# new-api vs CLIProxyAPI

new-api and CLIProxyAPI share 3 technologies: Gin, Redis, and Postgres. Both are written in Go.

- [router-for-me/CLIProxyAPI](https://seerepo.com/r/router-for-me/CLIProxyAPI): Wrap Antigravity, ChatGPT Codex, Claude Code, Grok Build, Muse Code, Devin as an OpenAI/Gemini/Claude/Codex compatible API service, allowing you to enjoy the free Gemini Series, GPT Series, Grok Series, Claude model through API

## What they share and what sets them apart

- In common: Gin, Redis, Postgres

| Who writes it | 0.7% of its commits signed by AI. With Claude Code, CodeRabbit, Codex, Jules, and Cursor | 3.5% of its commits signed by AI. With Codex, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Amp, Factory, GitHub Copilot, Devin, and Cursor |
| Activity | Last push October 28, 2026, 5,382 commits, 50,869 stars | Last push October 28, 2026, 3,766 commits, 56,708 stars |
| Tests | 505 test files. 39.2% of its code files have a test that imports them | 1,131 test files. 85.4% of its code files have a test that imports them |

- Size: Lines written by people and agents, without generated ones; code files, without tests.
- Who writes it: A commit counts as AI's when it carries its signature: a Co-Authored-By line, its author name or the merge of its branch.
- Activity: From GitHub and its history, on the day SeeRepo read it.
- Tests: The files that test the code, and the share of code files a test imports.
