Getting Started in 5 Minutes

This tutorial shows you how to call Gemini, Claude, GPT-4o, and DeepSeek through a single RBAOS API endpoint. By the end, you will have working code for all four models without managing four separate provider integrations.

Prerequisites

  • An RBAOS account (sign up at rbaos.com)
  • Your RBAOS API key from the dashboard
  • Node.js 18+ or Python 3.9+ (examples below cover both)

Step 1: Get Your API Key

After signing up, go to your RBAOS dashboard and generate an API key from the API Keys section. Store it as an environment variable:

# Add to your .env file
RBAOS_API_KEY=rbaos_your_api_key_here

Step 2: Making Your First Multi-Model Calls

Using Fetch (JavaScript)

const RBAOS_BASE = 'https://api.rbaos.com/v1';
const headers = {
  'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.RBAOS_API_KEY}`,
  'Content-Type': 'application/json'
};

async function callModel(model, userMessage) {
  const response = await fetch(`${RBAOS_BASE}/chat/completions`, {
    method: 'POST',
    headers,
    body: JSON.stringify({
      model,
      messages: [{ role: 'user', content: userMessage }],
      max_tokens: 500
    })
  });

  const data = await response.json();
  return data.choices[0].message.content;
}

// Call all four models with the same interface
const prompt = 'Explain the concept of recursion in two sentences.';

const results = await Promise.all([
  callModel('gemini-2.0-pro', prompt),
  callModel('claude-sonnet-4', prompt),
  callModel('gpt-4o', prompt),
  callModel('deepseek-r2', prompt)
]);

console.log('Gemini:', results[0]);
console.log('Claude:', results[1]);
console.log('GPT-4o:', results[2]);
console.log('DeepSeek:', results[3]);

Using Python

import os
import httpx
import asyncio

RBAOS_BASE = 'https://api.rbaos.com/v1'
headers = {
    'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["RBAOS_API_KEY"]}',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}

async def call_model(client, model: str, message: str) -> str:
    response = await client.post(
        f'{RBAOS_BASE}/chat/completions',
        headers=headers,
        json={
            'model': model,
            'messages': [{'role': 'user', 'content': message}],
            'max_tokens': 500
        }
    )
    data = response.json()
    return data['choices'][0]['message']['content']

async def main():
    prompt = 'Explain recursion in two sentences.'
    models = ['gemini-2.0-pro', 'claude-sonnet-4', 'gpt-4o', 'deepseek-r2']

    async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
        tasks = [call_model(client, model, prompt) for model in models]
        results = await asyncio.gather(*tasks)

    for model, result in zip(models, results):
        print(f'{model}: {result}\n')

asyncio.run(main())

Step 3: Using the OpenAI SDK (No Code Changes)

If you are already using the OpenAI Python or Node.js SDK, you can point it at RBAOS with two line changes:

import OpenAI from 'openai';

// Before: pointed at OpenAI
// const client = new OpenAI({ apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY });

// After: pointed at RBAOS — now access every provider
const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.RBAOS_API_KEY,
  baseURL: 'https://api.rbaos.com/v1'
});

// Same SDK code, now routes to any provider
const claudeResponse = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'claude-opus-4',
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello' }]
});

const geminiResponse = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'gemini-2.0-ultra',
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello' }]
});

Step 4: Add Automatic Routing

Once you have the basics working, add automatic routing so you do not need to specify the model manually:

// Let RBAOS pick the best model based on your routing config
const response = await fetch(`${RBAOS_BASE}/chat/completions`, {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    ...headers,
    'X-Task-Type': 'summarization',    // routing hint
    'X-Max-Cost-USD': '0.01'           // cost ceiling
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    model: 'auto',  // gateway selects the model
    messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Summarize: ' + longDocument }]
  })
});

Step 5: Handle Errors Correctly

async function callWithErrorHandling(model, messages) {
  try {
    const response = await fetch(`${RBAOS_BASE}/chat/completions`, {
      method: 'POST',
      headers,
      body: JSON.stringify({ model, messages })
    });

    if (!response.ok) {
      const error = await response.json();
      // RBAOS returns normalized error codes regardless of which provider failed
      console.error('API error:', error.error.code, error.error.message);
      throw new Error(error.error.message);
    }

    return await response.json();
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Request failed:', error.message);
    throw error;
  }
}

For the complete API reference including all supported models, parameters, and response formats, see the RBAOS product documentation. For routing configuration beyond these basics, how to route AI requests automatically covers the full setup. API key and tier details are on the pricing page.

Frequently asked questions

No. RBAOS manages the provider credentials centrally. You sign up for RBAOS, get one API key, and access all supported providers through it.

Yes. RBAOS exposes a standard HTTP API. Any language that can make HTTP requests works — Python, JavaScript, Ruby, Go, PHP, Rust, or any other.

The model responses are the same — RBAOS passes your request to the provider and returns the response. There is no modification of model output. Request format normalization happens transparently.
