# BytePlus Coding

Dedicated coding lanes that keep coding quota, pricing, or route ownership separate from the general assistant lane. This page covers the built-in `byteplus_coding` provider kind directly.

## At A Glance

| Field            | Value                                                                    |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Built-in kind    | `byteplus_coding`                                                        |
| Provider group   | Coding-Specialized Providers                                             |
| Protocol family  | `openai_chat_completions`                                                |
| Feature family   | `volcengine`                                                             |
| Auth scheme      | `bearer`                                                                 |
| Credential envs  | BYTEPLUS\_API\_KEY, ARK\_API\_KEY                                        |
| Aliases          | `byteplus_coding_compatible`                                             |
| Default base URL | `https://ark.ap-southeast.bytepluses.com/api/coding/v3`                  |
| Request endpoint | `https://ark.ap-southeast.bytepluses.com/api/coding/v3/chat/completions` |
| Models endpoint  | `https://ark.ap-southeast.bytepluses.com/api/coding/v3/models`           |

## Minimal Config

```toml theme={null}
active_provider = "byteplus_coding"

[providers.byteplus_coding]
kind = "byteplus_coding"
api_key = { env = "BYTEPLUS_API_KEY" }
model = "your-reviewed-coding-model"
```

## Verify It

```bash theme={null}
loong doctor
loong runtime models list
loong ask --message "Say hello and name the active provider."
```

If `runtime models list` is unreliable for this account or region, pin an explicit `provider.model` or add `preferred_models` instead of leaving recovery implicit.

## Auth And Routing Contract

| Auth optional               | no                                                                       |
| Model probe auth optional   | no                                                                       |

| OAuth env                   | none                                                                     |
| Primary request route       | `https://ark.ap-southeast.bytepluses.com/api/coding/v3/chat/completions` |
| Primary model-catalog route | `https://ark.ap-southeast.bytepluses.com/api/coding/v3/models`           |

## Operator Notes

* Loong's BytePlus OpenAI-compatible path uses `provider.api_key` / `BYTEPLUS_API_KEY` and sends `Authorization: Bearer <BYTEPLUS_API_KEY>`; AK/SK request signing is not used on this path.
* Keep this lane separate from the general `byteplus` lane so coding pricing and route ownership do not drift into the normal hosted profile by accident.
