FAQ

Questions about the Chat to API JSON

What is the messages format in chat completion APIs?

It is an ordered list of objects, each with a role (system, user or assistant) and content. The model reads the whole list to produce the next assistant turn.

How do I add multi-line messages?

Start a turn with user: or assistant:, and any following line without a role prefix is appended to that same message.

Is the output the same for every provider?

The role and content shape matches OpenAI-style chat APIs. Some providers take the system prompt as a separate field, so move it if your API asks for that.

Is the Chat to API JSON free and private?

Yes. It is free, needs no sign-up and runs entirely in your browser, so what you type is not uploaded. You only sign in if you want to email a result to yourself or save it to your CareerByteCode profile.
