Chatbot API Quickstart Guide

Base URL & Authentication

Replace the standard OpenAI base URL with https://api.chatbotapis.com/v1 to route requests to our uncensored LLM. You authenticate using a standard API key passed in the Authorization header. Your key is generated immediately after signup on the Get API Key page and is tied to one account. You can regenerate the key at any time, which revokes the previous one instantly. There is no need for a credit card to start, and the trial credit lasts for 7 days.

Basic Completion Request

Send a standard chat/completions request to get text output. The model ID is always uncensored. This API supports text input and text output with a 100,000 token context window. Use this endpoint for direct LLM interactions without embeddings or image generation.

Copycurl https://api.chatbotapis.com/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "uncensored",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Write a blunt product review of a cheap VPN."}]
  }'

The response includes the generated text in the content field. If your key is invalid, you get a 401 error. If you have no prepaid credit, you get a 402 error.

Python SDK Quickstart

Install the official OpenAI Python library and point it to our base URL. This allows you to use the same SDK you already know for OpenAI, but access our uncensored model directly. Set the api_key and base_url before making requests.

Copyfrom openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(base_url="https://api.chatbotapis.com/v1", api_key="YOUR_KEY")

resp = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="uncensored",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Summarise this thread without softening it."}],
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)

This setup works for both simple completions and complex tool calling. The SDK handles the JSON formatting automatically. Remember that prompts are not used for training your account data.

Node.js SDK Integration

For JavaScript developers, the Node.js OpenAI SDK works identically. Initialize the client with your key and the specific base URL for ChatBotApis. This is useful for building backend services or serverless functions that need raw LLM output.

Copyimport OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({ baseURL: "https://api.chatbotapis.com/v1", apiKey: process.env.API_KEY });

const resp = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "uncensored",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Draft a villain monologue for my game." }],
});
console.log(resp.choices[0].message.content);

Ensure you handle errors properly. A 429 status code means you have hit the rate limit of 300 requests per minute. A 400 error usually indicates a malformed request body or exceeding the 8 MB limit.

Streaming Responses via SSE

Use Server-Sent Events (SSE) for low-latency text generation. Set stream: true in your request. The API returns chunks of text as they are generated, allowing your application to display tokens in real-time. This reduces perceived latency significantly compared to waiting for the full response.

Copystream = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="uncensored",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Tell the story in second person."}],
    stream=True,
)
for chunk in stream:
    if chunk.choices and chunk.choices[0].delta.content:
        print(chunk.choices[0].delta.content, end="", flush=True)

Stream mode works with both the Python and Node SDKs. It is ideal for chat interfaces where users expect instant feedback. The context window still applies to the total prompt plus completion tokens.

Rate Limits, Errors & Context

Our API enforces strict limits to ensure stability. You are allowed 300 requests per minute per key. The maximum request body size is 8 MB. If you exceed the limit, you receive a 429 error. The context window is 100,000 tokens, counting both input and output. This model is uncensored for lawful adult use but blocks sexual content involving minors. There are no SLA guarantees or certifications, but the pricing is transparent and prepaid credit never expires.
