This guide shows how to integrate with LLMTrace using raw HTTP requests via curl. Perfect for testing, debugging, or integrating with languages/frameworks not covered by official SDKs.
LLMTrace acts as a transparent proxy for OpenAI-compatible APIs. Simply replace the OpenAI API URL with your LLMTrace proxy URL.
# OpenAI API (original)
curl https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions
# LLMTrace proxy (just change the host!)
