Test KiosAPI with cURL

Send a minimal OpenAI-compatible request to KiosAPI without installing an SDK.

Test KiosAPI with cURL

cURL is the fastest way to verify an API key, model ID, endpoint, and network path before configuring an SDK or desktop client.

Set your API key

export KIOSAPI_API_KEY="sk-xxx"

On Windows PowerShell, use:

$env:KIOSAPI_API_KEY = "sk-xxx"

List models

curl https://kiosapi.com/v1/models \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $KIOSAPI_API_KEY"

Copy an available id from the response and use it in the next request.

Send a chat request

curl https://kiosapi.com/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $KIOSAPI_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gpt-5.5",
    "messages": [
      {"role": "user", "content": "Reply with exactly: KiosAPI connected"}
    ],
    "max_tokens": 20
  }'

Replace gpt-5.5 if it is not present in your model list.

Enable streaming

Add "stream": true to the JSON body:

curl https://kiosapi.com/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $KIOSAPI_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gpt-5.5",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Stream a short greeting"}],
    "stream": true
  }'

Troubleshooting

• 401: check the Bearer token and confirm it has not been revoked.
• 404: check the path and exact model ID.
• 429: check quota, balance, and rate limits.
• 5xx: retry with a small request or another available model.

Never paste a real API key into shell history, public issues, or documentation examples.
