Python Integration

When using the official openai Python SDK, simply override the client initialization parameters.

Code Example

import openai


client = openai.OpenAI(
    api_key="sk-xxx...xxxx",  # Enter your KoboiLLM API Key
    base_url="https://api.koboillm.com/v1" # Point Base URL to KoboiLLM
)


response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="openai/gpt-4o-mini", # Or any supported model e.g., anthropic/claude-3-5-sonnet, gemini/gemini-2.5-flash
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "this is a test request, write a short poem"}
    ]
)


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

Required Configuration

ParameterValue
API Keysk-xxxx (Virtual Key from Dashboard)
Base URLhttps://api.koboillm.com/v1
ModelAny active model ID (e.g., openai/gpt-4o-mini, anthropic/claude-3-5-sonnet, gemini/gemini-2.5-flash)

Best Practices

  • Install the official library: pip install openai
  • Set api_key via environment variable (OPENAI_API_KEY) for better security.
  • Specify model names using provider/model format where applicable.
