## Seamless Integration

If you already use the OpenAI SDK, just point your API calls to OpenResponses. Minimal code changes—maximum productivity.

```python theme={null}
from openai import OpenAI
import os

openai_client = OpenAI(
    base_url="http://localhost:6644/v1",
    api_key=os.getenv("XAI_API_KEY")
)

response = openai_client.responses.create(
    model="xai@grok-4-0709",
    input="Tell me a joke"
)
```

### Using with OpenAI Agent SDK

```python theme={null}
from openai import AsyncOpenAI
from openai.agents import Agent, OpenAIResponsesModel
import os

client = AsyncOpenAI(
    base_url="http://localhost:6644/v1",
    api_key=os.getenv("XAI_API_KEY")
)

agent = Agent(
    name="Assistant",
    instructions="You are a humorous poet who can write funny poems of 4 lines.",
    model=OpenAIResponsesModel(model="xai@grok-4-0709", openai_client=client)
)
```

### Using with cURL

```bash theme={null}
curl --location 'http://localhost:6644/v1/responses' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer XAI_API_KEY' \
--data '{
    "model": "xai@grok-4-0709",
    "stream": false,
    "input": [
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "Tell me a joke"
        }
