Setup

Get your API key from the Orchid dashboard under Settings → API Keys.
orchid01 is OpenAI-compatible. If you’ve used the OpenAI SDK before, you already know how to use this API — just change the base URL and API key.

​
Your first call

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://llm.orchid.ac/v1",
    api_key="orchid-your-key-here",
)

r = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="orchid01",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Summarise this 10-K filing..."}],
)
print(r.choices[0].message.content)

​
Streaming

stream = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="orchid01",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Analyse this credit agreement..."}],
    stream=True,
)
for chunk in stream:
    piece = chunk.choices[0].delta.content or ""
    if piece:
        print(piece, end="", flush=True)
