Quick Start Guide

Get up and running with Rodex AI in minutes

Choose Your Model

Select from our available models or use auto-select

All models require the rodex- prefix. For automatic model selection based on speed, use rodex.

Popular Models:

rodex - Auto-select fastest model
rodex-llama-3.3-70b-versatile - Groq's fastest Llama model
rodex-grok-beta - XAI's Grok model
rodex-gemini-2.0-flash-exp - Google's latest Gemini

Set Up Authentication

Simple token-based authentication

All requests require the authorization header with the token Rodex:

Authorization: Bearer Rodex

When using the OpenAI SDK, simply set api_key="Rodex" and it will automatically add the Bearer token.

Make Your First Request

Start generating AI responses

Using cURL:

curl https://api-rodex-cli.vercel.app/api/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer Rodex" \
  -d '{
    "model": "rodex",
    "messages": [
      {"role": "user", "content": "Hello, Rodex!"}
    ]
  }'

Using Python:

import openai

client = openai.OpenAI(
    api_key="Rodex",
    base_url="https://api-rodex-cli.vercel.app/api/v1"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="rodex",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello, Rodex!"}]
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

Using Node.js:

import OpenAI from 'openai';

const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: 'Rodex',
  baseURL: 'https://api-rodex-cli.vercel.app/api/v1'
});

const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'rodex',
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello, Rodex!' }]
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);

Add Custom Instructions (Optional)

Personalize AI responses for your use case

Enhance your requests with custom instructions to guide the AI's behavior:

{
  "model": "rodex",
  "messages": [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Build a REST API"}
  ],
  "custom_instructions": "Use TypeScript, Express, and focus on type safety"
}
