Call it from any OpenAI SDK
Use the official SDK with a custom base URL. The example below is complete — swap the model id to hit a different model in the catalog.

-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"model": "anthropic/claude-4.5-sonnet",

}'Standardized parameters
Parameters behave the same on every backend. Values that cannot be honored are either mapped to the closest equivalent or safely dropped — never silently corrupted.
| Parameter | Type | Default | Range | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Core | ||||
messagesSame Chat Completions shape for every model. | array | — | — | Supported |
System promptFirst message with role: system. | string | — | — | Supported |
streamSSE chunks are normalized to chat.completion.chunk. | boolean | false | — | Supported |
| Sampling | ||||
temperature | number | 0.7 | 0 – 2 | Supported |
top_p | number | 1 | 0 – 1 | Supported |
top_kNormalized to the closest backend equivalent. | integer | — | 0 – 100 | Supported |
frequency_penalty | number | 0 | -2 – 2 | Supported |
presence_penalty | number | 0 | -2 – 2 | Supported |
| Limits | ||||
max_tokensAliases like max_completion_tokens are collapsed into this field. | integer | model max | 1 – model max | Supported |
stopstop_sequences and stop_token_ids are translated to this field. | string | string[] | — | — | Supported |
seedDeterministic output where the backend supports it. | integer | random | — | Supported |
| Tools & format | ||||
response_formatjson_object and json_schema are supported. | object | text | — | Supported |
toolsThree upstream tool-call formats become one OpenAI shape. | array | — | — | Supported |
tool_choice | string | object | auto | — | Supported |

Using Claude 4.5 Sonnet on APIRaven
Which provider actually runs my request?+
APIRaven routes each request across a pool of managed inference backends. The model id, request shape and response are identical no matter which backend serves it — you never manage provider accounts, keys or regions.
Is the API OpenAI-compatible?+
Yes. Point any OpenAI SDK at https://api.apiraven.com/v1 with your APIRaven key. Chat, vision, images, embeddings and audio all follow the OpenAI request and response shapes.
What happens when a backend degrades?+
Requests are retried and failed over automatically before the first token is returned. If a model is temporarily unavailable, the API returns one stable error envelope instead of a provider-specific failure.
How is usage billed?+
Per token for text, per image for generation and per minute for transcription — deducted from your APIRaven balance. Every response includes normalized usage so you can meter cost per request.
