Example Usage

curl -L -X POST 'http://0.0.0.0:4000/mistral/v1/ocr' \\
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \\
-H 'Authorization: Bearer sk-1234' \\
-d '{
    "model": "mistral-ocr-latest",
    "document": {
        "type": "image_url",
        "image_url": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mistralai/cookbook/refs/heads/main/mistral/ocr/receipt.png"
    }

}'

Supports ALL Mistral Endpoints (including streaming).

Quick Start

Let's call the Mistral /chat/completions endpoint

  1. Add MISTRAL_API_KEY to your environment
  1. Start LiteLLM Proxy
litellm

# RUNNING on http://0.0.0.0:4000
  1. Test it!

Let's call the Mistral /ocr endpoint

curl -L -X POST 'http://0.0.0.0:4000/mistral/v1/ocr' \\
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \\
-H 'Authorization: Bearer sk-1234' \\
-d '{
    "model": "mistral-ocr-latest",
    "document": {
        "type": "image_url",
        "image_url": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mistralai/cookbook/refs/heads/main/mistral/ocr/receipt.png"
    }

}'

Examples

Anything after http://0.0.0.0:4000/mistral is treated as a provider-specific route, and handled accordingly.

Key Changes:

Original EndpointReplace With
https://api.mistral.ai/v1http://0.0.0.0:4000/mistral (LITELLM_PROXY_BASE_URL="http://0.0.0.0:4000")
bearer $MISTRAL_API_KEYbearer anything (use bearer LITELLM_VIRTUAL_KEY if Virtual Keys are setup on proxy)

Example 1: OCR endpoint

        "image_url": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mistralai/cookbook/refs/heads/main/mistral/ocr/receipt.png"
    }
}'

        "document_url": "https://arxiv.org/pdf/2201.04234"
    },
    "include_image_base64": true
  }'

Advanced - Use with Virtual Keys

Pre-requisites

Use this, to avoid giving developers the raw Mistral API key, but still letting them use Mistral endpoints.

Usage

  1. Setup environment
litellm

# RUNNING on http://0.0.0.0:4000
  1. Generate virtual key
curl -X POST 'http://0.0.0.0:4000/key/generate' \\
-H 'Authorization: Bearer sk-1234' \\
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \\
-d '{}'

Expected Response
