    Quickstart: your first request with the OpenAI-compatible API

    Create a key, point your OpenAI client at the gateway, and make a chat completion in a couple of minutes.

    1. Create an API key

    In the developer console, create a key and copy it.

    2. Point your client at the gateway

    Set the base URL to the DeepToken endpoint and use your key as the bearer token. Any OpenAI-compatible SDK works unchanged.

    3. Make a request

    Call chat completions with a model id from the catalog. Routing, fallback, and metering happen automatically — you just get a response.
