OATDA Text Completion

Generate text from 10+ LLM providers through OATDA's unified API.

API Key Resolution

All commands need the OATDA API key. Resolve it inline for each exec call:

export OATDA_API_KEY="${OATDA_API_KEY:-$(cat ~/.oatda/credentials.json 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.profiles[.defaultProfile].apiKey' 2>/dev/null)}"

If the key is empty or null, tell the user to get one at https://oatda.com and configure it.

Security: Never print the full API key. Only verify existence or show first 8 chars.

Model Mapping

Default: openai / gpt-4o if no model specified. If user provides provider/model format, split on /.

⚠️ Models update frequently. If a model ID fails, query oatda-list-models for the latest available models.

API Call

export OATDA_API_KEY="${OATDA_API_KEY:-$(cat ~/.oatda/credentials.json 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.profiles[.defaultProfile].apiKey' 2>/dev/null)}" && \
curl -s -X POST "https://oatda.com/api/v1/llm" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OATDA_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "provider": "\x3CPROVIDER>",
    "model": "\x3CMODEL>",
    "prompt": "\x3CUSER_PROMPT>",
    "temperature": 0.7,
    "maxTokens": 4096
  }'

Optional Parameters

• temperature: 0 (deterministic) to 2 (creative). Default: 0.7
• maxTokens: Max tokens to generate. Default: 4096 (max 128000 for some models)
• stream: Set to true for streaming (not recommended via curl)

Response Format

{
  "success": true,
  "provider": "openai",
  "model": "gpt-4o",
  "response": "The generated text content...",
  "tokenUsage": {
    "prompt_tokens": 25,
    "completion_tokens": 150,
    "total_tokens": 175,
    "cost": 0.001375
  }
}

Present the response field to the user. Optionally mention token usage and cost.

Error Handling

Example

User: "Write a haiku about code using claude"

export OATDA_API_KEY="${OATDA_API_KEY:-$(cat ~/.oatda/credentials.json 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.profiles[.defaultProfile].apiKey' 2>/dev/null)}" && \
curl -s -X POST "https://oatda.com/api/v1/llm" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OATDA_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "provider": "anthropic",
    "model": "claude-3-5-sonnet",
    "prompt": "Write a haiku about code",
    "temperature": 0.7,
    "maxTokens": 256
  }'

Notes

• The API expects prompt as a plain string, NOT a messages array
• Split provider/model into separate JSON fields
• For long-form content, increase maxTokens
• Use oatda-list-models to see all available models
• Use oatda-vision-analysis for image analysis tasks
