	Unofficial open APIs for popular LLMs with self-hosted redirect capability

---

❓ WAT

🕊️ LLM-API-Open (LMAO) allows for the free and universal utilization of popular Large Language Models (LLM). This is achieved using browser automation. LLM-API-Open (LMAO) launches a browser in headless mode and controls a website as if a real user were using it. This enables the use of popular LLMs that usually don't offer easy and free access to their official APIs

🔥 Additionally, LLM-API-Open (LMAO) is capable of creating its own API server to which any other apps can send requests. In other words, you can utilize LLM-API-Open (LMAO) both as a Python package and as an API proxy for any of your apps!

---

🚧 LLM-API-Open is development

Due to my studies, I don't have much time to work on the project 😔

Currently, LLM-API-Open has only 2 modules: ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot

📈 But it is possible to add other popular online LLMs (You can wait, or make a pull-request yourself)

📄 Documentation is also under development! Consider reading docstring for now

🏗️ Getting started

⚠️ Will not work with Python 3.13 or later due to imghdr

⚙️ 1. Download / build / install LLM-API-Open

There is 4 general ways to get LLM-API-Open

⚙️ Install via pip

• Install from PyPi

  pip install llm-api-open
  

• Or install from GitHub directly

  pip install git+https://github.com/F33RNI/LLM-API-Open.git
  

• Or clone repo and install

  git clone https://github.com/F33RNI/LLM-API-Open.git
  cd LLM-API-Open
  
  python -m venv venv
  source venv/bin/activate
  
  pip install .
  

⬇️ Download cli version from releases

https://github.com/F33RNI/LLM-API-Open/releases/latest

🔨 Build cli version from source using PyInstaller

git clone https://github.com/F33RNI/LLM-API-Open.git
cd LLM-API-Open

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

pyinstaller lmao.spec

dist/lmao --help

💻 Use source as is

git clone https://github.com/F33RNI/LLM-API-Open.git
cd LLM-API-Open

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

export PYTHONPATH=./src:$PYTHONPATH
export PYTHONPATH=./src/lmao:$PYTHONPATH
python -m main --help

🔧 2. Configure LLM-API-Open

1. Download configs directory from this repo
2. Open .json files of modules you need in any editor and change it as you need
3. Specify path to configs directory with -c path/to/configs argument

---

📦 Python package example

import logging
import json

from lmao.module_wrapper import ModuleWrapper

# Initialize logging in a simplest way
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)

# Load config
with open("path/to/configs/chatgpt.json", "r", encoding="utf-8") as file:
    module_config = json.loads(file.read())

# Initialize module
module = ModuleWrapper("chatgpt", module_config)
module.initialize(blocking=True)

# Ask smth
conversation_id = None
for response in module.ask({"prompt": "Hi! Who are you?", "convert_to_markdown": True}):
    conversation_id = response.get("conversation_id")
    response_text = response.get("response")
    print(response_text, end="\n\n")

# Delete conversation
module.delete_conversation({"conversation_id": conversation_id})

# Close (unload) module
module.close(blocking=True)

💻 CLI example

$ lmao --help        
usage: lmao [-h] [-v] [-c CONFIG] [-t TEST] [-i IP] [-p PORT] [--no-logging-init]

Unofficial open APIs for popular LLMs with self-hosted redirect capability

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -v, --version         show program's version number and exit
  -c CONFIGS, --configs CONFIGS
                        path to configs directory with each module config file (Default: configs)
  -t TEST, --test TEST  module name to test in cli instead of starting API server (eg. --test=chatgpt)
  -i IP, --ip IP        API server Host (IP) (Default: localhost)
  -p PORT, --port PORT  API server port (Default: 1312)
  --no-logging-init     specify to bypass logging initialization (will be set automatically when using --test)

examples:
  lmao --test=chatgpt
  lmao --ip="0.0.0.0" --port=1312
  lmao --ip="0.0.0.0" --port=1312 --no-logging-init

$ lmao --test=chatgpt
