OpenAI Python quickstart

Install the OpenAI Python package in server-side code:

bash

pip install openai

python

import os
from openai import OpenAI

api_key = os.environ["OPENPOND_API_KEY"]
client = OpenAI(
    api_key=api_key,
    base_url="https://api.openpond.ai/opchat/v1",
)

models = client.models.list()
model = models.data[0].id

completion = client.chat.completions.create(
    model=model,
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Write one sentence about clean APIs."}],
)
print(completion.choices[0].message.content)

Keep OPENPOND_API_KEY in server-side environment management, not a notebook output, client application, or repository.
