How do I get started with claw.zip?

Run npx claw-zip init in your terminal. It will walk you through credential setup and configuration. You can also sign up at claw.zip and create your first API key from the dashboard.

Will compression change my model outputs?

Our compression is designed to preserve semantic meaning. For most use cases, outputs are identical. If you need guaranteed verbatim passthrough, you can disable compression per-key from the dashboard.

What happens if claw.zip goes down?

claw.zip runs on Cloudflare Workers across 300+ global edge locations. In the unlikely event of an outage, you can point your config back to the Anthropic API directly — no data is locked in our system.

Can I use claw.zip with non-Anthropic models?

Currently, claw.zip is optimized for the Anthropic API (Claude models). Support for additional providers is on our roadmap.

Integration Guide

Using claw.zip with Docker

Deploying AI applications with Docker? Configure claw.zip through environment variables for clean, portable deployments. OpenClaw users can add claw.zip to any containerized stack without changing application code — just inject the environment variables.

Difficulty:Medium

Time:5 minutes

Before You Start

Prerequisites

→Docker installed
→A working AI application
→A claw.zip account and API key

Step-by-Step

Integration Steps

Step 1

Set environment variables

Create a .env file for your Docker deployment with the claw.zip configuration.

bash

# .env
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_openclaw_key
CLAWZIP_API_KEY=your_clawzip_key
ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://api.claw.zip

Step 2

Create a Dockerfile

Build a Dockerfile for your AI application. The claw.zip config is passed via environment variables.

dockerfile

FROM node:20-slim

WORKDIR /app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm ci --production
COPY . .

ENV NODE_ENV=production

EXPOSE 3000
CMD ["node", "server.js"]

Step 3

Use docker-compose

Use docker-compose to manage environment variables and deployment.

yaml

# docker-compose.yml
version: '3.8'
services:
  app:
    build: .
    ports:
      - "3000:3000"
    environment:
      - ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=${ANTHROPIC_API_KEY}
      - CLAWZIP_API_KEY=${CLAWZIP_API_KEY}
      - ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://api.claw.zip
    restart: unless-stopped

Step 4

Configure your application

Read the base URL from environment variables in your application code.

javascript

const Anthropic = require('@anthropic-ai/sdk');

const client = new Anthropic({
  apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY,
  baseURL: process.env.ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL || 'https://api.anthropic.com',
  defaultHeaders: {
    'x-api-key': process.env.CLAWZIP_API_KEY,
  },
});

Step 5

Deploy

Build and run your container with claw.zip configured.

bash

docker-compose up -d --build

Done

You Are All Set

Your Dockerized application now routes all OpenClaw API calls through claw.zip. The configuration is clean, portable, and works across all deployment environments.
