Proxy Settings

Advanced Configuration

Configure advanced proxy settings including request timeout and retry count.

Request Configuration

Maximum time to wait for provider response.

Setting	Default	Range
Request Timeout	60s	1-300s

Longer timeouts are suitable for complex queries but increase wait time.

Number of automatic retries on failure.

Setting	Default	Range
Retry Count	3	0-10

Settings are stored in ~/.chat2api/config.json:

{
  "requestTimeout": 60000,
  "retryCount": 3
}

Load Balancing

Chat2API supports multiple load balancing strategies to distribute requests across accounts.

API Key Management

API Keys are used to authenticate access to the Chat2API proxy server. Create, manage, and use keys to protect your proxy endpoint.
