Glitch

Node.js / TypeScript SDK

Use the official OpenAI Node.js/TypeScript SDK with Glitch by configuring the base URL and adding your Glitch API key.

Basic Setup

Section titled “Basic Setup”
import OpenAI from 'openai';


const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.GLITCH_API_KEY!,  // Your Glitch API key
  baseURL: 'https://api.golabrat.ai/v1',  // Glitch sensor URL
});


const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'gpt-4',
  messages: [
    { role: 'system', content: 'You are a helpful assistant.' },
    { role: 'user', content: 'Hello!' }
  ]
});


console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);

Error Handling

Section titled “Error Handling”

Handle Glitch security blocks gracefully:

import OpenAI from 'openai';


const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.GLITCH_API_KEY!,
  baseURL: 'https://api.golabrat.ai/v1',
});


try {
  const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
    model: 'gpt-4',
    messages: [{ role: 'user', content: userInput }]
  });
  return response.choices[0].message.content;
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof OpenAI.APIError && error.status === 403) {
    // Security block - handle gracefully
    return "I can't process that request.";
  }
  throw error;
}

Accessing Security Headers

Section titled “Accessing Security Headers”

The OpenAI Node.js SDK doesn’t expose response headers directly. Use fetch for direct HTTP calls to access security metadata from /v1/chat/completions responses:

const response = await fetch('https://api.golabrat.ai/v1/chat/completions', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.GLITCH_API_KEY}`,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    model: 'gpt-4',
    messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello' }],
  }),
});


// Access security headers
const blocked = response.headers.get('X-Risk-Blocked') === 'true';
const categories = response.headers.get('X-Risk-Categories');
const confidence = parseFloat(response.headers.get('X-Risk-Confidence') || '0');


if (categories) {
  console.log(`Flagged: ${categories} (confidence: ${confidence})`);
}

Streaming Support

Section titled “Streaming Support”

Glitch fully supports streaming responses:

import OpenAI from 'openai';


const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.GLITCH_API_KEY!,
  baseURL: 'https://api.golabrat.ai/v1',
});


const stream = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'gpt-4',
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Write a poem' }],
  stream: true,
});


for await (const chunk of stream) {
  process.stdout.write(chunk.choices[0]?.delta?.content || '');
}
