Authentication

The LLM relay uses Bearer tokens for authentication. Your API key acts as the Bearer token, which must be included in the Authorization header when making requests.

A Bearer token is a secure, stateless method of verifying API requests.

Direct API requests

Set the Authorization header to Bearer <1RPC_AI_API_KEY> if you're making direct API calls.

Python

import openai
openai.api_base = "https://1rpc.ai/v1"
openai.api_key = "<1RPC_AI_API_KEY>"

TypeScript (Bearer token)

fetch('https://1rpc.ai/v1/chat/completions', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    Authorization: 'Bearer <1RPC_AI_API_KEY>',

Shell

curl https://1rpc.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ONERPC_AI_API_KEY" \

OpenAI TypeScript SDK

Set the api_base to https://1rpc.ai/v1 and pass your API key as theapiKey .

OpenAI SDK

import OpenAI from 'openai';
const openai = new OpenAI({
  baseURL: 'https://1rpc.ai/v1',
  apiKey: '<1RPC_AI_API_KEY>',
