Cline and Cherry Studio?+
Yes. One sk- key can be used by multiple clients that support custom Base URLs. OpenAI-compatible clients usually use https://api.dolinx.com/v1; Claude Code uses the Anthropic-compatible settings from the guide.
Do you store prompts, code or generated results?+
Prompt and response content is not stored by default. The system keeps the minimum usage, timestamp and billing metadata needed for balance and audit records.
Claude Code
Claude Code returns 401. What is wrong?+
Usually ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN is missing or incorrect. Check the variable name, make sure the key starts with sk-, remove extra spaces and reopen the terminal after setting permanent variables.
Can Claude and OpenAI environment variables be mixed?+
Do not mix them. Claude Code reads ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL and ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN. Codex and other OpenAI-compatible tools use config.toml, OPENAI_BASE_URL or similar OpenAI settings.
Why does Claude Code keep opening the official login page?+
It may still have an official OAuth session, or the current terminal did not load your variables. Run claude /logout, verify the variables and restart the terminal.
Codex
Where should config.toml be placed?+
macOS / Linux: ~/.codex/config.toml. Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.codex\config.toml. Create the .codex folder if needed.
Does base_url need /v1?+
For Codex, yes. Use https://api.dolinx.com/v1. Missing /v1 often causes spinning, timeout or endpoint errors.
Why does Codex keep opening ChatGPT login?+
It may prefer a previous ChatGPT OAuth session. Run codex logout (this clears auth.json), then re-run the install script or rewrite auth.json per the guide, and start again.
