Build a Chatbot

Build a streaming chatbot using the AINative Chat Completions API.

Prerequisites

• AINative API key (get one free)

Python

import requests

API_KEY = "your-api-key"
BASE = "https://api.ainative.studio/api/v1/public"
HEADERS = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}", "Content-Type": "application/json"}

messages = [{"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."}]

while True:
    user_input = input("You: ")
    if user_input.lower() in ("quit", "exit"):
        break

    messages.append({"role": "user", "content": user_input})

    response = requests.post(f"{BASE}/chat/completions", headers=HEADERS, json={
        "model": "meta-llama/llama-3.3-70b-instruct",
        "messages": messages,
    })

    assistant_message = response.json()["choices"][0]["message"]["content"]
    messages.append({"role": "assistant", "content": assistant_message})
    print(f"Assistant: {assistant_message}")

curl

curl -X POST https://api.ainative.studio/api/v1/public/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "meta-llama/llama-3.3-70b-instruct",
    "messages": [
      {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
      {"role": "user", "content": "What is ZeroDB?"}
    ]
  }'

What to Try Next

• Add streaming for real-time responses
• Add tool calling for function execution
• Use the React SDK for a frontend UI
