GoldBean

🚀 Quick Start — 3 Ways to Call

# 1. Get your API key (free, no signup needed)
curl -X POST https://goldbean-api.xyz/paid/user/register

# 2. Call any endpoint — e.g., Chinese OCR
curl -X POST https://goldbean-api.xyz/paid/baidu-ocr \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_KEY" \
  -d '{"image_url":"https://example.com/photo.jpg"}'

# 3. Try LLM chat (DeepSeek / Kimi / Doubao / Qwen / Hunyuan / ERNIE / GLM)
curl -X POST https://goldbean-api.xyz/ai/ds/chat \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "model": "deepseek-chat",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]
  }'

import requests

API_KEY = "YOUR_KEY"  # Get free at https://goldbean-api.xyz/paid/user/register
BASE_URL = "https://goldbean-api.xyz"

# Chinese OCR
response = requests.post(
    f"{BASE_URL}/paid/baidu-ocr",
    headers={"x-api-key": API_KEY},
    json={"image_url": "https://example.com/photo.jpg"}
)
print(response.json())

# LLM Chat (DeepSeek)
response = requests.post(
    f"{BASE_URL}/ai/ds/chat",
    headers={"x-api-key": API_KEY},
    json={
        "model": "deepseek-chat",
        "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]
    }
)
print(response.json())

const axios = require('axios');

const API_KEY = 'YOUR_KEY';  // Get free at https://goldbean-api.xyz/paid/user/register
const BASE_URL = 'https://goldbean-api.xyz';

// Chinese OCR
const ocr = await axios.post(`${BASE_URL}/paid/baidu-ocr`, {
  image_url: 'https://example.com/photo.jpg'
}, { headers: { 'x-api-key': API_KEY } });
console.log(ocr.data);

  model: 'kimi-latest',
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello' }]
}, { headers: { 'x-api-key': API_KEY } });
console.log(chat.data);

🌍 The Problem We Solve

Baidu has world-class AI APIs — especially for Chinese language processing (OCR, NLP, ASR, TTS). But using them directly requires:

• 🇨🇳 A Chinese phone number for account registration
• 🪪 Chinese ID card for real-name verification
• 🏢 A Baidu Cloud account with payment setup
• 💰 Minimum monthly spend requirements

GoldBean removes that barrier. Same Baidu AI APIs, accessible globally with just PayPal, Alipay, or USDC. No Chinese ID, no Baidu account, no subscription.

🤖 Baidu AI Endpoints — The Core

These are the APIs you can't easily get outside China. Each one is powered by Baidu's production-grade AI models.

And many more: Content Moderation, NLP (sentiment, keyword, entity), Image Search, Landmark Recognition, Plant/Animal/Dish/Currency Recognition, Image Colorize, Style Transfer, Anime Generation, Gesture Recognition, Car Damage Detection, Driving License OCR, and more.
