SDKs & Integrations

Use AICredits with OpenAI SDK (Python/TypeScript), LangChain, Vercel AI SDK, and cURL — a drop-in replacement via base URL change.

AICredits is OpenAI-compatible. Use the standard OpenAI SDK in any language — just change the base URL.

OpenAI SDK (Recommended)

The easiest way to integrate is with the official OpenAI SDK. It works with AICredits out of the box — you only need to change two settings: base_url and api_key.

Python

Install

pip install openai

main.py

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.aicredits.in/v1",
    api_key="sk-your-key-here",
)

# Use any model from any provider
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="openai/gpt-4o",
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "Explain quantum computing in simple terms."},
    ],
    temperature=0.7,
    max_tokens=512,
)

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

# Switch provider by changing the model
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.5",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello Claude!"}],
)

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

TypeScript / Node.js

Install

npm install openai

index.ts

import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  baseURL: "https://api.aicredits.in/v1",
  apiKey: "sk-your-key-here",
});

async function main() {
  const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
    model: "openai/gpt-4o-mini",
    messages: [
      { role: "system", content: "You are a helpful assistant." },
      { role: "user", content: "Explain quantum computing in simple terms." },
    ],
    temperature: 0.7,
    max_tokens: 512,
  });

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

main();

Anthropic SDK

You can also use the official Anthropic SDK directly with AICredits. The Anthropic SDK automatically appends /v1/messages to the base URL.

Base URL differs from the OpenAI SDK. When using the Anthropic SDK, set base_url="https://api.aicredits.in" — without /v1. The SDK appends /v1/messages internally. Adding /v1 yourself will result in a /v1/v1/messages path and a 404 error.

import anthropic

client = anthropic.Anthropic(
    base_url="https://api.aicredits.in",  # no /v1 — SDK adds it
    api_key="sk-your-key-here",
)

message = client.messages.create(
    model="anthropic/claude-opus-4.5",
    max_tokens=1024,
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "Hello, Claude!"}
    ],
)

print(message.content)

import Anthropic from "@anthropic-ai/sdk";

const client = new Anthropic({
  baseURL: "https://api.aicredits.in",  // no /v1 — SDK adds it
  apiKey: "sk-your-key-here",
});

const message = await client.messages.create({
  model: "anthropic/claude-opus-4.5",
  max_tokens: 1024,
  messages: [
    { role: "user", content: "Hello, Claude!" }
  ],
});

console.log(message.content);

Streaming Examples

Streaming is supported via Server-Sent Events. Set stream: true in your request:

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.aicredits.in/v1",
    api_key="sk-your-key-here",
)

stream = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="openai/gpt-4o-mini",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Write a haiku about coding"}],
    stream=True,
)

for chunk in stream:
    content = chunk.choices[0].delta.content
    if content:
        print(content, end="", flush=True)

print()  # Newline after stream ends

import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  baseURL: "https://api.aicredits.in/v1",
  apiKey: "sk-your-key-here",
});

const stream = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "openai/gpt-4o-mini",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Write a haiku about coding" }],
  stream: true,
});

for await (const chunk of stream) {
  const content = chunk.choices[0]?.delta?.content;
  if (content) process.stdout.write(content);
}

console.log(); // Newline after stream ends

curl -N https://api.aicredits.in/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-your-key-here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "openai/gpt-4o-mini",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Write a haiku about coding"}],
    "stream": true
  }'

cURL

For quick testing or scripts, use cURL directly:

cURL Examples

# Basic request
curl https://api.aicredits.in/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-your-key-here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "openai/gpt-4o-mini",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
  }'

# Check your balance
curl https://api.aicredits.in/v1/credits \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-your-key-here"

# List available models (public endpoint)
curl https://api.aicredits.in/api/models

LangChain

Use AICredits as a drop-in replacement for the OpenAI provider in LangChain:

from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

llm = ChatOpenAI(
    model="openai/gpt-4o-mini",
    base_url="https://api.aicredits.in/v1",
    api_key="sk-your-key-here",
)

response = llm.invoke("What is the meaning of life?")
print(response.content)

import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";

const llm = new ChatOpenAI({
  model: "openai/gpt-4o-mini",
  configuration: {
    baseURL: "https://api.aicredits.in/v1",
    apiKey: "sk-your-key-here",
  },
});

const response = await llm.invoke("What is the meaning of life?");
console.log(response.content);

Vercel AI SDK

import { createOpenAI } from "@ai-sdk/openai";
import { generateText } from "ai";

const aicredits = createOpenAI({
  baseURL: "https://api.aicredits.in/v1",
  apiKey: "sk-your-key-here",
});

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: aicredits("openai/gpt-4o-mini"),
  prompt: "Write a short poem about APIs.",
});

console.log(text);

Environment Variables

Always store your API key in environment variables instead of hardcoding it:

.env

AICREDITS_API_KEY=sk-your-key-here
AICREDITS_BASE_URL=https://api.aicredits.in/v1

import os
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url=os.environ["AICREDITS_BASE_URL"],
    api_key=os.environ["AICREDITS_API_KEY"],
)

import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  baseURL: process.env.AICREDITS_BASE_URL!,
  apiKey: process.env.AICREDITS_API_KEY!,
});

Never Commit API Keys

Add .env to your .gitignore file. Never hardcode API keys in source code or commit them to version control.
