## API Endpoint

Base URL: https://api.core.today
Endpoint: POST /llm/openai/v1/chat/completions

## Authentication
Header: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

## Input Parameters

### Required
- **messages**: array - Array of message objects with role and content
- **model**: string (default: gpt-5.2-pro-2025-12-11) - Model identifier (dated snapshot id)

### Optional
- **max_completion_tokens**: integer - Maximum tokens in response (includes internal reasoning tokens). Note: use max_completion_tokens, not max_tokens
- **reasoning_effort**: string - Reasoning effort level: low, medium, or high
  Options: low, medium, high
- **stream**: boolean (default: false) - Enable Server-Sent Events streaming

## Examples

### Maximum-Effort Analysis
Hardest reasoning task with GPT-5.2 Pro
```json
{
  "model": "gpt-5.2-pro-2025-12-11",
  "messages": [
    {
      "role": "user",
      "content": "Review this database migration plan for a zero-downtime rollout across 40 services and identify every failure mode with mitigations."
    }
  ],
  "max_completion_tokens": 16000
}
```

## Response Format
```json
{
  "id": "chatcmpl-abc123",
  "object": "chat.completion",
  "choices": [
    {
      "index": 0,
      "message": {
        "role": "assistant",
        "content": "Response text here"
      },
      "finish_reason": "stop"
    }
  ],
  "usage": {
    "prompt_tokens": 100,
    "completion_tokens": 50,
    "total_tokens": 150
  }
}
```

## Tips
- Works with the OpenAI SDK - set base_url to https://ai.api.core.today/llm/openai/v1
- Dated snapshot id - pin this exact id for reproducible behavior
- Reserve for the hardest problems - standard GPT-5.2 is far cheaper for routine tasks
- Responses take longer due to extended internal thinking
