API Platform
Developer quickstart
Make your first API request in minutes. Learn the basics of the OpenAI platform.
Build paths
Responses API
Make direct model requests for text, structured output, tools, and multimodal workflows.
Start with ResponsesAgents SDK
Build code-first agents that orchestrate tools, handoffs, approvals, tracing, and container-based execution.
