1. Get a gateway key

After your organisation is set up, an administrator signs in to the console with Microsoft Entra and creates a key for your app, choosing its allowed models, budget and rate limit. Request access if you do not have an account yet.

Treat the key like a password. Store it in an environment variable or secrets manager, never in source control.

2. Use the base URL

https://llmfw.peritusdigital.com.au/v1

Endpoints

Method	Path	Description
`POST`	`/v1/chat/completions`	Chat completions, including streaming. OpenAI-compatible.
`POST`	`/v1/responses`	Responses API, OpenAI-compatible.
`POST`	`/v1/embeddings`	Text embeddings.
`POST`	`/v1/messages`	Anthropic-compatible Messages API.

Authentication

Send your gateway key as a bearer token: Authorization: Bearer <gateway key>. Provider keys are never required by your application.

Examples

curl

curl https://llmfw.peritusdigital.com.au/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GATEWAY_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gpt-4o",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello from the gateway"}]
  }'

Python

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://llmfw.peritusdigital.com.au/v1",
    api_key=os.environ["GATEWAY_KEY"],
)
resp = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4o",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello from the gateway"}],
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)

Node

import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  baseURL: "https://llmfw.peritusdigital.com.au/v1",
  apiKey: process.env.GATEWAY_KEY,
});
const resp = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "gpt-4o",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello from the gateway" }],
});
console.log(resp.choices[0].message.content);

Anthropic SDK (Python)

import anthropic

client = anthropic.Anthropic(
    base_url="https://llmfw.peritusdigital.com.au",
    api_key=os.environ["GATEWAY_KEY"],
)
msg = client.messages.create(
    model="claude-sonnet", max_tokens=512,
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
)

Model names are the ones your administrator has enabled for your key. List them from the console.

When a policy applies

If a request is blocked by policy, the gateway returns an error response explaining which rule applied. Redacted and tokenised requests succeed normally. Tokenised values are restored in the response.
