quickstart

openai compatible
main.py
from openai import OpenAI client = OpenAI(    api_key="YOUR_REQUESTY_API_KEY",    base_url="https://router.requesty.ai/v1",) response = client.chat.completions.create(    model="alibaba/qwen3-max",    messages=[        {"role": "user", "content": "Explain quantum computing in one paragraph."},    ],) print(response.choices[0].message.content)

Change the base url, use your Requesty key, set the model to any id in the call pane. Existing OpenAI SDK code needs no other edit, and the same key reaches every other model in the catalog, so switching later is a one-parameter change. Browse all models
