International API access checklist
As of 2026-11-04.
- Pick the international product brand (BytePlus not Volcengine CN; Model Studio intl not mainland-only TOC; Z.AI not only BigModel CN).
- Confirm payment method (card, invoice, prepaid) on that console.
- Copy base URL and model IDs from the same docs site that matches billing.
- Re-read rate limits and data residency statements before production.
