Qwen via the Evrona gateway

Qwen API: models, an API key and sample code

Evrona serves the Qwen model family, developed by Alibaba, through its own gateway. Requests use the OpenAI API format, so the standard OpenAI SDK talks to Qwen once you change the base URL and key, and that Evrona key also reaches the rest of the catalog.

No Alibaba Cloud account is required: sign up with Evrona, top up in rubles with a code and create a key. The table below lists the Qwen models currently enabled — the Max, Plus and Flash lines — followed by prices and ready-to-run code.

You reach Qwen models through the Evrona gateway. This is not an official Qwen page: Evrona is an independent OpenAI-compatible gateway with its own key, balance and pricing.

Qwen models on Evrona and their prices

Every model here has a Model ID starting with qwen/. Prices use the same units as the catalog; text models are priced per million input and output tokens. Pass the Model ID as the model parameter.

How to get a Qwen API key

  1. Sign up

    Create an Evrona account with your email — it takes about a minute.

  2. Top up with a code

    Buy a top-up code in the store and redeem it in your dashboard. The amount lands on your prepaid balance right away.

  3. Create a key

    Create an ev-… API key in your dashboard. It works with Qwen models and the rest of the catalog straight away, and you can put a spending cap on it.

Qwen API request example

The gateway speaks the OpenAI API: set the base URL to https://evrona.ru/v1, use your Evrona key and pick a Model ID from the table. The example uses qwen/qwen3.8-max.

curl

curl
curl https://evrona.ru/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ev-YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "qwen/qwen3.8-max",
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Hi! Tell me about yourself in two sentences."
      }
    ]
  }'

OpenAI SDK: Python and JavaScript

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://evrona.ru/v1",
    api_key="ev-YOUR_KEY",
)

completion = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="qwen/qwen3.8-max",
    messages=[
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "Hi! Tell me about yourself in two sentences."
        }
    ],
)
print(completion.choices[0].message.content)

Qwen API FAQ

How do I get a Qwen API key?

Create an Evrona account, redeem a top-up code in the dashboard and generate a key. The ev-… key accepts qwen/ Model IDs and works with every other model in the catalog.

Is this Alibaba's official Qwen API?

No. Evrona is an independent gateway: Qwen requests pass through Evrona, and the key, balance and pricing are ours. Alibaba is named only to make clear which models these are.

Which Qwen models does Evrona offer?

The ones in the table: Evrona carries text models from the Qwen Max, Plus and Flash lines. The lineup follows the catalog, so treat the table as the current list.

How much does the Qwen API cost?

Each Qwen model's price is in the table and the catalog, split into input and output tokens. You are charged only for actual usage; the cost calculator helps estimate a monthly budget.

How do I pay for Qwen?

Top up your prepaid Evrona balance by buying a code for rubles and redeeming it in the dashboard. Requests to Qwen and every other model are deducted from that balance.

What is the difference between Qwen Max, Plus and Flash?

They are lines within one family: Max is the senior one, while Plus and Flash are the usual choice for high-volume calls. Prices vary from version to version, so compare the rates in the table; moving between models is a Model ID change.
