Base URL setup
Use a practical OpenAI-compatible migration checklist.
TackleKey
OpenAI-compatible proxy
An OpenAI-compatible proxy should make operations visible
The point of a proxy is not only to change one endpoint. Teams also need key isolation, pricing visibility, request logs, model naming, and clear service boundaries.
Execution order
| # | Action | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Verify client compatibility | Start with a base URL, project key, and model name change before rewriting app code. |
| 2 | Separate teams and projects | Use different keys for environments, services, and customer projects. |
| 3 | Check logs before provider swaps | A provider swap can hide wrong parameters, bad retries, or invalid model names. |
| 4 | Confirm security boundaries | Keep API keys server-side and avoid sending sensitive data in test prompts. |

This is a scenario checklist, not a lowest-price or availability guarantee. Confirm live pricing, logs, and service boundaries before scaling.
Try TackleKey with one OpenAI-compatible change
Create an account, generate a project API key, then replace your client base URL with the TackleKey endpoint. Keep keys server-side and verify live pricing before scaling traffic.
