# OpenAI-compatible HTTP API
Clawdbots Gateway can serve a small OpenAI-compatible endpoint:
- `POST /v1/chat/completions`
- Same port as the Gateway (WS + HTTP multiplex): `http://<gateway-host>:<port>/v1/chat/completions`
Under the hood, requests are executed as a normal Gateway agent run (same codepath as `clawdbot agent`), so routing/permissions/config match your Gateway.
## Authentication
Uses the Gateway auth configuration. Send a bearer token:
- `Authorization: Bearer <token>`
Notes:
- When `gateway.auth.mode="token"`, use `gateway.auth.token` (or `CLAWDBOT_GATEWAY_TOKEN`).
- When `gateway.auth.mode="password"`, use `gateway.auth.password` (or `CLAWDBOT_GATEWAY_PASSWORD`).
## Choosing an agent
No custom headers required: encode the agent id in the OpenAI `model` field:
- `model: "clawdbot:<agentId>"` (example: `"clawdbot:main"`, `"clawdbot:beta"`)
- `model: "agent:<agentId>"` (alias)
Or target a specific Clawdbot agent by header:
- `x-clawdbot-agent-id: <agentId>` (default: `main`)
Advanced:
- `x-clawdbot-session-key: <sessionKey>` to fully control session routing.
## Session behavior
By default the endpoint is **stateless per request** (a new session key is generated each call).
If the request includes an OpenAI `user` string, the Gateway derives a stable session key from it, so repeated calls can share an agent session.
## Streaming (SSE)
Set `stream: true` to receive Server-Sent Events (SSE):
- `Content-Type: text/event-stream`
- Each event line is `data: <json>`
- Stream ends with `data: [DONE]`
## Examples
Non-streaming:
```bash
curl -sS http://127.0.0.1:18789/v1/chat/completions \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'x-clawdbot-agent-id: main' \
-d '{
"model": "clawdbot",
"messages": [{"role":"user","content":"hi"}]
}'
```
Streaming:
```bash
curl -N http://127.0.0.1:18789/v1/chat/completions \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'x-clawdbot-agent-id: main' \
-d '{
"model": "clawdbot",
"stream": true,
"messages": [{"role":"user","content":"hi"}]
}'
```
