How to connect Cherry Studio to Apily
Cherry Studio is a desktop chat client for Windows, macOS and Linux. It is added as an ordinary OpenAI provider — with one quirk: the API address must end with a slash.
Tool
Cherry Studio OpenAI-compatible
API address
https://apily.pro/v1/ trailing slash requiredKey
apily_your-api-keyKeep the trailing slash. Cherry Studio appends
v1 to addresses that don't already end with /v1/. Entering https://apily.pro/v1 (no trailing slash) makes the client call /v1/v1/chat/completions and fail with 404. Use exactly https://apily.pro/v1/.Configuration
- Open Settings → Model Providers and press + Add.
- Choose the OpenAI provider type and name it, e.g. Apily.
- API Address:
https://apily.pro/v1/— with the trailing slash. - API Key:
apily_your-api-key - Add models by ID (e.g.
gpt-5.6-sol,claude-opus-5,deepseek-v4-flash-0731) and enable the provider toggle. - Open a new chat and pick an Apily model.
Common errors and how to fix them
| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
404 Not found | Address without trailing slash → /v1/v1/… path. | Set https://apily.pro/v1/ exactly. |
401 Invalid API key | Key copied with stray spaces, truncated, or revoked. | Copy the key whole from the API page in your Apily account, the apily_ prefix included. |
| Model missing from the picker | Model not added manually. | Add each model by its exact ID from your Apily account. |
