API Integration

Integrate AI models running on CLORE.AI into your applications.

Deploy API servers at CLORE.AI Marketplace.

Quick Start

Most AI services on CLORE.AI provide OpenAI-compatible APIs. Replace the base URL and you're ready.

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="http://<your-clore-server>:8000/v1",
    api_key="not-needed"  # Most self-hosted don't require key
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)

---

LLM APIs

vLLM (OpenAI Compatible)

Server setup:

python -m vllm.entrypoints.openai.api_server \
    --model meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct \
    --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

Python client:

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(base_url="http://server:8000/v1", api_key="dummy")

# Chat completion
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct",
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "Write a poem about coding"}
    ],
    temperature=0.7,
    max_tokens=500
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)

# Streaming
stream = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Tell me a story"}],
    stream=True
)
for chunk in stream:
    if chunk.choices[0].delta.content:
        print(chunk.choices[0].delta.content, end="", flush=True)

Node.js client:

import OpenAI from 'openai';

const client = new OpenAI({
    baseURL: 'http://server:8000/v1',
    apiKey: 'dummy'
});

async function chat(message) {
    const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
        model: 'meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct',
        messages: [{ role: 'user', content: message }]
    });
    return response.choices[0].message.content;
}

// Streaming
async function streamChat(message) {
    const stream = await client.chat.completions.create({
        model: 'meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct',
        messages: [{ role: 'user', content: message }],
        stream: true
    });

    for await (const chunk of stream) {
        process.stdout.write(chunk.choices[0]?.delta?.content || '');
    }
}

cURL:

curl http://server:8000/v1/chat/completions \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
        "model": "meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct",
        "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
    }'

Ollama API

Python:

import requests

# Generate
response = requests.post('http://server:11434/api/generate', json={
    'model': 'llama3.2',
    'prompt': 'Why is the sky blue?',
    'stream': False
})
print(response.json()['response'])

# Chat
response = requests.post('http://server:11434/api/chat', json={
    'model': 'llama3.2',
    'messages': [
        {'role': 'user', 'content': 'Hello!'}
    ],
    'stream': False
})
print(response.json()['message']['content'])

# Streaming
response = requests.post('http://server:11434/api/chat', json={
    'model': 'llama3.2',
    'messages': [{'role': 'user', 'content': 'Tell me a story'}],
    'stream': True
}, stream=True)

for line in response.iter_lines():
    if line:
        data = json.loads(line)
        print(data['message']['content'], end='', flush=True)

Ollama also supports OpenAI format:

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(base_url='http://server:11434/v1', api_key='ollama')
# Use same code as vLLM examples

TGI API

Python:

import requests

# Generate
response = requests.post('http://server:8080/generate', json={
    'inputs': 'What is machine learning?',
    'parameters': {
        'max_new_tokens': 200,
        'temperature': 0.7,
        'do_sample': True
    }
})
print(response.json()['generated_text'])

# Streaming
response = requests.post('http://server:8080/generate_stream', json={
    'inputs': 'Explain quantum computing',
    'parameters': {'max_new_tokens': 500}
}, stream=True)

for line in response.iter_lines():
    if line:
        data = json.loads(line.decode().replace('data:', ''))
        print(data.get('token', {}).get('text', ''), end='', flush=True)

Image Generation APIs

Stable Diffusion WebUI API

Enable API: Add --api to launch command.

Python:

import requests
import base64
from PIL import Image
from io import BytesIO

def txt2img(prompt, negative_prompt="", steps=20, width=512, height=512):
    response = requests.post('http://server:7860/sdapi/v1/txt2img', json={
        'prompt': prompt,
        'negative_prompt': negative_prompt,
        'steps': steps,
        'width': width,
        'height': height,
        'sampler_name': 'DPM++ 2M Karras',
        'cfg_scale': 7
    })

    # Decode base64 image
    image_data = base64.b64decode(response.json()['images'][0])
    return Image.open(BytesIO(image_data))

# Generate
image = txt2img(
    prompt="A beautiful sunset over mountains, photorealistic, 8k",
    negative_prompt="blurry, low quality"
)
image.save("output.png")

# img2img
def img2img(prompt, image_path, denoising=0.5):
    with open(image_path, 'rb') as f:
        image_b64 = base64.b64encode(f.read()).decode()

    response = requests.post('http://server:7860/sdapi/v1/img2img', json={
        'prompt': prompt,
        'init_images': [image_b64],
        'denoising_strength': denoising,
        'steps': 30
    })

    image_data = base64.b64decode(response.json()['images'][0])
    return Image.open(BytesIO(image_data))

Node.js:

const axios = require('axios');
const fs = require('fs');

async function txt2img(prompt) {
    const response = await axios.post('http://server:7860/sdapi/v1/txt2img', {
        prompt: prompt,
        steps: 20,
        width: 512,
        height: 512
    });

    const imageBuffer = Buffer.from(response.data.images[0], 'base64');
    fs.writeFileSync('output.png', imageBuffer);
}

ComfyUI API

import websocket
import uuid

SERVER = "server:8188"

def queue_prompt(workflow):
    """Queue a workflow for execution"""
    data = json.dumps({"prompt": workflow}).encode('utf-8')
    req = urllib.request.Request(f"http://{SERVER}/prompt", data=data)

    workflow = json.load(f)

# Modify prompt
workflow["6"]["inputs"]["text"] = "A cat wearing a hat"

# Queue and get result
result = queue_prompt(workflow)
print(f"Queued: {result}")

def on_message(ws, message):
    data = json.loads(message)
    if data['type'] == 'progress':
        print(f"Progress: {data['data']['value']}/{data['data']['max']}")

Best Practices

1. Connection pooling - Reuse HTTP connections

2. Async requests - Use aiohttp for concurrent calls

3. Timeouts - Always set request timeouts

4. Retry logic - Handle temporary failures

5. Rate limiting - Don't overwhelm the server

6. Health checks - Monitor server availability

---

Next Steps

• Batch Processing - Process large workloads

• Multi-GPU Setup - Scale your deployment

• LLM Comparison - Choose the right server
