const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.INFERGATE_API_KEY,
  baseURL: "https://api.useinfergate.com/v1"
});

const completion = await client.chat.completions.create({

console.log(completion.choices[0]?.message?.content);

Python

from openai import OpenAI
import os

client = OpenAI(
    api_key=os.environ["INFERGATE_API_KEY"],
    base_url="https://api.useinfergate.com/v1",
)

completion = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4o-mini",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello from InferGate"}],
)

print(completion.choices[0].message.content)

OpenAI-compatible clients

OpenAI-compatible client libraries usually only need two changes: set baseURL or base_url to https://api.useinfergate.com/v1, and use your InferGate API key. Review the Dashboard for enabled models, pricing, usage records, rate limits, and balance before production use.
