genai-client 0.1.2

Unified minimal client for OpenAI and Google Gemini responses

genai-client

A tiny Python wrapper that unifies calls to OpenAI and Google Gemini with a simple, consistent interface.

Features

• Unified interface: OpenAIClient and GoogleAIClient share a similar API
• Batteries-included examples: minimal scripts and tests to verify setup
• Type hints: ships py.typed

Installation

pip install genai-client

Requirements

• Python >= 3.10
• API keys
  • OpenAI: OPENAI_API_KEY — get one at OpenAI API keys
  • Google Gemini: GEMINI_API_KEY — create at Google AI Studio API keys

Put keys in a .env at the project root (optional):

OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
GEMINI_API_KEY=...

Quick start

from genai_client import OpenAIClient, GoogleAIClient

openai_client = OpenAIClient(api_key="<OPENAI_API_KEY>")
print(openai_client.get_response("Say hi in one word"))

google_client = GoogleAIClient(api_key="<GEMINI_API_KEY>")
print(google_client.get_response("Say hi in one word"))

Or run the included example (loads .env automatically):

python example.py

API

• OpenAIClient(api_key: str)
  • get_response(prompt: str) -> str (uses OpenAI Responses API with model o4-mini)
  • Official docs: OpenAI Python SDK, Responses API
• GoogleAIClient(api_key: str)
  • get_response(prompt: str) -> str (streams text from gemini-2.5-flash)
  • Official docs: Gemini API for Python, google-genai SDK

Tests / smoke checks

# ensure .env has required keys
python tests/test_openai.py
python tests/test_gemini.py
