In the OpenAIQ ecosystem, developers can interact with models through two main APIs: Responses API and Chat Completions API. .This tutorial will delve into The difference between the two, applicable scenarios, and how to choose the API that best suits your project needs.
Responses APl ·Positioning: The latest core API is a proxy API primitive Features: Combines the simplicity of Chat Completions with the ability to perform more agent tasks ·Recommended target: new users ·Built-in tools: web search, file search, computer usage Chat Completions API ·Positioning: building industry standards for A applications ·Features: Stable and widely used ·Future planning: OpenAi plans to support indefinitely
The Responses API is our latest core API and a proxy API primitive that combines the ease of chat completion with the ability to perform more proxy tasks. As model capabilities continue to evolve, the Responses API will become a flexible foundation for building action-oriented applications, with built-in tools for:
