Set it up with your agent

Copy this and paste it into a coding agent like Claude Code, Cursor or Codex and it'll wire up qynio for you.

Or call it directly

import OpenAI from "openai";
const client = new OpenAI({
apiKey: process.env.QYN_API_KEY,
baseURL: "https://api.qyn.io/v3/compat",
});
const completion = await client.chat.completions.create({
model: "berget/zai-org/GLM-5.3-Flash",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello" }],
});
console.log(completion.choices[0].message.content);
