just-grok-it 0.1.1

Auto-redirect LLM API requests (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Mistral, Cohere, OpenRouter) to xAI APIs - Just Grok It!

Just Grok It 🚀

Auto-redirect LLM API requests to xAI APIs with a single line of code.

Overview

just-grok-it is a drop-in solution that redirects LLM API calls from multiple providers to xAI's OpenAI-compatible API. This allows you to seamlessly switch your existing LLM-powered applications to use Grok models without changing any of your existing code.

Supported SDKs

Provider	Package	Redirect Method
OpenAI	openai	Direct base URL redirect
OpenRouter	openrouter	Official SDK patching + format conversion
Together AI	openai (custom base_url)	Base URL intercept + redirect
Groq	openai (custom base_url)	Base URL intercept + redirect
Perplexity	openai (custom base_url)	Base URL intercept + redirect
Anthropic	anthropic	Format conversion + redirect
Google Gemini	google-generativeai	Format conversion + redirect
Mistral AI	mistralai	Format conversion + redirect
Cohere	cohere	Format conversion + redirect

Note: OpenRouter, Together AI, Groq, and Perplexity also work when using the openai SDK with custom base_url - those requests are intercepted and redirected as well.

Installation

pip install just-grok-it

Or with uv:

uv add just-grok-it

Quick Start

Add a single line at the entry point of your application:

import just_grok_it
just_grok_it.all()  # Uses default model: grok-4-1-fast-non-reasoning

# Your existing code works as-is - all calls go to xAI!

OpenAI Example

import just_grok_it
just_grok_it.all()

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI()  # Connects to xAI APIs
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="grok-4",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello, Grok!"}]
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)

OpenRouter Example (Official SDK)

import just_grok_it
just_grok_it.all()

from openrouter import OpenRouter

# Your existing OpenRouter code - automatically redirected to xAI!
client = OpenRouter(api_key="your-key")
response = client.chat.send(
    model="anthropic/claude-3-opus",  # Will use Grok instead
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)

Together / Groq Migration (via OpenAI SDK)

import just_grok_it
just_grok_it.all()

from openai import OpenAI

# Your existing Together/Groq code using OpenAI SDK - automatically redirected!
client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.together.xyz/v1",  # Will be redirected!
    api_key="your-key"
)
# All calls now go to xAI

Anthropic Example

import just_grok_it
just_grok_it.all()

from anthropic import Anthropic

client = Anthropic()  # Calls get converted and sent to xAI
response = client.messages.create(
    model="claude-3-sonnet",  # Will use Grok model instead
    max_tokens=1024,
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
)
print(response.content[0].text)

Google Gemini Example

import just_grok_it
just_grok_it.all()

import google.generativeai as genai

model = genai.GenerativeModel('gemini-pro')  # Uses xAI instead
response = model.generate_content("Hello!")
print(response.text)

Mistral AI Example

import just_grok_it
just_grok_it.all()

from mistralai import Mistral

client = Mistral(api_key="your-key")
response = client.chat.complete(
    model="mistral-large",  # Will use Grok instead
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)

Cohere Example

import just_grok_it
just_grok_it.all()

import cohere

client = cohere.Client(api_key="your-key")
response = client.chat(
    message="Hello!",
    model="command"  # Will use Grok instead
)
print(response.text)

Configuration

API Key

Set your xAI API key as an environment variable:

export XAI_API_KEY="your-xai-api-key"

The library checks for API keys in this order:

1. XAI_API_KEY - Preferred, checked first
2. OPENAI_API_KEY - Fallback if XAI_API_KEY is not set

When using the OpenAI SDK without passing an api_key to the client constructor, just-grok-it will automatically use XAI_API_KEY from the environment:

import just_grok_it
just_grok_it.all()

from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI()  # Uses XAI_API_KEY from environment automatically

Get your API key from the xAI Console.

Default Model

The default model is grok-4-1-fast-non-reasoning. You can change it:

import just_grok_it
just_grok_it.all(default_model='grok-4')  # Use grok-4 instead

Available Models

• grok-4-1-fast-non-reasoning - Fast, efficient model (default)
• grok-4 - Latest and most capable model
• grok-3 - Previous generation flagship model
• grok-3-mini - Faster, lightweight model

See xAI documentation for the complete list.

API Reference

just_grok_it.all(default_model=None)

Main entry point. Activates xAI API redirection for all installed SDKs.

Parameters:

• default_model (str, optional): Default model. Defaults to grok-4-1-fast-non-reasoning.

Returns:

• dict: Provider names mapped to patch success status.

results = just_grok_it.all()
# {'openai': True, 'openrouter': True, 'anthropic': True, 'gemini': False, 'mistral': False, 'cohere': False}

just_grok_it.unpatch_all()

Removes all patches and restores original SDK behavior.

just_grok_it.is_patched(provider_name=None)

Check if SDKs are patched.

just_grok_it.get_installed_providers()

Returns list of installed provider names.

just_grok_it.get_patched_providers()

Returns list of currently patched provider names.

just_grok_it.DEFAULT_XAI_MODEL

The default model constant: grok-4-1-fast-non-reasoning

just_grok_it.XAI_BASE_URL

The xAI API base URL: https://api.x.ai/v1

Debug Logging

Enable debug logging to see interception messages:

import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

import just_grok_it
just_grok_it.all()

Output:

DEBUG:just_grok_it:[just_grok_it] Initialized with default model: grok-4-1-fast-non-reasoning
DEBUG:just_grok_it:[just_grok_it] Patched providers: openai, openrouter, anthropic, gemini, mistral, cohere
DEBUG:just_grok_it:[just_grok_it] All requests will now be redirected to https://api.x.ai/v1

When making API calls:

DEBUG:just_grok_it:[just_grok_it] openai: Intercepted OpenAI initialization, redirecting to xAI API: https://api.x.ai/v1
DEBUG:just_grok_it:[just_grok_it] anthropic: Intercepted messages.create request, redirecting to xAI API with model: grok-4

How It Works

OpenAI SDK (and compatible providers via base_url)

The library monkey-patches the OpenAI client __init__ to override the base_url to https://api.x.ai/v1, regardless of the original URL. This covers OpenAI direct usage, and any provider that uses the OpenAI SDK with a custom base_url (Together, Groq, Perplexity, etc.).

Official OpenRouter SDK

The library patches the openrouter.chat.Chat.send() method to intercept calls, convert to OpenAI format, send to xAI, and convert the response back to OpenRouter format.

Native SDKs (Anthropic, Gemini, Mistral, Cohere)

The library intercepts API calls, converts the request format to OpenAI format, sends to xAI, and converts the response back to the original format.

Compatibility

• Python: 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14
• OpenAI SDK: 1.0.0+
• OpenRouter SDK: 0.1.0+
• Anthropic SDK: 0.18.0+
• Google GenAI SDK: 0.5.0+
• Mistral AI SDK: 0.1.0+
• Cohere SDK: 5.0.0+

Adding New Providers

The library is designed to be extensible:

1. Create a provider class inheriting from BaseProvider in src/just_grok_it/providers/
2. Implement: is_installed(), patch(), unpatch()
3. Add format converters in src/just_grok_it/_converters/ if needed
4. Register in src/just_grok_it/providers/__init__.py
