Drop-in Replacement

Zero Code Changes

The Vikat Gateway acts as a drop-in replacement for popular AI SDKs. This means you can point your existing OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google GenAI client to Vikat’s HTTP gateway and instantly gain access to advanced features without rewriting your application. The magic happens with a single line change: update your base_url to point to Vikat’s gateway, and everything else stays exactly the same.

How It Works

Vikat provides 100% compatible endpoints for popular AI SDKs by acting as a protocol adapter. Your existing SDK code continues to work unchanged, but now benefits from Vikat’s multi-provider support, automatic failovers, semantic caching, and governance features.

OpenAI SDK
Anthropic SDK

# Before: Direct to OpenAI
client = openai.OpenAI(
    api_key="your-openai-key"
)

# After: Through Vikat
client = openai.OpenAI(
    base_url="http://localhost:8080/openai",  # Only change needed
    api_key="dummy-key"  # Keys handled by Vikat
)

# Before: Direct to Anthropic
client = anthropic.Anthropic(
    api_key="your-anthropic-key"
)

# After: Through Vikat
client = anthropic.Anthropic(
    base_url="http://localhost:8080/anthropic",  # Only change needed
    api_key="dummy-key"  # Keys handled by Vikat
)

Instant Advanced Features

Once your SDK points to Vikat, you automatically get:

Multi-provider support with automatic failovers
Load balancing across multiple API keys
Semantic caching for faster responses
Governance controls for usage monitoring and budgets
Request/response logging and analytics
Rate limiting and circuit breakers

and so much more! All without changing a single line of your application logic.
