Use Claude through an OpenAI-compatible API

Connect a listed Claude model to your existing OpenAI SDK or compatible coding tool. ExosAI provides one endpoint and API key, with model details and usage in your dashboard.

Choose a Claude model

Open the live model catalog and search for Claude. Copy the exact model ID and check input, output and cache prices, context size and supported features. Listed versions and availability can change.

Call Claude with Python

Replace MODEL_ID_FROM_THE_CATALOG with the Claude ID you selected. Use the OpenAI chat-completions format at https://api.exosai.tech/v1.

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(base_url="https://api.exosai.tech/v1", api_key="YOUR_EXOSAI_KEY")
reply = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="MODEL_ID_FROM_THE_CATALOG",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
)
print(reply.choices[0].message.content)

Streaming, image input and tools

Set stream: true for streaming on models that support it. Check the Claude entry before sending images or function definitions. For tool calls, execute the requested function in your app and send its result back; the API does not execute your local tools.

This guide uses the OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Compatibility with the native Anthropic API is a separate capability and must be checked in the catalog.

Use Claude in a coding tool

Follow the Cursor, Cline and Continue setup guide with your selected Claude model ID. Test the same prompt in the AI playground and review token usage before integrating it into your app.
