The G4F Interference API is a powerful tool that allows you to serve other OpenAI integrations using G4F (Gpt4free). It acts as a proxy, translating requests intended for the OpenAI API into requests compatible with G4F providers. This guide will walk you through the process of setting up, running, and using the Interference API effectively.
You can run the Interference API in two ways: using the PyPI package or from the repository.
To run the Interference API directly from the G4F PyPI package, use the following Python code:
from g4f.api import run_api
run_api()
If you prefer to run the Interference API from the cloned repository, you have two options:
- Using the command line:
g4f api
- Using Python:
python -m g4f.api.run
Once running, the API will be accessible at: http://localhost:1337/v1
(Advanced) Bind to custom port:
python -m g4f.cli api --bind "0.0.0.0:2400"
You can interact with the Interference API using curl commands for both text and image generation:
For text generation:
curl -X POST "http://localhost:1337/v1/chat/completions" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"messages": [
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Hello"
}
],
"model": "gpt-4o-mini"
}'
For image generation:
- url:
curl -X POST "http://localhost:1337/v1/images/generate" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"prompt": "a white siamese cat",
"model": "flux",
"response_format": "url"
}'
- b64_json
curl -X POST "http://localhost:1337/v1/images/generate" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"prompt": "a white siamese cat",
"model": "flux",
"response_format": "b64_json"
}'
You can use the Interference API with the OpenAI Python library by changing the base_url
:
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
api_key="",
base_url="http://localhost:1337/v1"
)
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="gpt-4o-mini",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Write a poem about a tree"}],
stream=True,
)
if isinstance(response, dict):
# Not streaming
print(response.choices[0].message.content)
else:
# Streaming
for token in response:
content = token.choices[0].delta.content
if content is not None:
print(content, end="", flush=True)
You can also send requests directly to the Interference API using the requests
library:
import requests
url = "http://localhost:1337/v1/chat/completions"
body = {
"model": "gpt-4o-mini",
"stream": False,
"messages": [
{"role": "assistant", "content": "What can you do?"}
]
}
json_response = requests.post(url, json=body).json().get('choices', [])
for choice in json_response:
print(choice.get('message', {}).get('content', ''))
- The Interference API translates OpenAI API requests into G4F provider requests.
- It can be run from either the PyPI package or the cloned repository.
- The API supports usage with the OpenAI Python library by changing the
base_url
. - Direct requests can be sent to the API endpoints using libraries like
requests
. - Both text and image generation are supported.
The G4F Interference API provides a seamless way to integrate G4F with existing OpenAI-based applications and tools. By following this guide, you should now be able to set up, run, and use the Interference API effectively. Whether you're using it for text generation, image creation, or as a drop-in replacement for OpenAI in your projects, the Interference API offers flexibility and power for your AI-driven applications.
