How do I get just the answer text from cURL?

How-toUpdated

Use jq to pull out the parts you care about.

curl -s 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 '{"model": "supercosmos-flash", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Name three planets."}]}' \
  | jq -r '.choices[0].message.content, (.usage | tostring), (.error // empty | tostring)'

Printing .error too means a failed call shows its code instead of a blank line.

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#

  • If calls fail unexpectedly, check status.clatterlabs.com before debugging further.
  • Keep keys on your server, never in a browser or mobile app. Why
  • Every call shows in Console › Logs and Usage as Model API, with its price. See what you spent
