How to use Laravel with an OpenAI-compatible endpoint (PHP)

Laravel integration guide for PHP. Connect to an OpenAI-compatible endpoint with a base URL swap and keep the same request schema.

Updated 2026-01-06

Laravel works with OpenAI-compatible APIs by switching the base URL and API key.

This guide shows a PHP example plus a test vector you can run to validate responses.

<?php
$payload = [
  "model" => "abliterated-model",
  "messages" => [
    ["role" => "user", "content" => "Respond with: Laravel PHP ready."]
  ],
  "temperature" => 0.2
];

$ch = curl_init("https://api.abliteration.ai/v1/chat/completions");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, [
  "Authorization: Bearer " . getenv("ABLIT_KEY"),
  "Content-Type: application/json"
]);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($payload));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

echo $response;
?>

Configure Laravel

Follow this checklist to point your integration at the OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

OpenAI-compatible payload

Use this request body as a known-good payload before customizing parameters.

{
  "model": "abliterated-model",
  "messages": [
    { "role": "user", "content": "Respond with: Laravel PHP ready." }
  ],
  "temperature": 0.2
}

Streaming and tool calling readiness

If you stream responses or send tool definitions, keep the OpenAI-compatible schema and validate against the OpenAPI spec.
