Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an API key to use this tool?

No. This tool generates code you can copy and run locally with your own API key. Nothing is sent to any LLM provider from this page. Replace YOUR_API_KEY in the generated code with your actual key.

What's the difference between OpenAI and Anthropic API formats?

OpenAI uses a messages array with role/content pairs sent to /v1/chat/completions. Anthropic uses a separate system parameter and sends messages to /v1/messages with a required max_tokens field. This tool handles these differences automatically.

How much does an LLM API call cost?

Costs vary by model: GPT-4o costs $2.50 per million input tokens, while GPT-4o-mini costs $0.15/M — a 17x difference. Use our cost calculator to estimate monthly spend based on your specific volume and model choice.

Which provider should I choose?

For most use cases: OpenAI (GPT-4o-mini) for cost efficiency, Anthropic (Claude Sonnet) for complex reasoning, DeepSeek for budget-conscious teams (90% cheaper than GPT-4o). See our cheapest LLM guide for detailed comparisons.
