The Runcrate Models API gives you access to 140+ open-source models through a single endpoint. It's fully **OpenAI-compatible** — use the same SDKs and code you already have, just change the base URL.

## Base URL

```
https://api.runcrate.ai/v1
```

## OpenAI SDK Compatibility

The API works with the official OpenAI Python and JavaScript SDKs:

```python theme={"theme":"github-dark"}
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.runcrate.ai/v1",
    api_key="rc_live_YOUR_API_KEY",
)
```

```javascript theme={"theme":"github-dark"}
import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  baseURL: "https://api.runcrate.ai/v1",
  apiKey: "rc_live_YOUR_API_KEY",
});
```
