Where can you access the Jev API?

Choose by situation

For the quickest self-service path, start with OpenRouter. Choose DigitalOcean when you prefer a major cloud account, keep Cloudflare when your app already runs on Workers, or try OpenCode Zen while its free Jev model remains available.

Status checked on 2026-09-26. Payment methods come from official platform documentation; they are not proof that every region, account or card has passed checkout.

Access exists, but current public pricing signals conflict, so this is not a primary pick.

“Officially supported” is not the same as “tested from mainland China”

We report payment methods confirmed by public platform documentation. Account checks, checkout options, tax and connectivity still vary.

Do not mix credentials or endpoints

Each route has its own key, model ID and bill. OpenRouter exposes Decisions and System One APIs, Cloudflare Workers use an AI binding, and OpenCode Zen has its own System One endpoint. Changing only the base URL is not enough, and no key belongs in browser code.

Registration, payment, region and connectivity still depend on the signed-in account. This guide does not guarantee direct access from mainland China.
