Quickstart

Use any OpenAI-compatible client, SDK, or coding agent with Floodgate.

Create an API key

Sign in to Floodgate, navigate to the Tokens page, and create a new key. Copy it securely, as you will not be able to view it again.

Save the key in your environment

export FLOODGATE_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

$env:FLOODGATE_API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY"

List available models

Query the API to see all models enabled for your account:

curl "https://api.floodgate.dev/v1/models" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FLOODGATE_API_KEY"

Send your first chat completion

curl "https://api.floodgate.dev/v1/chat/completions" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FLOODGATE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gpt-6-sol",
    "messages": [
      {"role": "user", "content": "Explain binary search in two sentences."}
    ]
  }'
