SDK Migration

Switch OpenAI Node SDK base URL

The OpenAI Node SDK supports custom endpoints via baseURL. Switch to abliteration.ai without rewriting your application.

Your existing async/await patterns, streaming handlers, and TypeScript types work unchanged.

Definition of Switch OpenAI Node SDK base URL

Switching the OpenAI Node SDK base URL means changing one parameter to route requests through an alternative OpenAI-compatible provider.

Why Switch OpenAI Node SDK base URL matters

Keep all existing OpenAI Node SDK code unchanged.
Full TypeScript type compatibility maintained.
Test alternative providers without refactoring your codebase.
Works with Express, Next.js, and any Node.js environment.

How it works

Install or update the <code>openai</code> npm package.
Set <code>baseURL: "https://api.abliteration.ai/v1"</code> in the client constructor.
Replace your OpenAI key with your abliteration.ai API key.
Use a supported model id like <code>abliterated-model</code>.

Node SDK base URL switch

import OpenAI from "openai";

// Before: OpenAI default
// const client = new OpenAI({ apiKey: "sk-..." });

// After: abliteration.ai
const client = new OpenAI({
  baseURL: "https://api.abliteration.ai/v1",
  apiKey: process.env.ABLIT_KEY,
});

const completion = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "abliterated-model",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Summarize this document." }],
});

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Do TypeScript types still work?

Yes. The response types are identical to OpenAI, so your existing type annotations work unchanged.
