curl Examples

Reviewed by Proof · Updated

Definition

curl examples are ready-to-run terminal commands for luv13's two endpoints, listing models and sending a chat completion.

Key takeaways

  • Export your key once with export LUV13_API_KEY=sk-luv13-..., then every command below runs as written.
  • All chat examples use luv13/glm-5.3-flash, the model luv13.ai/docs uses.
  • GET /v1/models answered without a key on 2026-09-30; chat completions always needs one.
  • Add -s -w "\nHTTP %{http_code}\n" to any command to see the status code.

List models

curl https://api.luv13.ai/v1/models

Only the ids, one per line (needs jq):

curl -s https://api.luv13.ai/v1/models | jq -r '.data[].id'

Send a message

curl https://api.luv13.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LUV13_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "luv13/glm-5.3-flash", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "ping"}]}'

Send a long prompt from a file

Build the JSON with jq so quotes and newlines in the file are escaped correctly:

jq -n --rawfile text prompt.txt \
  '{model: "luv13/glm-5.3-flash", messages: [{role: "user", content: $text}]}' \
  | curl -s https://api.luv13.ai/v1/chat/completions \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer $LUV13_API_KEY" \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d @-

Check your key

curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}\n" https://api.luv13.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LUV13_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "luv13/glm-5.3-flash", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "ping"}]}'

401 means the key is missing or wrong. See Errors and Status Codes.
