Venice Chat Completions

POST /api/v1/chat/completions is Venice's main text endpoint. It's OpenAI-compatible, plus a venice_parameters object for Venice-only features.

Use when

• You need LLM text generation, with or without tools, with or without streaming.
• You want multimodal inputs (images, audio, video) to a vision/audio-capable model.
• You want Venice-specific features: web search, E2EE, characters, xAI X/Twitter search, strip-thinking, web scraping.
• You need prompt caching for large system prompts or long documents.
• You need structured (json_schema) output.

For the newer Alpha Responses API, see venice-responses.
