Quickstart

Blade's gateway is OpenAI-compatible. If your code already speaks OpenAI, you're three lines from a Blade call.

API endpoint: https://api.bladelabs.io/v1.

1. 01

   Sign up

   Create an account with email and password. Go to sign up →

2. 02

   Create an API key

   In your dashboard, click create key. The full key is shown once — store it now, we can't show it again. Keys work immediately against https://api.bladelabs.io/v1 — no waiting, no approval step.

3. 03

   Make your first call

   curlcopy

   curl https://api.bladelabs.io/v1/chat/completions \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $BLADE_API_KEY" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{
       "model": "bladelabs/functiongemma-270m-router",
       "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "hello"}]
     }'

from openai import OpenAI
import os

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.bladelabs.io/v1",

)

resp = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="bladelabs/functiongemma-270m-router",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "hello"}],
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)
