OpenAI Python SDK with Redline

Redline speaks the OpenAI chat-completions dialect, so the official openai Python client works with a base URL change and nothing else.

base_url and api_key

Set base_url to https://redline-gateway.pages.dev/v1 (the /v1 is part of it) and api_key to your key. The client also reads OPENAI_BASE_URL and OPENAI_API_KEY from the environment.

# pip install openai
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://redline-gateway.pages.dev/v1",
    api_key="rl-...",
)

resp = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="deepseek/deepseek-chat-v3.1",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)
