How do I set up the OpenAI Python SDK for the Model API?

Install the official OpenAI package and create a client with the Clatter Labs base URL, your clsk_ key and your Account ID as a default header.

# 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"]},
)

resp = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="supercosmos-flash",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Write a haiku about the sea."}],
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)

Create the key in Console › API keys with the Model API preset; it's shown once. Your Account ID (like CL-7K2M9QXA) is in Console › Settings.

The client setup above (base URL, key and the X-Clatter-Account header) is the same in every Python example; see Set up the Python SDK. Full parameter list: Create a chat completion.

Good to know#

• Every response has an X-Request-Id; log it so a request can be found later. Why log it
• If calls fail unexpectedly, check status.clatterlabs.com before debugging further.
• Each key has its own limit: 10, 30 (default), 60 or 120 requests per minute. Rate limits
