openai-api-availability-test

A tiny CLI that checks whether an OpenAI API key can call Chat Completions.

Usage

pip install -e openai-api-availability-test
openai-api-test --api-key "your_api_key"

The test uses gpt-4.1-nano by default, asks for only one output token, uses https://api.openai.com/v1/ as the default base URL, and has a 10-second timeout.

To use another model:

openai-api-test --api-key "your_api_key" --model gpt-4.1-mini

To use another base URL:

openai-api-test --api-key "your_api_key" --base-url "https://api.openai.com/v1"

To use another timeout:

openai-api-test --api-key "your_api_key" --timeout 30

Python API

from openai_api_availability_test import check_availability

available = check_availability(
    api_key="your_api_key",
    base_url="https://api.openai.com/v1/",
    timeout=30,
)
print(available)
