The gateway

Developer Since 0.4.0

The gateway exposes Ajutant’s models through an OpenAI-compatible API. If your code already talks to OpenAI, it can talk to Ajutant with two changes: the base URL and the API key.

You reuse the tools you already have. Existing OpenAI SDKs, libraries, and IDE integrations work by pointing them at Ajutant’s base URL, so there’s little to learn and nothing bespoke to maintain.

Unlike calling a public API directly, every request through the gateway is:

  • Scoped to approved models your administrators allow for your team.
  • Metered and rate-limited against your team’s quotas.
  • Recorded for cost reporting and oversight.

So developers get a familiar interface, and the organisation keeps control of models, spend, and data.

  1. Get an API key and the base URL.
  2. Point your OpenAI client at them.
  3. Call the endpoints you need.
