# Venice Chat Completions

`POST /api/v1/chat/completions` is Venice's main text endpoint. It's OpenAI-compatible, plus a `venice_parameters` object for Venice-only features. Auth is a Bearer API key or an x402 wallet (`SIGN-IN-WITH-X`); see [`venice-auth`](../venice-auth/SKILL.md).

## Use when

- You need LLM text generation, with or without tools, with or without streaming.
- You want multimodal inputs (images, audio, video, documents) to a capable model.
- You want Venice-specific features: web search, web scraping, citations, E2EE, characters, xAI X/Twitter search, thinking control.
- You need prompt caching for large system prompts or long documents.
- You need structured (`json_schema`) output.

For the OpenAI Responses-style shape (typed `output[]` blocks), see [`venice-responses`](../venice-responses/SKILL.md). To pick a model, see [`venice-text-routing`](../venice-text-routing/SKILL.md).

## Minimal request

```bash
curl https://api.venice.ai/api/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $VENICE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "zai-org-glm-5-1",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Why is the sky blue?"}]
  }'
```
