Send a request

Quickstart

Examples use the selected endpoint’s public parameter definitions. Replace the API key and example media, then send the request from your server.

SDKs & integrations
POSThttps://api.spicyapi.ai/v1/chat/completions

API authentication

Keep the API key in the server environment variable SPICY_API_KEY. Use Bearer authentication and Content-Type: application/json for JSON requests.

Authorization: Bearer $SPICY_API_KEY
curl --fail-with-body -sN https://api.spicyapi.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SPICY_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -d '{
  "model": "deepseek/v4-pro/chat",
  "messages": [
    {
      "role": "user",
      "content": "Summarise the following release notes into three bullet points."
    }
  ],
  "stream": true
}' \
  | jq --unbuffered -Rrj 'select(startswith("data: ")) | .[6:] | select(. != "[DONE]") | fromjson | if .error then "\n[error] \(.error.message)\n" else (.choices[0].delta.content? // empty) end'

Generated from this model’s input schema — the same one the API validates every request against.

Keep one Idempotency-Key for each logical request. After a network interruption, do not automatically resend with a new key; retain request_id to investigate the accepted request. Idempotency does not replay an earlier chat stream.

Input parameters

Place the model parameters directly in the JSON request body alongside model. This endpoint does not use an input wrapper.

messagesarray<object>Required

At most 256 ordered turns, text content only. Send back reasoning_content on an assistant turn to keep a tool conversation coherent.

Default
Not specified
Constraints
minItems:1
maxItems:256
response_formatobjectOptional

Request a JSON object when the answer is consumed by code.

Default
Not specified
tool_choicestring | objectOptional

auto, none, required, or an object naming the function to call.

Default
Not specified
parallel_tool_callsbooleanOptional

true or false, default true: the model may request several tool calls in one turn. Set false to get at most one call per turn, for loops where each call depends on the previous result. No effect on price.

Default
true
toolsarray<object>Optional

Up to 128 function definitions per request.

Default
Not specified
Constraints
maxItems:128
max_tokensintegerOptional

Caps the reply at 384,000. The default of 32,768 will truncate a migration plan without an error. Reasoning tokens are billed as output too, so leave headroom above the visible answer you expect.

Default
32768
Constraints
minimum:1
maximum:384000
stopstring | arrayOptional

Up to 4 sequences, as a string or an array. The reply ends as soon as the model writes one of them, and the matched text itself is left out. No default. It does not change the rate; a reply cut short is billed only for the tokens it produced.

Default
Not specified
Constraints
minLength:1
minItems:1
maxItems:4
reasoning_effortstringOptional

none, low or high, high by default. none skips the reasoning pass entirely, which is the only way to keep reasoning tokens off your bill — they are charged as output. Use low for volume passes and high for answers that must not be wrong.

Default
"high"
Allowed values
"none""low""high"

Read the result

With stream set to false, the request returns the completed chat response directly. Read choices[].message; no task polling is needed. Set stream to true when your client supports Server-Sent Events.

}

The response example is illustrative. usage reports token counts; token counts and charges depend on your actual request.
