Quick Start — 3 Lines of Code

Switch from OpenAI to Qwen by changing just the base URL and model name.

import openai

client = openai.OpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_TOKENEASE_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://tokenease.io/v1"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="qwen-plus",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Write a Python function to reverse a linked list"}]
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)

Same SDK. Same parameters. Just change model="qwen-plus" and base_url.
