Learn how to use Requesty with the OpenAI SDK
Using Requesty with the OpenAI SDK is as simple as changing a single line of code. By pointing the base_url
to the Requesty router, you can take advantage of all of Requesty’s features without changing the rest of your code.
This simple change unlocks powerful features, such as:
- Fallback Policies
- Load Balancing
- Auto Caching
- Request Metadata
- …and many more.
All of this is available while maintaining the familiar OpenAI SDK interface.
With Requesty, you can access over 250+ models from various providers. To specify a model, you must include the provider prefix, like openai/gpt-4.1-mini
or anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514
. You can find the full list of available models in the Model Library.
Python
To use the OpenAI Python client with Requesty, simply set the base_url
when initializing the client.
Javascript
The same principle applies to the OpenAI Javascript client. Set the baseURL
during initialization.
