Python SDK Example:

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.us-east-1.langdb.ai/projects/<your_project_id>",
    api_key="<your_api_key>"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="sonar",
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "Hello, how are you?"}
    ]
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

TypeScript SDK Example:

const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
    model: "sonar",
    messages: [
        { role: "user", content: "Hello, how are you?" }
    ]
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
