# xAI

## Endpoint

```
https://gateway.ai.cloudflare.com/v1/{account_id}/{gateway_id}/grok
```

## URL structure

When making requests to [Grok ↗](https://docs.x.ai/docs#getting-started), replace `https://api.x.ai/v1` in the URL you are currently using with `https://gateway.ai.cloudflare.com/v1/{account_id}/{gateway_id}/grok`.

## Prerequisites

When making requests to Grok, ensure you have the following:

* Your AI Gateway Account ID.
* Your AI Gateway gateway name.
* An active xAI API token.
* The name of the xAI model you want to use.

## Examples

### cURL

Request

```
curl https://gateway.ai.cloudflare.com/v1/{account_id}/{gateway_id}/grok/v1/chat/completions \  --header 'content-type: application/json' \  --header 'Authorization: Bearer {xai_api_token}' \  --data '{    "model": "grok-4",    "messages": [        {            "role": "user",            "content": "What is Cloudflare?"        }    ]}'
```

### Use OpenAI SDK with JavaScript

If you are using the OpenAI SDK with JavaScript, you can set your endpoint like this:

JavaScript

```
import OpenAI from "openai";
const openai = new OpenAI({  apiKey: "<api key>",  baseURL:    "https://gateway.ai.cloudflare.com/v1/{account_id}/{gateway_id}/grok",});
const completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({  model: "grok-4",  messages: [    {      role: "system",      content:        "You are Grok, a chatbot inspired by the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.",    },    {      role: "user",      content: "What is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything?",    },  ],});
console.log(completion.choices[0].message);
```

### Use OpenAI SDK with Python

If you are using the OpenAI SDK with Python, you can set your endpoint like this:

Python

```
import osfrom openai import OpenAI
XAI_API_KEY = os.getenv("XAI_API_KEY")client = OpenAI(    api_key=XAI_API_KEY,    base_url="https://gateway.ai.cloudflare.com/v1/{account_id}/{gateway_id}/grok",)
completion = client.chat.completions.create(    model="grok-4",    messages=[        {"role": "system", "content": "You are Grok, a chatbot inspired by the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy."},        {"role": "user", "content": "What is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything?"},    ],)
print(completion.choices[0].message)
```

### Use Anthropic SDK with JavaScript

If you are using the Anthropic SDK with JavaScript, you can set your endpoint like this:

JavaScript

```
import Anthropic from "@anthropic-ai/sdk";
const anthropic = new Anthropic({  apiKey: "<api key>",  baseURL:    "https://gateway.ai.cloudflare.com/v1/{account_id}/{gateway_id}/grok",});
const msg = await anthropic.messages.create({  model: "grok-beta",  max_tokens: 128,  system:    "You are Grok, a chatbot inspired by the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.",  messages: [    {      role: "user",      content: "What is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything?",    },  ],});
console.log(msg);
```

### Use Anthropic SDK with Python

If you are using the Anthropic SDK with Python, you can set your endpoint like this:

Python

```
import osfrom anthropic import Anthropic
XAI_API_KEY = os.getenv("XAI_API_KEY")client = Anthropic(    api_key=XAI_API_KEY,    base_url="https://gateway.ai.cloudflare.com/v1/{account_id}/{gateway_id}/grok",)
message = client.messages.create(    model="grok-beta",    max_tokens=128,    system="You are Grok, a chatbot inspired by the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.",    messages=[        {            "role": "user",            "content": "What is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything?",        },    ],)
print(message.content)
```

## OpenAI-Compatible Endpoint

You can also access Grok models using the OpenAI API schema through the [REST API](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ai-gateway/usage/rest-api/). Send your requests to:

```
https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/{account_id}/ai/v1/chat/completions
```

Specify:

```
{"model": "grok/{model}"}
```
