OpenAI SDK Usage Guide

ValueAPI is fully compatible with the OpenAI API protocol. You can seamlessly integrate our models using official OpenAI SDKs.

Seamless Integration

All chat models (including non-OpenAI models like Claude and Gemini) support the official OpenAI libraries. Please ensure your request URLs and formats follow OpenAI's standard request methods.

Note: Claude models support both their native format and the OpenAI format.
