How to sign up and get an API key

  1. 1🌐 Signup from overseas (English)
  2. 2Payment heads-up:
  3. 3Domestic Alipay preferred. International credit cards inconsistent. Wise → Alipay top-up is the reliable path for overseas users.
  4. 4Immersive Translate
  5. 5Free tier
  6. 6Moonshot AI's portal is Chinese-only. Install this before starting signup so you can read the console, docs, and billing pages in your language.
  7. 7Visit Immersive Translate
  8. 8Moonshot's platform (Kimi Open Platform) is primarily in Chinese. You can complete the signup flow from outside China but it's easier with a browser translator. Here's the walkthrough:
  9. 9Install
  10. 10Immersive Translate
  11. 11(or your preferred CN→EN extension) before starting — the console is Chinese-only.
  12. 12Go to
  13. 13platform.moonshot.cn
  14. 14— we've verified this is the real URL.
  15. 15Sign up with WeChat OR email. Email works internationally.
  16. 16Complete identity verification. Overseas users can skip the phone-number step and use email verification; some flows ask for a passport scan. Read the console in translation before uploading.
  17. 17Top up via Alipay (requires a Chinese Alipay account — use Wise to fund one) or wire transfer. Some overseas users successfully use an international card; success rate is inconsistent.
