OpenAI compatibility

Quant AI exposes an OpenAI-compatible API at /oai/v1. Point any OpenAI SDK or tool (the official Python/Node SDKs, LangChain, LiteLLM, Cline, OpenRouter-style proxies, Drupal AI, etc.) at this base URL and use your Quant API token as the API key — no adapter required.

Quant returns responses in the exact shapes the OpenAI SDKs expect.

Base URL

https://dashboard.quantcdn.io/oai/v1     # QuantCDN
https://dash.quantgov.cloud/oai/v1       # QuantGov

Configure your client’s base_url (or “API base”) to this value. The SDK appends /chat/completions, /embeddings, and /models automatically.

Authentication

Use a Quant API token (the qc_... value) as the OpenAI api_key. It is sent as a standard Authorization: Bearer <token> header.

The organisation is resolved from the token automatically. If your token is scoped to more than one organisation, select one with the OpenAI-Organization header (mapped to your Quant organisation machine name).

Note

Create an API token in the Quant dashboard under your profile, API Tokens, scoped to your organisation with AI access. The same token and permissions that govern the native Quant AI API apply here.

Supported endpoints

Endpoint	OpenAI method	Notes
POST /oai/v1/chat/completions	Chat completions	Buffered and streaming (stream: true); tool/function calling
POST /oai/v1/embeddings	Embeddings	Single string or array of strings
GET /oai/v1/models	List models	Returns the model ids available to your organisation
GET /oai/v1/models/{model}	Retrieve model

Quick start

Python

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="qc_your_quant_token",
    base_url="https://dashboard.quantcdn.io/oai/v1",
)

resp = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-6",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Write a haiku about CDNs."}],
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)

Node

import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: "qc_your_quant_token",
  baseURL: "https://dashboard.quantcdn.io/oai/v1",
});

const resp = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-6",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Write a haiku about CDNs." }],
});
console.log(resp.choices[0].message.content);

curl

curl https://dashboard.quantcdn.io/oai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer qc_your_quant_token" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-6",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
  }'

Streaming

Set stream: true to receive Server-Sent Events. Each event is a chat.completion.chunk object, and the stream terminates with data: [DONE] — exactly as OpenAI’s SDKs expect.

stream = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-6",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Count to five."}],
    stream=True,
)
for chunk in stream:
    print(chunk.choices[0].delta.content or "", end="")

Pass stream_options={"include_usage": true} to receive a final usage chunk before [DONE].

Tool (function) calling

Standard OpenAI tools are supported, including tool_choice:

resp = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-6",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "What's the weather in Melbourne?"}],
    tools=[{
        "type": "function",
        "function": {
            "name": "get_weather",
            "description": "Get the current weather for a city",
            "parameters": {
                "type": "object",
                "properties": {"city": {"type": "string"}},
                "required": ["city"],
            },
        },
    }],
    tool_choice="auto",
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.tool_calls)

tool_choice accepts "auto", "none", "required", or {"type": "function", "function": {"name": "..."}}. When you force a tool (required or a specific function), the tool call is returned to your client to execute — the OpenAI-standard behaviour.

Models

List the models available to your organisation and pass an id as the model field:

curl https://dashboard.quantcdn.io/oai/v1/models \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer qc_your_quant_token"

Model ids look like anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-6 or amazon.nova-micro-v1:0. Always use an id from this list: the list differs between organisations and platforms. On QuantGov only Australian-resident models are listed, and a request for any other model returns 403 with model_not_available_in_region.

Compatibility notes

The /oai/v1 surface targets the stateless drop-in tier of the OpenAI API. The following are intentional differences:

• Single choice — responses always contain one choice; n > 1 is not supported.
• Ignored parameters — frequency_penalty, presence_penalty, seed, logprobs, and logit_bias are accepted but not applied.
• finish_reason — streaming responses report stop rather than length on max-token truncation (buffered responses report length correctly).
• Not included — image generation, audio, moderations, the Assistants/Responses APIs, and batches. Use the native Quant AI API for agents, sessions, vector database, workflows, and other stateful features.

For everything beyond the drop-in tier — agents, orchestrations, skills, vector search, governance — see the AI API reference.
