Quickstart
Your first call in 30 seconds
Make sure you have an API key from the dashboard, then pick a language. The QSP-specific bits are just base_url and the key — everything else is standard OpenAI SDK.
1. Get an API key
Sign in at quicksilverpro.io/dashboard, then copy the key from the "Connect your agent" section.
Set it as the QSP_KEY environment variable so the snippets below work as-is:
shell
export QSP_KEY="sk-..."2. Make the call
Python
python
import os
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
base_url="https://api.quicksilverpro.io/v1",
api_key=os.environ["QSP_KEY"],
)
resp = client.chat.completions.create(
model="deepseek-v4-flash",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
reasoning={"enabled": False},
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)Node.js / TypeScript
typescript
import OpenAI from "openai";
const client = new OpenAI({
baseURL: "https://api.quicksilverpro.io/v1",
apiKey: process.env.QSP_KEY,
});
const resp = await client.chat.completions.create({
model: "deepseek-v4-flash",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello!" }],
reasoning: { enabled: false },
});
console.log(resp.choices[0].message.content);Swift

messages: [.user(.init(content: .string("Hello!")))],
model: "deepseek-v4-flash"
)
let resp = try await openAI.chats(query: query)
print(resp.choices.first?.message.content?.string ?? "")curl
shell
curl https://api.quicksilverpro.io/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $QSP_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"model": "deepseek-v4-flash",
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
"reasoning": {"enabled": false}
}'3. What you get back
Standard OpenAI chat-completions JSON. choices[0].message.content is the model's reply. usage reports prompt and completion tokens plus a synthetic cost field computed from the public per-million rate.
