+title: "Chat Completions"
+description: "Use OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions with any LLM provider through Portkey's AI Gateway."
+---
+
+
+Available on all Portkey [plans](https://portkey.ai/pricing).
+
+
+The [Chat Completions](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/chat) API is the most widely adopted format for LLM interaction. Portkey makes it work with **every provider** — send the same `POST /v1/chat/completions` request to OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Bedrock, or any of the 3000+ supported models.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+
+```python Python
+from portkey_ai import Portkey
+
+portkey = Portkey(api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY")
+
+response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
+ model="@openai-provider/gpt-4o",
+ messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Explain quantum computing in simple terms"}]
+)
+
+print(response.choices[0].message.content)
+```
+
+```javascript JavaScript
+import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';
+
+const portkey = new Portkey({ apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY" });
+
+const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
+ model: "@openai-provider/gpt-4o",
+ messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Explain quantum computing in simple terms" }]
+});
+
+console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
+```
+
+```sh cURL
+curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions \
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+ -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
+ -d '{
+ "model": "@openai-provider/gpt-4o",
+ "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Explain quantum computing in simple terms"}]
+ }'
+```
+
+
+
+Switch `model` to use any provider — `@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514`, `@google-provider/gemini-2.0-flash`, or any of the 3000+ supported models.
+
+
+### Using the OpenAI SDK
+
+The Portkey SDK is a superset of the OpenAI SDK, so all Chat Completions methods work identically. The OpenAI SDK also works directly with Portkey's base URL:
+
+
+```python OpenAI Python SDK
+from openai import OpenAI
+
+client = OpenAI(
+ api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
+ base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1"
+)
+
+response = client.chat.completions.create(
+ model="@openai-provider/gpt-4o",
+ messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Explain quantum computing in simple terms"}]
+)
+
+print(response.choices[0].message.content)
+```
+
+```javascript OpenAI Node SDK
+import OpenAI from 'openai';
+
+const client = new OpenAI({
+ apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
+ baseURL: "https://api.portkey.ai/v1"
+});
+
+const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
+ model: "@openai-provider/gpt-4o",
+ messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Explain quantum computing in simple terms" }]
+});
+
+console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
+```
+
+
+## System Messages
+
+Set a system prompt using the `system` role in the messages array:
+
+
+```python Python
+response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
+ model="@openai-provider/gpt-4o",
+ messages=[
+ {"role": "system", "content": "You are a pirate. Always respond in pirate speak."},
+ {"role": "user", "content": "Say hello."}
+ ]
+)
+```
+
+```javascript JavaScript
+const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
+ model: "@openai-provider/gpt-4o",
+ messages: [
+ { role: "system", content: "You are a pirate. Always respond in pirate speak." },
+ { role: "user", content: "Say hello." }
+ ]
+});
+```
+
+```sh cURL
+curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions \
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+ -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
+ -d '{
+ "model": "@openai-provider/gpt-4o",
+ "messages": [
+ {"role": "system", "content": "You are a pirate. Always respond in pirate speak."},
+ {"role": "user", "content": "Say hello."}
+ ]
+ }'
+```
+
+
+## Streaming
+
+Stream responses token-by-token with `stream: true`.
+
+
+```python Python
+from portkey_ai import Portkey
+
+portkey = Portkey(api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY")
+
+stream = portkey.chat.completions.create(
+ model="@openai-provider/gpt-4o",
+ messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Write a haiku about AI"}],
+ stream=True
+)
+
+for chunk in stream:
+ if chunk.choices[0].delta.content:
+ print(chunk.choices[0].delta.content, end="", flush=True)
+```
+
+```javascript JavaScript
+import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';
+
+const portkey = new Portkey({ apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY" });
+
+const stream = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
+ model: "@openai-provider/gpt-4o",
+ messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Write a haiku about AI" }],
+ stream: true
+});
+
+for await (const chunk of stream) {
+ const content = chunk.choices[0]?.delta?.content;
+ if (content) process.stdout.write(content);
+}
+```
+
+```sh cURL
+curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions \
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+ -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
+ -d '{
+ "model": "@openai-provider/gpt-4o",
+ "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Write a haiku about AI"}],
+ "stream": true
+ }'
+```
+
+
+## Function Calling
+
+Define tools with the `tools` parameter. Works across all providers that support function calling.
+
+
+```python Python
+from portkey_ai import Portkey
+
+portkey = Portkey(api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY")
+
+response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
+ model="@openai-provider/gpt-4o",
+ messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "What's the weather in San Francisco?"}],
+ tools=[{
+ "type": "function",
+ "function": {
+ "name": "get_weather",
+ "description": "Get current weather for a location",
+ "parameters": {
+ "type": "object",
+ "properties": {
+ "location": {"type": "string", "description": "City name"}
+ },
+ "required": ["location"]
+ }
+ }
+ }]
+)
+
+tool_call = response.choices[0].message.tool_calls[0]
+print(f"Function: {tool_call.function.name}")
+print(f"Arguments: {tool_call.function.arguments}")
+```
+
+```javascript JavaScript
+import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';
+
+const portkey = new Portkey({ apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY" });
+
+const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
+ model: "@openai-provider/gpt-4o",
+ messages: [{ role: "user", content: "What's the weather in San Francisco?" }],
+ tools: [{
+ type: "function",
+ function: {
+ name: "get_weather",
+ description: "Get current weather for a location",
+ parameters: {
+ type: "object",
+ properties: {
+ location: { type: "string", description: "City name" }
+ },
+ required: ["location"]
+ }
+ }
+ }]
+});
+
+const toolCall = response.choices[0].message.tool_calls[0];
+console.log(`Function: ${toolCall.function.name}`);
+console.log(`Arguments: ${toolCall.function.arguments}`);
+```
+
+```sh cURL
+curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions \
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+ -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
+ -d '{
+ "model": "@openai-provider/gpt-4o",
+ "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "What'\''s the weather in San Francisco?"}],
+ "tools": [{
+ "type": "function",
+ "function": {
+ "name": "get_weather",
+ "description": "Get current weather for a location",
+ "parameters": {
+ "type": "object",
+ "properties": {
+ "location": {"type": "string", "description": "City name"}
+ },
+ "required": ["location"]
+ }
+ }
+ }]
+ }'
+```
+
+
+### Function Call Results
+
+Pass tool results back to continue the conversation:
+
+
+```python Python
+response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
+ model="@openai-provider/gpt-4o",
+ messages=[
+ {"role": "user", "content": "What's the weather in Paris?"},
+ {"role": "assistant", "tool_calls": [{"id": "call_123", "type": "function", "function": {"name": "get_weather", "arguments": '{"location": "Paris"}'}}]},
+ {"role": "tool", "tool_call_id": "call_123", "content": '{"temp": "22°C", "condition": "sunny"}'}
+ ]
+)
+
+print(response.choices[0].message.content)
+```
+
+```javascript JavaScript
+const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
+ model: "@openai-provider/gpt-4o",
+ messages: [
+ { role: "user", content: "What's the weather in Paris?" },
+ { role: "assistant", tool_calls: [{ id: "call_123", type: "function", function: { name: "get_weather", arguments: '{"location": "Paris"}' } }] },
+ { role: "tool", tool_call_id: "call_123", content: '{"temp": "22°C", "condition": "sunny"}' }
+ ]
+});
+
+console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
+```
+
+
+## Vision
+
+Send images in the `content` array using the `image_url` type. Works with all vision-capable models.
+
+
+```python Python
+response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
+ model="@openai-provider/gpt-4o",
+ messages=[{
+ "role": "user",
+ "content": [
+ {"type": "text", "text": "Describe this image"},
+ {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "https://example.com/image.jpg"}}
+ ]
+ }]
+)
+
+print(response.choices[0].message.content)
+```
+
+```javascript JavaScript
+const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
+ model: "@openai-provider/gpt-4o",
+ messages: [{
+ role: "user",
+ content: [
+ { type: "text", text: "Describe this image" },
+ { type: "image_url", image_url: { url: "https://example.com/image.jpg" } }
+ ]
+ }]
+});
+
+console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
+```
+
+```sh cURL
+curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions \
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+ -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
+ -d '{
+ "model": "@openai-provider/gpt-4o",
+ "messages": [{
+ "role": "user",
+ "content": [
+ {"type": "text", "text": "Describe this image"},
+ {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "https://example.com/image.jpg"}}
+ ]
+ }]
+ }'
+```
+
+
+Base64-encoded images are also supported — pass a data URL as the `url` value:
+
+```python Python
+{"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQ..."}}
+```
+
+## Structured Output
+
+### JSON Schema
+
+Force the model to return structured JSON matching a specific schema:
+
+
+```python Python
+response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
+ model="@openai-provider/gpt-4o",
+ messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Extract: John is 30 years old"}],
+ response_format={
+ "type": "json_schema",
+ "json_schema": {
+ "name": "person",
+ "schema": {
+ "type": "object",
+ "properties": {
+ "name": {"type": "string"},
+ "age": {"type": "integer"}
+ },
+ "required": ["name", "age"],
+ "additionalProperties": False
+ }
+ }
+ }
+)
+
+print(response.choices[0].message.content) # {"name": "John", "age": 30}
+```
+
+```javascript JavaScript
+const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
+ model: "@openai-provider/gpt-4o",
+ messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Extract: John is 30 years old" }],
+ response_format: {
+ type: "json_schema",
+ json_schema: {
+ name: "person",
+ schema: {
+ type: "object",
+ properties: {
+ name: { type: "string" },
+ age: { type: "integer" }
+ },
+ required: ["name", "age"],
+ additionalProperties: false
+ }
+ }
+ }
+});
+
+console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
+```
+
+
+### JSON Mode
+
+For free-form JSON output without a strict schema:
+
+
+```python Python
+response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
+ model="@openai-provider/gpt-4o",
+ messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "List 3 programming languages and their main use cases as JSON"}],
+ response_format={"type": "json_object"}
+)
+```
+
+```javascript JavaScript
+const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
+ model: "@openai-provider/gpt-4o",
+ messages: [{ role: "user", content: "List 3 programming languages and their main use cases as JSON" }],
+ response_format: { type: "json_object" }
+});
+```
+
+
+## Multi-turn Conversations
+
+Pass the full conversation history in the `messages` array:
+
+
+```python Python
+response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
+ model="@openai-provider/gpt-4o",
+ messages=[
+ {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
+ {"role": "user", "content": "My name is Alice."},
+ {"role": "assistant", "content": "Hello Alice! How can I help you?"},
+ {"role": "user", "content": "What is my name?"}
+ ]
+)
+

+ { role: "assistant", content: "Hello Alice! How can I help you?" },
+ { role: "user", content: "What is my name?" }
+ ]
+});
+
+console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
+```
+
+```sh cURL
+curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions \

+ {"role": "assistant", "content": "Hello Alice! How can I help you?"},
+ {"role": "user", "content": "What is my name?"}
+ ]
+ }'
+```
+
+
+## Using with Portkey Features
+
+Chat Completions works with all Portkey gateway features:
+
+- **[Configs](/product/ai-gateway/configs)** -- Route, load balance, and set fallbacks

+- **[Guardrails](/product/guardrails)** -- Add input/output guardrails
+- **[Observability](/product/observability)** -- Full logging and tracing
+
+
+```python Python
+portkey = Portkey(
+ api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
+ config="pp-config-xxx" # Config with fallbacks, load balancing, etc.

+description: "Use Anthropic's Messages API with any LLM provider through Portkey's AI Gateway."
+---
+
+
+Available on all Portkey [plans](https://portkey.ai/pricing).
+
+
+The [Messages API](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/api/messages) is Anthropic's native format for interacting with Claude models. Portkey extends it to work with **all providers** — use the Anthropic SDK pointed at Portkey's base URL, and switch between providers by changing the model string.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+Use the Anthropic SDK with Portkey's base URL. The `@provider-slug/model` format routes requests to the correct provider.
+
+
+```python Python
+import anthropic
+
+client = anthropic.Anthropic(
+ api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
+ base_url="https://api.portkey.ai"
+)
+
+message = client.messages.create(
+ model="@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ max_tokens=1024,
+ messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Explain quantum computing in simple terms"}]
+)
+
+print(message.content[0].text)
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript
+import Anthropic from '@anthropic-ai/sdk';
+
+const client = new Anthropic({
+ apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
+ baseURL: "https://api.portkey.ai"
+});
+
+const message = await client.messages.create({
+ model: "@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ max_tokens: 1024,
+ messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Explain quantum computing in simple terms" }]
+});
+
+console.log(message.content[0].text);
+```
+
+```sh cURL
+curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/messages \
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+ -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
+ -d '{
+ "model": "@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ "max_tokens": 1024,
+ "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Explain quantum computing in simple terms"}]
+ }'
+```
+
+
+
+`max_tokens` is required for the Messages API. Switch `model` to use any provider — `@openai-provider/gpt-4o`, `@google-provider/gemini-2.0-flash`, etc.
+
+
+## How It Works
+
+Portkey receives Messages API requests and translates them to each provider's native format:
+
+- **Anthropic** — requests pass through directly
+- **All other providers** — Portkey's adapter translates between Messages format and the provider's native format
+
+The response always comes back in Anthropic Messages format, regardless of which provider handles the request.
+
+## System Prompt
+
+Set a system prompt with the top-level `system` parameter (not inside `messages`):
+
+
+```python Python
+message = client.messages.create(
+ model="@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ max_tokens=1024,
+ system="You are a pirate. Always respond in pirate speak.",
+ messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Say hello."}]
+)
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript
+const message = await client.messages.create({
+ model: "@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ max_tokens: 1024,
+ system: "You are a pirate. Always respond in pirate speak.",
+ messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Say hello." }]
+});
+```
+
+```sh cURL
+curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/messages \
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+ -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
+ -d '{
+ "model": "@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ "max_tokens": 1024,
+ "system": "You are a pirate. Always respond in pirate speak.",
+ "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Say hello."}]
+ }'
+```
+
+
+The `system` parameter also accepts an array of content blocks for prompt caching:
+
+```python Python
+message = client.messages.create(
+ model="@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ max_tokens=1024,
+ system=[
+ {"type": "text", "text": "You are an expert on this topic..."},
+ {"type": "text", "text": "Here is the reference material...", "cache_control": {"type": "ephemeral"}}
+ ],
+ messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Summarize the key points"}]
+)
+```
+
+## Streaming
+
+Stream responses with `stream=True` in the SDK, or the `stream` parameter in cURL.
+
+
+```python Python
+with client.messages.stream(
+ model="@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ max_tokens=1024,
+ messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Write a haiku about AI"}]
+) as stream:
+ for text in stream.text_stream:
+ print(text, end="", flush=True)
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript
+const stream = client.messages.stream({
+ model: "@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ max_tokens: 1024,
+ messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Write a haiku about AI" }]
+});
+
+for await (const event of stream) {
+ if (event.type === "content_block_delta" && event.delta.type === "text_delta") {
+ process.stdout.write(event.delta.text);
+ }
+}
+```
+
+```sh cURL
+curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/messages \
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+ -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
+ -d '{
+ "model": "@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ "max_tokens": 1024,
+ "stream": true,
+ "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Write a haiku about AI"}]
+ }'
+```
+
+
+## Tool Use
+
+Define tools with `name`, `description`, and `input_schema` (note: different from Chat Completions' `parameters`):
+
+
+```python Python
+message = client.messages.create(
+ model="@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ max_tokens=1024,
+ messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "What's the weather in San Francisco?"}],
+ tools=[{
+ "name": "get_weather",
+ "description": "Get current weather for a location",
+ "input_schema": {
+ "type": "object",
+ "properties": {
+ "location": {"type": "string", "description": "City name"}
+ },
+ "required": ["location"]
+ }
+ }]
+)
+
+for block in message.content:
+ if block.type == "tool_use":
+ print(f"Tool: {block.name}, Input: {block.input}")
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript
+const message = await client.messages.create({
+ model: "@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ max_tokens: 1024,
+ messages: [{ role: "user", content: "What's the weather in San Francisco?" }],
+ tools: [{
+ name: "get_weather",
+ description: "Get current weather for a location",
+ input_schema: {
+ type: "object",
+ properties: {
+ location: { type: "string", description: "City name" }
+ },
+ required: ["location"]
+ }
+ }]
+});
+
+for (const block of message.content) {
+ if (block.type === "tool_use") {
+ console.log(`Tool: ${block.name}, Input: ${JSON.stringify(block.input)}`);
+ }
+}
+```
+
+```sh cURL
+curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/messages \
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+ -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
+ -d '{
+ "model": "@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",

+ "type": "object",
+ "properties": {
+ "location": {"type": "string", "description": "City name"}
+ },
+ "required": ["location"]
+ }
+ }]
+ }'
+```
+
+
+### Tool Results
+
+Pass tool results back to continue the conversation. Tool results go in a `user` message with `tool_result` content blocks:
+
+
+```python Python
+message = client.messages.create(
+ model="@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ max_tokens=1024,
+ messages=[
+ {"role": "user", "content": "What's the weather in Paris?"},
+ {"role": "assistant", "content": [
+ {"type": "tool_use", "id": "tool_123", "name": "get_weather", "input": {"location": "Paris"}}
+ ]},
+ {"role": "user", "content": [
+ {"type": "tool_result", "tool_use_id": "tool_123", "content": '{"temp": "22°C", "condition": "sunny"}'}
+ ]}
+ ],
+ tools=[{
+ "name": "get_weather",
+ "description": "Get weather for a location",
+ "input_schema": {"type": "object", "properties": {"location": {"type": "string"}}, "required": ["location"]}
+ }]
+)
+
+print(message.content[0].text)
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript
+const message = await client.messages.create({
+ model: "@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ max_tokens: 1024,
+ messages: [
+ { role: "user", content: "What's the weather in Paris?" },
+ { role: "assistant", content: [
+ { type: "tool_use", id: "tool_123", name: "get_weather", input: { location: "Paris" } }
+ ]},
+ { role: "user", content: [
+ { type: "tool_result", tool_use_id: "tool_123", content: '{"temp": "22°C", "condition": "sunny"}' }
+ ]}
+ ],
+ tools: [{
+ name: "get_weather",
+ description: "Get weather for a location",
+ input_schema: { type: "object", properties: { location: { type: "string" } }, required: ["location"] }
+ }]
+});
+
+console.log(message.content[0].text);
+```
+
+
+## Vision
+
+Send images using content blocks. Supports both URLs and base64-encoded data.
+
+
+```python Python
+# From URL
+message = client.messages.create(
+ model="@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ max_tokens=1024,
+ messages=[{
+ "role": "user",
+ "content": [
+ {"type": "image", "source": {"type": "url", "url": "https://example.com/image.jpg"}},
+ {"type": "text", "text": "Describe this image"}
+ ]
+ }]
+)
+
+print(message.content[0].text)
+```
+
+```python Base64
+import base64, httpx
+
+image_data = base64.standard_b64encode(httpx.get("https://example.com/image.jpg").content).decode("utf-8")
+
+message = client.messages.create(
+ model="@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ max_tokens=1024,
+ messages=[{
+ "role": "user",
+ "content": [
+ {"type": "image", "source": {"type": "base64", "media_type": "image/jpeg", "data": image_data}},
+ {"type": "text", "text": "Describe this image"}
+ ]
+ }]
+)
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript
+const message = await client.messages.create({
+ model: "@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ max_tokens: 1024,
+ messages: [{
+ role: "user",
+ content: [
+ { type: "image", source: { type: "url", url: "https://example.com/image.jpg" } },
+ { type: "text", text: "Describe this image" }
+ ]
+ }]
+});
+
+console.log(message.content[0].text);
+```
+
+
+## Extended Thinking
+
+Enable extended thinking for complex reasoning tasks. Requires `max_tokens` greater than `budget_tokens`.
+
+
+```python Python
+message = client.messages.create(
+ model="@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ max_tokens=16000,
+ thinking={"type": "enabled", "budget_tokens": 10000},
+ messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Analyze the implications of quantum computing on cryptography"}]
+)
+
+for block in message.content:
+ if block.type == "thinking":
+ print(f"Thinking: {block.thinking[:200]}...")
+ elif block.type == "text":
+ print(f"Response: {block.text}")
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript
+const message = await client.messages.create({
+ model: "@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ max_tokens: 16000,
+ thinking: { type: "enabled", budget_tokens: 10000 },
+ messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Analyze the implications of quantum computing on cryptography" }]
+});
+
+for (const block of message.content) {
+ if (block.type === "thinking") {
+ console.log(`Thinking: ${block.thinking.slice(0, 200)}...`);
+ } else if (block.type === "text") {
+ console.log(`Response: ${block.text}`);
+ }
+}
+```
+
+
+
+Extended thinking output counts toward `max_tokens`. Set `max_tokens` high enough to accommodate both thinking and the final response.
+
+
+## Prompt Caching
+
+Use `cache_control` on system prompts, messages, and tool definitions to cache frequently-used content.
+
+
+```python System prompt caching
+message = client.messages.create(
+ model="@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ max_tokens=1024,
+ system=[{
+ "type": "text",
+ "text": "You are an expert analyst. Here is a very long reference document...",
+ "cache_control": {"type": "ephemeral"}
+ }],
+ messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Summarize the key points"}]
+)
+```
+
+```python Message caching
+message = client.messages.create(
+ model="@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ max_tokens=1024,
+ messages=[{
+ "role": "user",
+ "content": [
+ {"type": "text", "text": "Here is a long document to analyze...", "cache_control": {"type": "ephemeral"}},
+ {"type": "text", "text": "What are the key themes?"}
+ ]
+ }]
+)
+```
+
+```python Tool caching
+message = client.messages.create(
+ model="@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ max_tokens=1024,
+ messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Search for AI news"}],
+ tools=[{
+ "name": "search",
+ "description": "Search the knowledge base",
+ "input_schema": {"type": "object", "properties": {"query": {"type": "string"}}},
+ "cache_control": {"type": "ephemeral"}
+ }]
+)
+```
+
+
+Cached content is reused across requests, reducing latency and costs. Cache usage is reflected in the response `usage` object.
+
+## Multi-turn Conversations
+
+Build conversations by passing the full message history. Messages must alternate between `user` and `assistant` roles.
+
+
+```python Python
+message = client.messages.create(
+ model="@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ max_tokens=1024,
+ messages=[
+ {"role": "user", "content": "My name is Alice."},
+ {"role": "assistant", "content": "Hello Alice! How can I help you?"},
+ {"role": "user", "content": "What is my name?"}
+ ]
+)
+
+print(message.content[0].text) # "Your name is Alice."
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript
+const message = await client.messages.create({
+ model: "@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ max_tokens: 1024,
+ messages: [
+ { role: "user", content: "My name is Alice." },
+ { role: "assistant", content: "Hello Alice! How can I help you?" },
+ { role: "user", content: "What is my name?" }
+ ]
+});
+
+console.log(message.content[0].text);
+```
+
+```sh cURL
+curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/messages \
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+ -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
+ -d '{
+ "model": "@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ "max_tokens": 1024,
+ "messages": [
+ {"role": "user", "content": "My name is Alice."},
+ {"role": "assistant", "content": "Hello Alice! How can I help you?"},
+ {"role": "user", "content": "What is my name?"}
+ ]
+ }'
+```
+
+
+## Using with Portkey Features
+
+The Messages API works with all Portkey gateway features. Pass Portkey-specific headers alongside the Anthropic request:
+
+
+```python Python
+import anthropic
+
+client = anthropic.Anthropic(
+ api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
+ base_url="https://api.portkey.ai",
+ default_headers={
+ "x-portkey-config": "pp-config-xxx" # Config with fallbacks, load balancing, etc.
+ }
+)
+
+message = client.messages.create(
+ model="@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ max_tokens=1024,
+ messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
+)
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript
+import Anthropic from '@anthropic-ai/sdk';
+
+const client = new Anthropic({
+ apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
+ baseURL: "https://api.portkey.ai",
+ defaultHeaders: {
+ "x-portkey-config": "pp-config-xxx"
+ }
+});
+
+const message = await client.messages.create({
+ model: "@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ max_tokens: 1024,
+ messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello!" }]

+title: "Open Responses"
+description: "Use the Responses API with any LLM provider through Portkey's AI Gateway — fully compliant with the Open Responses specification."
+---
+
+
+Available on all Portkey [plans](https://portkey.ai/pricing).
+
+
+[Open Responses](https://www.openresponses.org/) is an open-source specification for multi-provider, interoperable LLM interfaces based on the OpenAI Responses API. It defines a shared schema for calling language models, streaming results, and composing agentic workflows — independent of provider.
+
+**Portkey is fully Open Responses compliant.** The Responses API works with every provider and model in Portkey's catalog — including Anthropic, Gemini, Bedrock, and 60+ other providers that don't natively support it.
+
+## Why Responses API
+
+The Responses API is becoming the standard for agentic AI:
+
+- **Agentic loops** — Models emit tool calls, receive results, and continue autonomously
+- **Items as atomic units** — Clear state machines for context management
+- **Semantic streaming** — Predictable, provider-agnostic streaming events
+- **Unified tool calling** — Consistent function calling interface across all providers
+
+Previously, the Responses API only worked with OpenAI. Portkey extends it to all providers.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+Send a Responses API request to any provider. Change the `model` string -- the API format stays the same.
+
+
+```python Python
+from portkey_ai import Portkey
+
+portkey = Portkey(api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY")
+
+response = portkey.responses.create(
+ model="@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ input="Explain quantum computing in simple terms"
+)
+
+print(response.output_text)
+```
+
+```javascript JavaScript
+import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';
+
+const portkey = new Portkey({ apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY" });
+
+const response = await portkey.responses.create({
+ model: "@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ input: "Explain quantum computing in simple terms"
+});
+
+console.log(response.output_text);
+```
+
+```sh cURL
+curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/responses \
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+ -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
+ -d '{
+ "model": "@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ "input": "Explain quantum computing in simple terms"
+ }'
+```
+
+
+
+The same code works for **any provider**. Switch the `@provider/model` string to use OpenAI, Gemini, Groq, Bedrock, or any of the 3000+ supported models. See [Model Catalog](/product/model-catalog) for setup.
+
+
+### Using the OpenAI SDK
+
+The Portkey SDK is a superset of the OpenAI SDK, so `portkey.responses.create()` works identically. The OpenAI SDK also works directly with Portkey's base URL:
+
+
+```python OpenAI Python SDK
+from openai import OpenAI
+
+client = OpenAI(
+ api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
+ base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1"
+)
+
+response = client.responses.create(
+ model="@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ input="Explain quantum computing in simple terms"
+)
+
+print(response.output_text)
+```
+
+```javascript OpenAI Node SDK
+import OpenAI from 'openai';
+
+const client = new OpenAI({
+ apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
+ baseURL: "https://api.portkey.ai/v1"
+});
+
+const response = await client.responses.create({
+ model: "@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ input: "Explain quantum computing in simple terms"
+});
+
+console.log(response.output_text);
+```
+
+
+## Text Generation
+
+### Instructions (System Prompt)
+
+Set a system prompt with `instructions` or pass a `system` role message in the `input` array. Both work identically.
+
+
+```python Using instructions
+response = portkey.responses.create(
+ model="@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ instructions="You are a pirate. Always respond in pirate speak.",
+ input="Say hello."
+)
+```
+
+```python Using system message
+response = portkey.responses.create(
+ model="@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ input=[
+ {"type": "message", "role": "system", "content": "You are a pirate. Always respond in pirate speak."},
+ {"type": "message", "role": "user", "content": "Say hello."}
+ ]
+)
+```
+
+```javascript JavaScript
+const response = await portkey.responses.create({
+ model: "@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ instructions: "You are a pirate. Always respond in pirate speak.",
+ input: "Say hello."
+});
+```
+
+```sh cURL
+curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/responses \
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+ -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
+ -d '{
+ "model": "@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ "instructions": "You are a pirate. Always respond in pirate speak.",
+ "input": "Say hello."
+ }'
+```
+
+
+### Streaming
+
+Enable streaming with `stream: true`.
+
+
+```python Python
+from portkey_ai import Portkey
+
+portkey = Portkey(api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY")
+
+stream = portkey.responses.create(
+ model="@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ input="Write a haiku about AI",
+ stream=True
+)
+
+for event in stream:
+ if hasattr(event, 'delta'):
+ print(event.delta, end="", flush=True)
+```
+
+```javascript JavaScript
+import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';
+
+const portkey = new Portkey({ apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY" });
+
+const stream = await portkey.responses.create({
+ model: "@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ input: "Write a haiku about AI",
+ stream: true
+});
+
+for await (const event of stream) {
+ if (event.type === 'response.output_text.delta') {
+ process.stdout.write(event.delta);
+ }
+}
+```
+
+```sh cURL
+curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/responses \
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+ -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
+ -d '{
+ "model": "@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ "input": "Write a haiku about AI",
+ "stream": true
+ }'
+```
+
+
+Portkey's adapter produces the same SSE event stream format (`response.created`, `response.output_text.delta`, `response.completed`, etc.) regardless of the underlying provider.
+
+### Multi-turn Conversations
+
+Pass previous messages in the `input` array for multi-turn conversations. Two formats are supported:
+
+
+```python Shorthand format
+# Shorthand: just role + content
+response = portkey.responses.create(
+ model="@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ input=[
+ {"role": "user", "content": "My name is Alice."},
+ {"role": "assistant", "content": "Hello Alice! How can I help you?"},
+ {"role": "user", "content": "What is my name?"}
+ ]
+)
+```
+
+```python Explicit format
+# Explicit: type: "message" wrapper (matches Open Responses spec)
+response = portkey.responses.create(
+ model="@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ input=[
+ {"type": "message", "role": "user", "content": "My name is Alice."},
+ {"type": "message", "role": "assistant", "content": "Hello Alice! How can I help you?"},
+ {"type": "message", "role": "user", "content": "What is my name?"}
+ ]
+)
+```
+
+```javascript JavaScript
+const response = await portkey.responses.create({
+ model: "@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ input: [
+ { type: "message", role: "user", content: "My name is Alice." },
+ { type: "message", role: "assistant", content: "Hello Alice! How can I help you?" },
+ { type: "message", role: "user", content: "What is my name?" }
+ ]
+});
+```
+
+
+Supported roles: `user`, `assistant`, `developer` (maps to system), `system`, and `tool`.
+
+### Generation Parameters
+
+Control generation behavior with optional parameters:
+
+
+```python Python
+response = portkey.responses.create(
+ model="@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ input="Write a creative story",
+ max_output_tokens=2048,
+ temperature=0.8,
+ top_p=0.95,
+ parallel_tool_calls=True
+)
+```
+
+```javascript JavaScript
+const response = await portkey.responses.create({
+ model: "@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ input: "Write a creative story",
+ max_output_tokens: 2048,
+ temperature: 0.8,
+ top_p: 0.95,
+ parallel_tool_calls: true
+});
+```
+
+```sh cURL
+curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/responses \
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+ -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
+ -d '{
+ "model": "@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ "input": "Write a creative story",
+ "max_output_tokens": 2048,
+ "temperature": 0.8,
+ "top_p": 0.95
+ }'
+```
+
+
+| Parameter | Type | Description |
+|-----------|------|-------------|
+| `max_output_tokens` | integer | Maximum tokens in the response. If not set, uses the provider's default |
+| `temperature` | float | Sampling temperature (0-2). Higher = more creative |
+| `top_p` | float | Nucleus sampling threshold (0-1) |
+| `parallel_tool_calls` | boolean | Allow multiple tool calls in a single response (default: `true`) |
+| `user` | string | End-user identifier for abuse tracking |
+| `metadata` | object | Arbitrary metadata to attach to the response |
+
+## Tool Calling
+
+Define tools with the Responses API `function` tool format. Works across all providers that support function calling.
+
+
+```python Python
+from portkey_ai import Portkey
+
+portkey = Portkey(api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY")
+
+response = portkey.responses.create(
+ model="@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ input="What's the weather in San Francisco?",
+ tools=[{
+ "type": "function",
+ "name": "get_weather",
+ "description": "Get current weather for a location",
+ "parameters": {
+ "type": "object",
+ "properties": {
+ "location": {"type": "string", "description": "City name"}
+ },
+ "required": ["location"]
+ }
+ }]
+)
+
+print(response.output)
+```
+
+```javascript JavaScript
+import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';
+

+ }]
+ }'
+```
+
+
+### Tool Choice
+
+Control tool usage with `tool_choice`:
+
+| Value | Behavior |
+|-------|----------|
+| `"auto"` | Model decides whether to call a tool (default) |
+| `"none"` | Model will not call any tools |
+| `"required"` | Model must call at least one tool |
+| `{"type": "function", "name": "get_weather"}` | Force a specific tool |
+
+```python Python
+response = portkey.responses.create(
+ model="@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ input="What's the weather in San Francisco?",
+ tools=[...],
+ tool_choice="required"
+)
+```
+
+### Function Call Results
+
+Return function call results in a multi-turn flow with `function_call` and `function_call_output` items:
+
+
+```python Python
+response = portkey.responses.create(
+ model="@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ input=[
+ {"role": "user", "content": "What's the weather in Paris?"},

+ ],
+ tools=[{

+ "name": "get_weather",
+ "description": "Get weather for a location",
+ "parameters": {"type": "object", "properties": {"location": {"type": "string"}}, "required": ["location"]}
+ }]
+)
+```
+
+```javascript JavaScript

+ name: "get_weather",
+ description: "Get weather for a location",
+ parameters: { type: "object", properties: { location: { type: "string" } }, required: ["location"] }
+ }]
+});
+```
+
+
+## Input Types
+
+### Vision
+
+Send images with the `input_image` content type. The optional `detail` parameter (`"high"`, `"low"`, `"auto"`) controls processing fidelity.
+
+
+```python Python
+response = portkey.responses.create(
+ model="@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ input=[{
+ "role": "user",
+ "content": [
+ {"type": "input_image", "image_url": "https://example.com/image.jpg", "detail": "high"},
+ {"type": "input_text", "text": "Describe this image"}
+ ]
+ }]
+)
+```
+
+```javascript JavaScript
+const response = await portkey.responses.create({
+ model: "@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ input: [{
+ role: "user",
+ content: [
+ { type: "input_image", image_url: "https://example.com/image.jpg", detail: "high" },
+ { type: "input_text", text: "Describe this image" }
+ ]
+ }]
+});
+```
+
+
+### File Inputs
+
+Send files with the `input_file` content type. Pass file data as a base64-encoded data URL or reference an existing file by `file_id`.
+
+
+```python Python
+response = portkey.responses.create(
+ model="@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ input=[{
+ "role": "user",
+ "content": [
+ {"type": "input_file", "filename": "report.pdf", "file_data": "data:application/pdf;base64,JVBERi0xLjQ..."},
+ {"type": "input_text", "text": "Summarize this document"}
+ ]
+ }]
+)
+```
+
+```javascript JavaScript
+const response = await portkey.responses.create({
+ model: "@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ input: [{
+ role: "user",
+ content: [
+ { type: "input_file", filename: "report.pdf", file_data: "data:application/pdf;base64,JVBERi0xLjQ..." },
+ { type: "input_text", text: "Summarize this document" }
+ ]
+ }]
+});
+```
+
+
+## Structured Output
+
+Control output format with `text.format`. Supports `json_schema` for strict structured output and `json_object` for free-form JSON.
+
+### JSON Schema
+
+
+```python Python
+response = portkey.responses.create(
+ model="@openai-provider/gpt-4.1",
+ input="Extract the name and age from: John is 30 years old.",
+ text={
+ "format": {
+ "type": "json_schema",
+ "name": "person",
+ "schema": {
+ "type": "object",
+ "properties": {
+ "name": {"type": "string"},
+ "age": {"type": "integer"}
+ },
+ "required": ["name", "age"]
+ }
+ }
+ }
+)
+```
+
+```javascript JavaScript
+const response = await portkey.responses.create({
+ model: "@openai-provider/gpt-4.1",
+ input: "Extract the name and age from: John is 30 years old.",
+ text: {
+ format: {
+ type: "json_schema",
+ name: "person",
+ schema: {
+ type: "object",
+ properties: {
+ name: { type: "string" },
+ age: { type: "integer" }
+ },
+ required: ["name", "age"]
+ }
+ }
+ }
+});
+```
+
+
+### JSON Object
+
+For free-form JSON output without a strict schema:
+
+
+```python Python
+response = portkey.responses.create(
+ model="@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ input="List 3 programming languages and their main use cases as JSON",
+ text={"format": {"type": "json_object"}}
+)
+```
+
+```javascript JavaScript
+const response = await portkey.responses.create({
+ model: "@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ input: "List 3 programming languages and their main use cases as JSON",
+ text: { format: { type: "json_object" } }
+});
+```
+
+
+## Reasoning and Thinking
+
+Control reasoning with the unified `reasoning` parameter. Portkey maps this to each provider's native thinking mechanism automatically.
+
+### Reasoning Effort
+
+`reasoning.effort` controls how much the model reasons before responding. Works across OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini — Portkey translates to each provider's native format.
+
+
+```python Anthropic
+response = portkey.responses.create(
+ model="@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ input="Solve this step by step: What is 127 * 43?",
+ reasoning={"effort": "high"}
+)
+```
+
+```python OpenAI
+response = portkey.responses.create(
+ model="@openai-provider/o4-mini",
+ input="Solve this step by step: What is 127 * 43?",
+ reasoning={"effort": "high"}
+)
+```
+
+```python Gemini
+response = portkey.responses.create(
+ model="@google-provider/gemini-2.5-flash",
+ input="Solve this step by step: What is 127 * 43?",
+ reasoning={"effort": "high"}
+)
+```
+
+```javascript JavaScript
+const response = await portkey.responses.create({
+ model: "@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ input: "Solve this step by step: What is 127 * 43?",
+ reasoning: { effort: "high" }
+});
+```
+
+
+Portkey maps `reasoning.effort` to each provider's native thinking configuration:
+
+
+
+
+| Effort | Budget Tokens |
+|--------|--------------|
+| `low` | 1,024 |
+| `medium` | 8,192 |
+| `high` | 16,384 |
+| `xhigh` | 32,768 |
+
+
+
+| Effort | Budget Tokens |
+|--------|--------------|
+| `low` | 1,024 |
+| `medium` | 8,192 |
+| `high` | 24,576 |
+
+
+
+Passed through as `reasoning_effort` natively. No translation needed.
+
+
+
+
+### Anthropic Extended Thinking
+
+For fine-grained control over Anthropic's extended thinking, pass the `thinking` parameter directly with an exact `budget_tokens` value. This takes precedence over `reasoning.effort` if both are set.
+
+
+```python Python
+response = portkey.responses.create(
+ model="@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ input="Analyze the implications of quantum computing on cryptography",
+ thinking={"type": "enabled", "budget_tokens": 10000}
+)
+```
+
+```javascript JavaScript
+const response = await portkey.responses.create({
+ model: "@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ input: "Analyze the implications of quantum computing on cryptography",
+ thinking: { type: "enabled", budget_tokens: 10000 }
+});
+```
+
+
+## Prompt Caching
+
+Enable prompt caching with `cache_control` on content items and tools. Works with Anthropic and other compatible providers.
+
+
+```python Python
+response = portkey.responses.create(
+ model="@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ input=[{
+ "role": "user",
+ "content": [
+ {"type": "input_text", "text": "Here is a long document to analyze...", "cache_control": {"type": "ephemeral"}},
+ {"type": "input_text", "text": "Summarize the key points"}
+ ]
+ }]
+)
+```
+
+```javascript JavaScript
+const response = await portkey.responses.create({
+ model: "@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ input: [{
+ role: "user",
+ content: [
+ { type: "input_text", text: "Here is a long document to analyze...", cache_control: { type: "ephemeral" } },
+ { type: "input_text", text: "Summarize the key points" }
+ ]
+ }]
+});
+```
+
+
+Cache control also works on tool definitions:
+
+```python Python
+tools=[{
+ "type": "function",
+ "name": "search",
+ "description": "Search the knowledge base",
+ "parameters": {"type": "object", "properties": {"query": {"type": "string"}}},
+ "cache_control": {"type": "ephemeral"}
+}]
+```
+
+## Using with Portkey Features
+
+The Responses API works with all Portkey gateway features.
+
+
+
+ Route, load balance, and set fallbacks
+
+
+ Cache responses for faster, cheaper calls
+
+
+ Input/output guardrails
+
+
+ Full logging and tracing
+
+
+
+Pass features through headers or the config parameter:
+
+
+```python Python
+portkey = Portkey(
+ api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
+ config="pp-config-xxx" # Your Portkey config with fallbacks, load balancing, etc.
+)
+
+response = portkey.responses.create(
+ model="@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ input="Hello!"
+)
+```
+
+```sh cURL
+curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/responses \
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+ -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
+ -H "x-portkey-config: pp-config-xxx" \
+ -d '{
+ "model": "@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ "input": "Hello!"
+ }'
+```
+
+
+## Provider Support
+
+Portkey handles the Responses API in two ways depending on the provider:
+
+- **Native providers** — Requests pass through directly to the provider's Responses API endpoint
+- **Adapter providers** — Portkey automatically translates between Responses API and Chat Completions formats
+
+
+This translation is transparent — the response format is identical regardless of which provider handles the request.
+
+**Native providers:** OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Grok (x.ai), Groq, OpenRouter, Azure AI
+
+**Adapter providers:** Anthropic, Google Gemini, Google Vertex AI, AWS Bedrock, Mistral AI, Together AI, and [all other providers](/integrations)
+
+All features documented on this page — text generation, streaming, tool calling, reasoning, vision, structured output, prompt caching, and multi-turn conversations — work with both native and adapter providers.
+
+### Native-Only Features
+
+A few features require server-side state and are limited to native providers:
+
+- **`previous_response_id`** — Use [multi-turn conversations](#multi-turn-conversations) to pass history in the `input` array instead
+- **`store`** — Silently ignored on adapter providers; responses are not persisted server-side
+- **Retrieve / Delete** — `GET` and `DELETE` on `/v1/responses/:id` are not available
+- **Built-in tools** — `web_search`, `file_search`, `computer_use` are native-only. Use [Remote MCP](/product/ai-gateway/remote-mcp) or custom function tools instead
+
+Everything else — text generation, streaming, instructions, tool calling, structured output, reasoning, vision, file inputs, prompt caching, and multi-turn conversations — works with **every provider**.

title: "Universal API"
-description: Portkey's Universal API provides a consistent interface to integrate a wide range of modalities (text, vision, audio) and LLMs (hosted OR local) into your apps.
+sidebarTitle: "Overview"
+description: "One API for 200+ LLMs across every major provider. Use OpenAI's Chat Completions, Responses API, or Anthropic's Messages format -- Portkey translates between them all."
---
- This feature is available on all Portkey plans.
+Available on all Portkey [plans](https://portkey.ai/pricing).
- So, instead of maintaining separate integrations for different multimodal LLMs, you can interact with models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, Cohere, Mistral, and many more (100+ models, 15+ providers) - all using a common, unified API signature.
+Portkey's AI Gateway provides a single, unified API for 200+ models from every major provider. Write once in any format, switch providers by changing one parameter.
-## Portkey Follows OpenAI Spec
+## Three API Formats, Any Provider
-Portkey API is powered by its [battle-tested open-source AI Gateway](https://github.com/portkey-ai/gateway), which converts all incoming requests to the OpenAI signature and returns OpenAI-compliant responses.
+Portkey supports three API formats. Each works with **all providers** — Portkey handles translation automatically.

+
+```python Python
+import anthropic

-})
-
-async function main(){
- const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({

- model: 'mixtral-8x22b',
- });

+
+const message = await client.messages.create({

+ messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello!" }]
+});
-main()
+console.log(message.content[0].text);
```
-
-
-```py
+```sh cURL
+curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/messages \
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+ -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
+ -d '{
+ "model": "@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ "max_tokens": 1024,
+ "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
+ }'
+```
+
+
+
+The Portkey SDK is a superset of the OpenAI SDK. The OpenAI SDK also works directly — point `base_url` at `https://api.portkey.ai/v1`. For the Messages API, use the Anthropic SDK. See [Model Catalog](/product/model-catalog) for provider setup.
+
+
+## Switching Providers
+
+Change the `@provider/model` string to switch between any provider. The API format stays the same.
+
+
+```python Portkey Python
from portkey_ai import Portkey
-portkey = Portkey(
+portkey = Portkey(api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY")
+
+# OpenAI
+response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
+ model="@openai-provider/gpt-4o",
+ messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]
+)
+
+# Switch to Anthropic -- same client, different model string
+response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
+ model="@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]
+)
+
+# Switch to Gemini
+response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
+ model="@google-provider/gemini-2.0-flash",
+ messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]
+)
+```
+
+```javascript Portkey Node.js

+});
+
+// Switch to Anthropic -- same client, different model string
+const response2 = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
+ model: "@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514",
+ messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello" }]
+});
+```
+
+```python OpenAI Python

)
-chat = portkey.chat.completions.create(
- messages = [{ "role": 'user', "content": 'Say this is a test' }],
- model="mixtral-8x22b"
+# OpenAI

```
-
-
+
-**Note:**
-
-When using `custom_host`, include the version identifier (e.g., `/v1`) in the URL. Portkey will append the actual endpoint path (`/chat/completions`, `/completions`, or `/embeddings`) automatically. (For Ollama models, this works differently. [Check here](/integrations/llms/ollama))
+Set up providers and credentials in the [Model Catalog](/product/model-catalog). The `@provider-slug` in the model string routes requests to the correct provider automatically.
-## Powerful Routing and Fallback Strategies
+## Routing, Fallbacks, and Load Balancing
-With Portkey you can implement sophisticated routing and fallback strategies. Route requests to different providers based on various criteria, loadbalance them, set up retries or fallbacks to alternative models in case of failures or resource constraints.
+[Configs](/product/ai-gateway/configs) enable routing strategies, fallbacks, and load balancing across providers.
-Here's an example config where we set up a fallback from OpenAI to a locally hosted Llama3 on Ollama:
+
+```python Portkey Python
+from portkey_ai import Portkey
-```py
config = {
- "strategy": { "mode": "loadbalance" },
- "targets": [
- {
- "provider": "openai",
- "api_key": "xxx",
- "weight": 1,
- "override_params": { "model": "gpt-3.5-turbo" }
- },
- {
- "provider": "mistral-ai",
- "custom_host": "http://MODEL_URL/v1/",
- "weight": 1,
- "override_params": { "model": "mixtral-8x22b" }
- }
- ]
+ "strategy": {"mode": "fallback"},
+ "targets": [
+ {"override_params": {"model": "@openai-provider/gpt-4o"}},
+ {"override_params": {"model": "@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514"}}
+ ]
}
+portkey = Portkey(api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY", config=config)
+
+# Automatically falls back to Anthropic if OpenAI fails
+response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
+ messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]
+)
+```
+
+```javascript Portkey Node.js
+import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';
+
+const config = {
+ strategy: { mode: "fallback" },
+ targets: [
+ { override_params: { model: "@openai-provider/gpt-4o" } },
+ { override_params: { model: "@anthropic-provider/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514" } }
+ ]
+};
+
+const portkey = new Portkey({ apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY", config });
+
+// Automatically falls back to Anthropic if OpenAI fails
+const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
+ messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello" }]
+});
+```
+

+ api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
+ base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
+ default_headers={"x-portkey-config": "pp-config-xxx"}
+)
+
+# Automatically falls back to Anthropic if OpenAI fails
+response = client.chat.completions.create(
+ model="gpt-4o",
+ messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]
+)
+```
+
+```javascript OpenAI Node.js
+import OpenAI from 'openai';
+
+// Use a saved config ID from Portkey dashboard
+const client = new OpenAI({

+ baseURL: "https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
+ defaultHeaders: { "x-portkey-config": "pp-config-xxx" }
+});
+
+// Automatically falls back to Anthropic if OpenAI fails
+const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
+ model: "gpt-4o",
+ messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello" }]
+});
+```
+
+```sh cURL

+ -H "x-portkey-config: pp-config-xxx" \
+ -d '{"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]}'
+```
+
+
+Configs work with all three API formats -- Chat Completions, Responses, and Messages.
+
+For more details, see [Configs](/product/ai-gateway/configs) and [Conditional Routing](/product/ai-gateway/conditional-routing).
+
+## Local and Private Models
+
+Route to local or private models with `custom_host`. The model must be compatible with a supported provider format.
+
+
+```python Portkey Python
from portkey_ai import Portkey
portkey = Portkey(
api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
- config=config
+ provider="mistral-ai",
+ custom_host="http://MODEL_URL/v1/"
+)
+
+response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
+ model="mixtral-8x22b",
+ messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]
)
```
+```javascript Portkey Node.js
+import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';
+const portkey = new Portkey({
+ apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
+ provider: "mistral-ai",
+ customHost: "http://MODEL_URL/v1/"
+});

-Portkey's Universal API supports a comprehensive range of endpoints across all major AI capabilities. Each endpoint follows the OpenAI specification while working seamlessly with 15+ providers.
+
+Include the version identifier (e.g., `/v1`) in the `custom_host` URL. Portkey appends the endpoint path (`/chat/completions`, `/responses`, etc.) automatically. For Ollama, see the [Ollama integration](/integrations/llms/ollama).
+
-
-Not all providers support every endpoint. Check our [provider compatibility matrix](/api-reference/inference-api/supported-providers) to see which endpoints are available for each provider.
