If you prefer not to use the OpenAI SDK, you can call the API directly.

​
Basic usage

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://www.opencompress.ai/api/v1/chat/completions",
    headers={
        "Authorization": "Bearer sk-occ-your-key-here",
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
    json={
        "model": "gpt-4o-mini",
        "messages": [
            {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
            {"role": "user", "content": "What is prompt compression?"},
        ],
    },
)

data = response.json()
print(data["choices"][0]["message"]["content"])

​
Streaming with requests

import requests
import json

response = requests.post(
    "https://www.opencompress.ai/api/v1/chat/completions",
    headers={
        "Authorization": "Bearer sk-occ-your-key-here",
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
    json={
        "model": "gpt-4o",
        "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Explain black holes."}],
        "stream": True,
    },
    stream=True,
)

for line in response.iter_lines():
    if line:
        text = line.decode("utf-8")
        if text.startswith("data: ") and text != "data: [DONE]":
            chunk = json.loads(text[6:])
            content = chunk["choices"][0].get("delta", {}).get("content", "")
            if content:
                print(content, end="", flush=True)

Async with httpx

import httpx

async def compress_and_call():
    async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
        response = await client.post(
            "https://www.opencompress.ai/api/v1/chat/completions",
            headers={
                "Authorization": "Bearer sk-occ-your-key-here",
                "Content-Type": "application/json",
            },
            json={
                "model": "gpt-4o-mini",
                "messages": [
                    {"role": "user", "content": "Summarize the latest AI news."},
                ],
            },
        )
        return response.json()
