Python setup snapshot
Start with the smallest possible chat completion, then move the key to your server-side secret manager before production.
from openai import OpenAI
import os
client = OpenAI(
api_key=os.environ["OPENPIPE_API_KEY"],
base_url="https://api.openpipe.ai/api/v1",
)
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="openpipe:your-model-id",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Classify this support ticket."}],
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)cURL smoke test
Use this to verify endpoint, auth header, model name, response shape, and quota before adding SDK abstractions.

}'Free API and pricing notes
Free developer workspace / trial usage may be available; confirm current workspace quota and billing state
OpenPipe targets teams reducing OpenAI spend: collect prompt/response logs, then train or route to cheaper models. Free developer usage is useful for validation, not for production before privacy, logging, and billing checks.
Access and production risk
Relay or proxy may be needed
Mainland China access is unconfirmed. Because OpenPipe handles logs and training data, China-facing teams should run network smoke tests, data compliance review, privacy redaction, and fallback routing.
Decision checklist
Check OpenPipe free credits and rate limits.
Compare same-category providers and Mainland China access needs.
Pick the provider with the clearest no-card/free API path for testing.
OpenPipe production validation table
Use this table before sending real users, scheduled agents, or paid traffic to OpenPipe. The goal is to validate source freshness, quota behavior, regional access, and fallback needs instead of trusting a stale free-credit claim.
