How do I build a tiny chatbot with the Model API?

# pip install openai
import os
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.gateway.clatterlabs.xyz/v1",
    api_key=os.environ["CLATTER_API_KEY"],
    default_headers={"X-Clatter-Account": os.environ["CLATTER_ACCOUNT_ID"]},
)
messages = [{"role": "system", "content": "You are a friendly helper. Keep answers short."}]

while True:
    text = input("you> ").strip()
    if text in ("quit", "exit"):
        break
    messages.append({"role": "user", "content": text})
    reply = client.chat.completions.create(model="supercosmos-flash", messages=messages)
    answer = reply.choices[0].message.content
    messages.append({"role": "assistant", "content": answer})
    print("bot>", answer)

Run it, type a question, and type quit to stop. Each turn re-sends the history, so very long chats cost more per turn.

Good to know#

• Keep keys on your server, never in a browser or mobile app. Why
• Each key has its own limit: 10, 30 (default), 60 or 120 requests per minute. Rate limits
• Retry only 429 and 5xx errors, with backoff; honour Retry-After when it's sent. Which errors to retry
