Introduction
If you're already using OpenAI, Replicate, or another AI provider, migrating to Abstrakt is straightforward. This guide walks you through the process.
Why Migrate?Abstrakt provides a unified API across 100+ models, automatic failover, and simplified billing.
From OpenAI
Before (OpenAI)
python
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(api_key="sk-...")
response = client.images.generate(
model="dall-e-3",
prompt="A sunset over mountains",
size="1024x1024",
)
image_url = response.data[0].urlAfter (Abstrakt)
python
import requests
response = requests.post(
"https://api.abstrakt.one/v1/models/flux-pro/run",
headers={"Authorization": "Bearer abs_..."},
json={"input": {"prompt": "A sunset over mountains"}}
)
image_url = response.json()["result"]["images"][0]["url"]Model Mapping
| OpenAI Model | Abstrakt Equivalent |
|---|---|
| DALL-E 3 | flux-pro |
| DALL-E 2 | flux-schnell |
From Replicate
Before (Replicate)
python
import replicate
output = replicate.run("stability-ai/sdxl:...", input={"prompt": "A sunset"})After (Abstrakt)
python
response = requests.post(
"https://api.abstrakt.one/v1/models/fast-sdxl/run",
headers={"Authorization": "Bearer abs_..."},
json={"input": {"prompt": "A sunset"}}
)Error Handling
javascript
try {
const result = await abstrakt.run('flux-schnell', input);
} catch (error) {
switch (error.code) {
case 'RATE_LIMITED': /* retry */ break;
case 'INVALID_INPUT': /* fix params */ break;
case 'MODEL_UNAVAILABLE': /* fallback */ break;
}
}Testing Your Migration
Use feature flags for gradual rollout:
javascript
if (await featureFlag.isEnabled('abstrakt-migration', userId, 0.1)) {
return abstrakt.run('flux-schnell', { prompt });
}
return oldProvider.generate(prompt);#migration#openai#replicate#integration
