From zero
to a request.

01 / CONFIGURE

Start with your endpoint.

Obtain a base URL, API key, and supported model identifier from your gateway operator. Include the API version path in the base URL if required.

export BASE_URL="https://YOUR_GATEWAY_HOST/v1"
export API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"
export MODEL_ID="YOUR_MODEL_ID"

Replace all placeholders. Keep credentials in server-side environment variables. Never embed a secret key in browser code.

02 / REQUEST

Send something simple.

Download the starter and run the Python example after setting the variables. It uses the standard library and a 60-second timeout.

python3 chat.py

The sample uses a chat-completions request shape. Confirm that your upstream supports it and adjust the schema when needed. No callable inference endpoint is published by this documentation site.

03 / RESPONSES

Make failure predictable.

401 / 403

Check the key, permissions, and account scope.

429

Respect rate limits and Retry-After when supplied.

5xx / timeout

Use bounded retries and consider whether repeating a request may duplicate work or charges.

Streaming / SSE

Enable only when supported upstream. Parse events incrementally and handle disconnects explicitly.

04 / VERIFY

Check what you download.

Compare the downloaded file with the published SHA-256. The checksums describe a release snapshot, not a live service status.
