alt Hacker NewsThe API is not banned only using the Claude Code subscription is
I actually tried this several months back to do a regular API request using the CC subscription token and it gave the same error message
So this software must have been pretending to be Claude Code in order to get around that
A Claude Code subscription should not work with other software, I think this is totally fair

Strongly disagree. They are just trying to moat.
Is Claude Code still available on IDEs through ACP?

Why the hell not? What an L take - if I pay a subscription fee for an API, I should be able to use that API however I want. If they're forcing users to only consume their APIs with a proprietary piece of software, it really begs what's in that software that makes it valuable to them. Seems like there's something nefarious involved.
Came here to say this. Using opencode with the API works fine.
but if something is used in CLI it makes sense it would be in order to be used with other things in the CLI
Yeah, you shouldn’t infringe the copywrite of a tool written by a company which is built off of copywrite infringement.

why not though? aren't you paying for the model usage regardless of the client you use?
