Migrate from OpenAI to 1vy in 5 Minutes
Switch from OpenAI's direct API to 1vy's multi-model gateway without changing your code. One line change, 100+ models unlocked.
Why migrate?
If you're using the OpenAI SDK directly, you're locked into one provider. 1vy gives you access to 100+ models — OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, Qwen, and more — through the same SDK you're already using.
No code migration. One line change.
Step 1: Create a 1vy account
Sign up at 1vy.ai/register. You get $1 free credit — enough for thousands of API calls with smaller models.
Step 2: Generate an API key
Go to Dashboard → API Keys → Create New Key. Copy the key (starts with sk-1vy-).
Step 3: Change one line
Python
```python import openai
client = openai.OpenAI( base_url="https://api.1vy.ai/v1", # ← only change api_key="sk-1vy-your-key-here" # ← your 1vy key )
# Everything else stays the same response = client.chat.completions.create( model="gpt-4o", # or claude-sonnet-4-6, gemini-2.5-pro, etc. messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}] ) ```
Node.js
```javascript import OpenAI from "openai";
const client = new OpenAI({ baseURL: "https://api.1vy.ai/v1", // ← only change apiKey: "sk-1vy-your-key-here", // ← your 1vy key }); ```
cURL
```bash
# Replace api.openai.com with api.1vy.ai curl https://api.1vy.ai/v1/chat/completions \ -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-1vy-your-key-here" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"model": "gpt-4o", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]}' ```
Step 4: Try other models
Now that you're on 1vy, try models from other providers — just change the model parameter:
| Model | Provider | Use case |
|---|---|---|
claude-sonnet-4-6 | Anthropic | Best coding & analysis |
gemini-2.5-pro | Long context + multimodal | |
deepseek-r1 | DeepSeek | Reasoning at low cost |
gpt-4o | OpenAI | General purpose |
qwen3-max | Alibaba | Chinese language tasks |
