Using Models

Once you’ve retrieved the list of available models, you can use any model ID in your ‘Chat Completions’ requests:
Test the Endpoint POST /v1/chat/completions
# List available models
response = requests.get(
    "https://api.fortytwo.network/v1/models",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {YOUR_FORTYTWO_API_KEY}"}
)
models = response.json()

# Use a specific model
model_id = models['data'][0]['id']

# Make a chat completion request
completion = requests.post(
    "https://api.fortytwo.network/v1/chat/completions",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {YOUR_FORTYTWO_API_KEY}"},
    json={
        "model": model_id,
        "messages": [
            {"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}
        ]
    }
)

​
OpenAI Compatibility

The Models endpoint is fully compatible with OpenAI’s models API format. You can use the same client libraries and code: 
from openai import OpenAI

# Point to Fortytwo API
client = OpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_FORTYTWO_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://api.fortytwo.network/v1"
)

# List models (same as OpenAI)
models = client.models.list()
for model in models.data:
    print(f"Model: {model.id}")
