Code samples

curl https://onlist.io/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ONLIST_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
       "model": "google/gemini-3.1-flash-lite",
       "messages": [
         {
           "role": "user",
           "content": "Explain quantum entanglement in one paragraph."
         }
       ]
     }'

Replace $ONLIST_API_KEY with the API key from your Keys page.

Authentication

All requests must include an Authorization: Bearer <TOKEN> header. Generate keys from the Keys page; keys can be scoped to specific models, groups, IP ranges, and rate limits.

Enable streaming

Add "stream": true to receive partial responses as server-sent events in real time.

Streaming example

curl https://onlist.io/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ONLIST_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
       "model": "google/gemini-3.1-flash-lite",
       "messages": [
         {
           "role": "user",
           "content": "Write a haiku about recursion."
         }
       ],
       "stream": true
     }'

Supported parameters

NameTypeDescription
include_reasoning
max_tokensintegerMaximum number of tokens to generate in the completion.
reasoning
reasoning_effortstringConstrains effort on reasoning. Supported values: "low", "medium", "high".
response_formatobjectSpecifies the output format. Use {"type": "json_object"} for JSON mode.
seedintegerIf specified, the system will attempt deterministic sampling for reproducible results.
stopstring | arrayUp to 4 sequences where the API will stop generating tokens.
structured_outputs
temperaturenumberSampling temperature between 0 and 2. Higher values make output more random.
tool_choicestring | objectControls which tool is called. "auto", "none", "required", or a specific function.
toolsarrayA list of tools the model may call. Currently supports functions.
top_pnumberNucleus sampling. The model considers tokens with top_p probability mass.

These are the request parameters this model accepts. Parameter semantics follow the OpenAI Chat Completions specification.
