Migrating from OpenAI

If you’re already using the OpenAI API, switching to Gonka Broker takes two changes: the base URL and the API key.

Python

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="gk-prx-your-managed-key",                # ← your Gonka key
    base_url="https://proxy.gonkabroker.com/v1",       # ← Gonka endpoint
)

# Everything else stays exactly the same
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="Qwen/Qwen3-235B-A22B-Instruct-2507-FP8",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
)

JavaScript / TypeScript

import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: "gk-prx-your-managed-key",                // ← your Gonka key
  baseURL: "https://proxy.gonkabroker.com/v1",       // ← Gonka endpoint
});

// Everything else stays exactly the same
const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "Qwen/Qwen3-235B-A22B-Instruct-2507-FP8",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello!" }],
});

Environment variables

Many projects read the API key and base URL from environment variables. A clean way to migrate:

.env

OPENAI_API_KEY=gk-prx-your-managed-key
OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://proxy.gonkabroker.com/v1

If your OpenAI client reads these variables automatically (the official Python and JS SDKs do), no code changes are needed at all.

Choosing a model

Replace your OpenAI model name with a Gonka-supported model. See Supported Models for the full list.

Common mappings:

Instead of	Try
gpt-4o	Qwen/Qwen3-235B-A22B-Instruct-2507-FP8
gpt-3.5-turbo	Check Supported Models for smaller models

What about streaming, function calling, etc.?

Managed keys support the same features as the OpenAI Chat Completions API, including streaming. See API Compatibility for details on supported parameters.
