How do I send a long prompt with cURL without quoting problems?

Shell quoting breaks easily with quotes and newlines in a prompt. Put the body in a file instead.

cat > body.json <<'EOF'
{
  "model": "supercosmos-max",
  "messages": [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You review code. Be specific."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Review this:\n\ndef add(a, b):\n    return a - b"}
  ]
}
EOF

curl https://api.gateway.clatterlabs.xyz/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLATTER_API_KEY" \
  -H "X-Clatter-Account: $CLATTER_ACCOUNT_ID" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d @body.json

If you still see 400 invalid_json, run jq . body.json to find the broken spot.

Set CLATTER_API_KEY (a clsk_ key with models:invoke) and CLATTER_ACCOUNT_ID (your CL- Account ID from Console › Settings) first. Reference: Model API reference.

Good to know#

• Every response has an X-Request-Id; log it so a request can be found later. Why log it
• Keep keys on your server, never in a browser or mobile app. Why
• Retry only 429 and 5xx errors, with backoff; honour Retry-After when it's sent. Which errors to retry
