Welcome to Hicap. Our guided onboarding will walk you through everything you need to start leveraging your network and making the most of your resources.

Install the OpenAI SDK and Run an API Call

Javascript
Python
Curl

To use the Hicap API in server-side JavaScript environments like Node.js, Deno, or Bun, you can use the official OpenAI SDK for TypeScript and JavaScript. Get started by installing the SDK using npm or your preferred package manager:

Install the OpenAI SDK with npm

npm install openai

With the OpenAI SDK installed, create a file called example.mjs and copy the example code into it:

example.mjs

import OpenAI from "openai";

const apiKey = "YOUR-API-KEY";

const client = new OpenAI({
  baseURL: "https://api.hicap.ai/v2/openai",
  apiKey: apiKey,
  defaultHeaders: { "api-key": apiKey },
});

const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "gpt-5",
  messages: [{
    role: "user",
    content: "Hello World",
    name: "developer"
  }],
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);

Execute the code with node example.mjs (or the equivalent command for Deno or Bun). In a few moments, you should see the output of your API request.

To use the Hicap API in Python, you can use the official OpenAI SDK for Python. Get started by installing the SDK using pip:

Install the OpenAI SDK with pip

pip install openai

With the OpenAI SDK installed, create a file called example.py and copy the example code into it:

example.py

from openai import OpenAI

api_key = "YOUR-API-KEY"

client = OpenAI(
  base_url="https://api.hicap.ai/v2/openai",
  api_key=api_key,
  default_headers={ "api-key": api_key },
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
  model="gpt-5",
  messages=[{
    "role": "user",
    "content": "Hello World",
    "name": "developer"
  }],
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

Execute the code with python example.py. In a few moments, you should see the output of your API request.

To use the Hicap API using curl just use the follow code in your terminal.

example

curl --request POST \
--url https://api.hicap.ai/v2/openai/chat/completions \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'api-key: YOUR-API-KEY' \
--data '{
  "model": "gpt-5",
  "messages": [
    {
      "content": "Hello World",
      "role": "user",
      "name": "developer"
    }
  ]
}'

Press enter in your terminal. In a few moments, you should see the output of your API request.
