A thousand of them cost about ₦11,880. When 1,000 of the input tokens are instructions that stay the same, prompt caching reads them at the cached rate and the request costs about ₦9.06.
Use Claude Sonnet 5.5 from your code
Bridge speaks the OpenAI format, so the OpenAI SDK works as it is: set the base URL to https://wekoya-api.wekoya.tech/v1, use your Bridge key, and pass claude-sonnet-5-5 as the model. Create a key, then:
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(api_key="wk_live_...", base_url="https://wekoya-api.wekoya.tech/v1")
reply = client.chat.completions.create(
model="claude-sonnet-5-5",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
)
print(reply.choices[0].message.content)Streaming works the same way, and so does tool calling. To send a picture, add it to the message as an image. The quickstart has the same in JavaScript and curl, and the Responses API works too.
