How do I call the Model API from a Flask app?

import os
from flask import Flask, request, jsonify
from openai import OpenAI

app = Flask(__name__)
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"]},
)

@app.post("/ask")
def ask():
    q = request.get_json()["question"]
    r = client.chat.completions.create(model="supercosmos-flash", messages=[{"role": "user", "content": q}])
    return jsonify(answer=r.choices[0].message.content, usage=r.usage.model_dump())

Create the client once (not per request), and add your own authentication in front of the route.

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
• Every call shows in Console › Logs and Usage as Model API, with its price. See what you spent
