curl https://api.computeshare.servequake.com/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ngk_your_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "auto",
    "messages": [
      {"role": "user", "content": "What is the capital of France?"}
    ]
  }'

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="ngk_your_key",
    base_url="https://api.computeshare.servequake.com/v1"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="auto",
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "What is the capital of France?"}
    ]
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)
# → "The capital of France is Paris."

import urllib.request, json

req = urllib.request.Request(
    "https://api.computeshare.servequake.com/v1/chat/completions",
    data=json.dumps({
        "model": "auto",
        "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "What is the capital of France?"}]
    }).encode(),
    headers={
        "Authorization": "Bearer ngk_your_key",
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    }
)
with urllib.request.urlopen(req) as resp:
    data = json.loads(resp.read())
    print(data["choices"][0]["message"]["content"])

import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: "ngk_your_key",
  baseURL: "https://api.computeshare.servequake.com/v1",
});

const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "auto",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "What is the capital of France?" }],
});

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