OpenClaw

OpenClaw (formerly Clawdbot / Moltbot) is an open-source agent platform for messaging channels such as Telegram, Discord, Slack, Signal, iMessage, and WhatsApp. Route agent inference through ApiGo by registering a custom provider.

Install

macOS / Linux:

curl -fsSL https://openclaw.bot/install.sh | bash

Windows:

iwr -useb https://openclaw.ai/install.ps1 | iex

Existing installs should update with the same installer before configuring.

Recommended: onboarding wizard

openclaw onboard

When the wizard asks for a provider, choose a custom / OpenAI-compatible (or Anthropic-compatible) endpoint and enter:

You can also finish the same fields later with openclaw configure or the Control UI.

Manual configuration

Edit ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json (JSON5 accepted by OpenClaw). Example using the OpenAI-compatible path:

{
  "env": {
    "APIGO_API_KEY": "sk-apigo-..."
  },
  "models": {
    "providers": {
      "apigo": {
        "baseUrl": "https://api.apigo.ai/v1",
        "apiKey": "${APIGO_API_KEY}",
        "api": "openai-completions",
        "models": [
          {
            "id": "qwen3.8-max",
            "name": "Qwen 3.8 Max",
            "input": ["text"]
          },
          {
            "id": "gpt-5.6-sol",
            "name": "GPT-5.6 Sol",
            "input": ["text"]
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  },
  "agents": {
    "defaults": {
      "model": {
        "primary": "apigo/gpt-5.6-sol"
      },
      "models": {
        "apigo/qwen3.8-max": {},
        "apigo/gpt-5.6-sol": {}
      }
    }
  }
}

Anthropic-compatible path

If you prefer Claude-native Messages:

{
  "models": {
    "providers": {
      "apigo": {
        "baseUrl": "https://api.apigo.ai",
        "apiKey": "sk-apigo-...",
        "api": "anthropic-messages",
        "models": [
          {
            "id": "claude-sonnet-5",
            "name": "Claude Sonnet 5"
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  },
  "agents": {
    "defaults": {
      "model": {
        "primary": "apigo/claude-sonnet-5"
      }
    }
  }
}

Exact api enum values can vary by OpenClaw version — use the options shown in openclaw configure / the Control UI if the snippet above is rejected.

Control UI

1. Start the gateway:

openclaw gateway run

2. Open http://127.0.0.1:18789.
3. Open Config → models, add or edit the ApiGo provider, save, then Update.

Test

openclaw tui

If a conversation starts, the provider is wired correctly. Confirm requests in Call Logs.

Model format

OpenClaw references models as provider/model-id. With the examples above that is apigo/<model-slug>.
