How to Switch Between GPT-4o and Claude in One API Call

Why use a gateway

Switching providers normally means rewriting your integration from scratch — different SDKs, different auth, different response shapes. With KodaAPI you just change the model field and everything else stays the same.

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(api_key="your-koda-key", base_url="https://kodaapi.com/v1")

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="claude-sonnet-4-6",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
)

Key benefits

• One API key for every provider
• Automatic fallback if a provider is down
• Unified billing — points deducted per token, no per-provider invoices

Same code, different model. That's the whole idea behind an API gateway.
