Code examples

import os
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key=os.environ["XANTLY_API_KEY"],
    base_url="https://api.xantly.com/v1",
)

response = client.images.generate(
    model="dall-e-3",
    prompt="A cat wearing a space helmet, oil painting",
    size="1024x1024",
    quality="standard",
    n=1,
)
print(response.data[0].url)

import OpenAI from "openai";

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

const response = await client.images.generate({
  model: "dall-e-3",
  prompt: "A cat wearing a space helmet, oil painting",
  size: "1024x1024",
  quality: "standard",
  n: 1,

BYOK support

The images endpoint automatically resolves your organization's BYOK OpenAI key. If no BYOK key is configured, the platform key is used as a fallback.

Errors

HTTP	`error.type`	Typical trigger
`400`	`invalid_request_error`	Missing prompt, invalid size, unsupported parameters.
`401`	`authentication_error`	Missing or invalid Bearer token.
`500`	`provider_error`	No OpenAI API key configured, or upstream error.
