📝 Project Description

[!IMPORTANT]

• This project is intended solely for lawful and authorized AI API gateway, organization-level authentication, multi-model management, usage analytics, cost accounting, and private deployment scenarios.
• Users must lawfully obtain upstream API keys, accounts, model services, and interface permissions, and must comply with upstream terms of service and applicable laws and regulations.
• Users should ensure their use complies with upstream terms of service and applicable laws and regulations.
• When providing generative AI services to the public, users should comply with applicable regulatory requirements and fulfill all filing, licensing, content safety, real-name verification, log retention, tax, and upstream authorization obligations required by their jurisdiction.

🚀 Quick Start

Using Docker Compose (Recommended)

# Clone the project
git clone https://github.com/QuantumNous/new-api.git
cd new-api

# Edit docker-compose.yml configuration
nano docker-compose.yml

# Start the service
docker-compose up -d

# Pull the latest image
docker pull calciumion/new-api:latest

# Using SQLite (default)
docker run --name new-api -d --restart always \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -e TZ=Asia/Shanghai \
  -v ./data:/data \
  calciumion/new-api:latest

# Using MySQL
docker run --name new-api -d --restart always \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -e SQL_DSN="root:123456@tcp(localhost:3306)/oneapi" \
  -e TZ=Asia/Shanghai \
  -v ./data:/data \
  calciumion/new-api:latest

🎉 After deployment is complete, visit http://localhost:3000 to start using!

[!WARNING] When operating this project as a public generative AI service or API resale service, users should first complete all required filing, licensing, content safety, real-name verification, log retention, tax, payment, and upstream authorization obligations.

⚠️ Multi-machine Deployment Considerations

[!WARNING]

• All nodes must use the same primary database and the same SESSION_SECRET; otherwise Access Tokens, refresh sessions, and temporary authentication flows cannot be verified consistently.
• Nodes connected to the same Redis must also use the same CRYPTO_SECRET, or their cache-key digests will differ and shared entries cannot be reused consistently.

The database is authoritative for login Sessions and for the per-user active/issuance limits. Redis Session entries are short-lived caches whose TTL follows SYNC_FREQUENCY (60 seconds by default) and never exceeds the Session's remaining lifetime.

A shorter SYNC_FREQUENCY reduces the independent-Redis staleness window but causes one additional primary-key Session lookup per active SID, per node, per TTL. These guarantees make Session authentication bounded-stale across the supported topologies; rate limits and other Redis-backed control-plane caches remain topology-dependent.

See User authentication and login sessions for the token, Origin-check and PAT contracts.

🔄 Channel Retry and Cache

Retry configuration: Settings → Operation Settings → General Settings → Failure Retry Count

Cache configuration:

• REDIS_CONN_STRING: Redis cache (recommended)
• MEMORY_CACHE_ENABLED: Memory cache
