// Before Lava - Complex billing setup
const response = await fetch('https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY}`
},
body: JSON.stringify({
model: 'gpt-4',
messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello!' }]
});
// Manual usage tracking
await trackUsage(userId, {
provider: 'openai',
model: 'gpt-4',
tokens: response.usage.total_tokens,
cost: calculateCost(response.usage.total_tokens)
});
// Manual billing
await createInvoiceItem(userId, cost);How API Proxying Works
