Set up curl against idapt's compatible APIs with the steps below. This article and the AI Gateway quickstarts lander render the same shared steps, so they never drift.
curl with idapt
Raw HTTP against the OpenAI, Anthropic, and OpenRouter compatible surfaces.
- 1
Point it at idapt
bashcurl https://idapt.app/api/openai/v1/chat/completions \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $IDAPT_API_KEY" \ -d '{"model": "openai/gpt-5.6-luna", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Three facts about ravens."}]}' - 2
Streaming
bashcurl https://idapt.app/api/anthropic/v1/messages \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "x-api-key: $IDAPT_API_KEY" \ -H "anthropic-version: 2023-06-01" \ -d '{"model": "anthropic/claude-haiku-4.5", "max_tokens": 256, "stream": true, "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Stream a haiku."}]}'The Anthropic dialect wants x-api-key and anthropic-version headers.
