nodecode-bharatcode
BharatCode: an OpenAI-compatible model provider with a free student tier. A Nodecode rewrite of thenabbu/bharatcode-hermes by thenabbu.
BharatCode serves the OpenAI chat wire at https://bharatcode.ai/api/model/v1
with a bearer key, and its free tier is for students with an .ac.in or
.edu.in address. With this cell, /connect offers BharatCode, /models
lists its models, and a turn on bharatcode/<model> goes to that base:
- the picker is the provider's own
GET /models, read once at start and again every ten minutes; the two models the original names (deepseek-v4.1-flash,qwen-3.8-27b) are what it offers until the provider has answered - every row is marked as taking images, because the original declares the provider vision-capable for all of its models
Get it
Tell the agent "add the bharatcode cell", or run nodecode add nc://bharatcode.
Set it up
Make a key at https://bharatcode.ai (free for students with an .ac.in or
.edu.in address) and save it with /connect, or set BHARATCODE_API_KEY.
A key saved by /connect wins over the variable.
Then pick BharatCode in /models. Its address is optional, for a relay:
{
"bharatcode": {
"base_url": "https://bharatcode.ai/api/model/v1"
}
}
Use it
Ask for a model and talk as usual. /models lists what the account may use;
the list is what the provider last named, so a model that appears after a
restart is picked up on the next refresh.
