Chutes-API

A simple Python client example for interacting with the Chutes AI API.

Description

This project demonstrates how to make API requests to the Chutes AI service to generate text completions using large language models (LLMs) like DeepSeek V3. Use this as a starting point for integrating Chutes AI capabilities into your Python applications.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.6+
• requests library
• A Chutes AI API token

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/Chutes-API.git
   cd Chutes-API

2. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install requests

3. Set up your API token as an environment variable:

   export CHUTES_API_TOKEN=cpk_...

Usage

The example script rest.py demonstrates how to make a basic API request:

import requests
import os

API_TOKEN = os.getenv("CHUTES_API_TOKEN")
API_URL = "https://llm.chutes.ai/v1/chat/completions"

# Make sure your API token is set
if not API_TOKEN:
    print("Error: CHUTES_API_TOKEN environment variable not set.")
else:
    # Sample request payload
    payload = {
        "model": "deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3-Base",
        "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "What is the capital of France?"}],
        "max_tokens": 32
    }
    headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {API_TOKEN}"}

    try:
        response = requests.post(API_URL, headers=headers, json=payload, timeout=15)
        response.raise_for_status()
        print(response.json()["choices"][0]["message"]["content"])
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"An error occurred: {e}")

Run the example:

python rest.py

Customization

You can customize your API requests by modifying the payload:

• Change the model to use different AI models available through Chutes AI
• Update the messages array with different prompts
• Adjust parameters like max_tokens, temperature, etc.
