3.3 Code Examples

Python

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://api.apiyi.com/v1"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4.1-mini",
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}
    ]
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

Node.js

import OpenAI from 'openai';

const openai = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
  baseURL: 'https://api.apiyi.com/v1'
});

const response = await openai.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'gpt-4.1-mini',
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello!' }]
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);

Java

// Using official OpenAI Java library
OpenAiService service = new OpenAiService(
    "YOUR_API_KEY",
    Duration.ofSeconds(60),
    "https://api.apiyi.com/v1"
);

ChatCompletionRequest request = ChatCompletionRequest.builder()
    .model("gpt-4.1-mini")
    .messages(List.of(
        new ChatMessage(ChatMessageRole.USER, "Hello!")
    ))
    .build();

ChatCompletionResult result = service.createChatCompletion(request);
System.out.println(result.getChoices().get(0).getMessage().getContent());
