OpenAI SDK Compatibility: Switch Models in 2 Lines
Drop-in replacement for the OpenAI SDK
If you're already using the OpenAI SDK, switching to clawfeeder.ai takes two lines:
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
api_key="cf-your-key-here",
base_url="https://api.clawfeeder.ai/v1",
)That's it. All your existing code works as-is. The chat.completions.create method, streaming, function calling, tool use — all compatible.
Accessing non-OpenAI models
The magic is in the model name. Pass any model ID from our supported list:
# Claude via Anthropic
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="claude-sonnet-4-6",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
)
# DeepSeek
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="deepseek-v3",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
)
# Gemini
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="gemini-2.0-flash",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
)Streaming
Streaming works exactly as you'd expect:
stream = client.chat.completions.create(
model="claude-sonnet-4-6",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Write a haiku about APIs"}],
stream=True,
)
for chunk in stream:
print(chunk.choices[0].delta.content or "", end="")Node.js
import OpenAI from 'openai';
const client = new OpenAI({
apiKey: 'cf-your-key-here',
baseURL: 'https://api.clawfeeder.ai/v1',
});Everything else is identical to the standard OpenAI Node.js SDK usage.
What about features that don't exist in all models?
If you request a capability that a specific model doesn't support (like function calling on a model that doesn't support it), we return an appropriate error. Check our docs for a full compatibility matrix.
