Responses API

Use the OpenAI Responses API format through Helicone AI Gateway with your Helicone API key

The Responses API is OpenAI’s newer interface for conversational AI that supports advanced features like reasoning, tool use, and streaming. Helicone’s AI Gateway supports the Responses API format for both OpenAI and Anthropic models.

Quick Start

Use your Helicone API key and the AI Gateway base URL. Then call the OpenAI SDK’s responses.create method as usual.

TypeScript

import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.HELICONE_API_KEY,
  baseURL: "https://ai-gateway.helicone.ai/v1",
});

const response = await client.responses.create({
  model: "gpt-5",
  input: "Write a one-sentence bedtime story about a unicorn.",
});

console.log(response.output_text);
