Is DevThrottle an AI agent?

No. DevThrottle does not write code and is not an agent - it is the control room for the agents you already run. It lines up Claude Code, Codex, and your other tools on one board so you can see what each is doing at a glance and answer them by voice. You bring the agents and their subscriptions, and running them through DevThrottle costs nothing.

The app is free forever, and your code never leaves your computer. We host nothing of yours, so it costs us nothing when you use it. The only thing for sale is prepaid credits, which pay for hosted AI features like transcription at a published rate card. The free version is not a trial and never expires.

Which coding agents does it work with?

It works with the AI coding agents you already use - Claude Code, Codex, Aider, Gemini, and others - across different tools at the same time. You keep your existing agent and subscription; DevThrottle runs and watches them all on one board.

API

Authentication

2 min read

Every API request authenticates with a DevThrottle API key - a token starting with dt_ that you create in your account. Send it as a standard bearer token:

Authorization header

Authorization: Bearer dt_your_key_here

Example: curl

curl https://devthrottle.com/api/v1/models \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DEVTHROTTLE_API_KEY"

Example: OpenAI SDK (Python)

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://devthrottle.com/api/v1",
    api_key="dt_your_key_here",
)

Key facts

The full key is shown once, at creation. Store it in a secret manager.
A missing or invalid key returns 401 with an OpenAI-shaped error body - see errors.
Spend is attributed per key in Usage, so use one key per integration.
Revoking a key in API keys stops it immediately; other keys are unaffected.

Warning

Keys spend real prepaid credits. Never commit a key to a repository or ship one in client-side code - treat it exactly like a password.
