# CLI Proxy API

English | [中文](README_CN.md) | [日本語](README_JA.md)

A proxy server that provides OpenAI/Gemini/Claude/Codex/Grok compatible API interfaces for CLI.

It now also supports OpenAI Codex (GPT models) and Claude Code via OAuth.

So you can use local or multi-account CLI access with OpenAI(include Responses)/Gemini/Claude-compatible clients and SDKs.

## Usage Statistics

Since v6.10.0, CLIProxyAPI and [CPAMC](https://github.com/router-for-me/Cli-Proxy-API-Management-Center) no longer ship built-in usage statistics. If you need usage statistics, use:

### [CPA Usage Keeper](https://github.com/Willxup/cpa-usage-keeper)

### [CPA-Manager-Plus](https://github.com/seakee/CPA-Manager-Plus)

Full CLIProxyAPI management center with request-level monitoring and cost estimates. CPA-Manager tracks collected requests by account, model, channel, latency, status, and token usage; estimates cost with editable model prices and one-click LiteLLM price sync; persists events in SQLite; and provides Codex account-pool operations with batch inspection, quota detection, unhealthy account discovery, cleanup suggestions, and one-click execution for day-to-day multi-account maintenance.
