Monster API

MonsterAPIs provides access to generative AI model APIs at 80% lower costs. Connect to MonsterAPI LLM APIs seamlessly through Portkey’s AI gateway.

Portkey provides a robust and secure gateway to facilitate the integration of various Large Language Models (LLMs) into your applications, including MonsterAPI APIs.

With Portkey, you can take advantage of features like fast AI gateway access, observability, prompt management, and more, all while ensuring the secure management of your LLM API keys through a virtual key system.

Portkey SDK Integration with MonsterAPI Models

Portkey provides a consistent API to interact with models from various providers. To integrate MonsterAPI with Portkey:

1. Install the Portkey SDK

Add the Portkey SDK to your application to interact with MonsterAPI’s API through Portkey’s gateway.

NodeJS

npm install --save portkey-ai

Python

pip install portkey-ai

2. Initialize Portkey with the Virtual Key

To use Monster API with Portkey, get your API key from here, then add it to Portkey to create the virtual key.

NodeJS SDK

import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

const portkey = new Portkey({
    apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY", // defaults to process.env["PORTKEY_API_KEY"]
    virtualKey: "VIRTUAL_KEY" // Your MonsterAPI Virtual Key
})

3. Invoke Chat Completions with MonsterAPI

Use the Portkey instance to send requests to MonsterAPI. You can also override the virtual key directly in the API call if needed.

NodeJS SDK

const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
    messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Say this is a test' }],
    model: 'TinyLlama/TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat-v1.0',
});

console.log(chatCompletion.choices);

Python SDK

completion = portkey.chat.completions.create(
    messages= [{ "role": 'user', "content": 'Say this is a test' }],
    model= 'mistral-medium'
)

print(completion)

Managing MonsterAPI Prompts

You can manage all prompts to MonsterAPI in the Prompt Library. All the current models of MonsterAPI are supported and you can easily start testing different prompts.

Once you’re ready with your prompt, you can use the portkey.prompts.completions.create interface to use the prompt in your application.
