a4f-local

a4f-local

A unified, professional Python wrapper for various reverse-engineered AI provider APIs, designed to be OpenAI-compatible and easy to use.

Key Features

• Unified API: Call multiple unofficial AI providers with a single, OpenAI-like interface.
• Modular: Easily extend with new providers and capabilities.
• Supports Text-to-Speech (TTS): Initial implementation includes OpenAI.fm reverse-engineered TTS.
• OpenAI-Compatible: Accepts and returns data in the same format as OpenAI's official API.
• Simple to Use: Designed for developers of all skill levels.

Installation

Install directly from PyPI:

pip install -U a4f-local

Usage Example

from a4f_local import A4F

client = A4F()

try:
    audio_bytes = client.audio.speech.create(
        model="tts-1",  # Model name (currently informational)
        input="Hello from a4f-local!",
        voice="alloy"   # Choose a supported voice
    )
    with open("output.mp3", "wb") as f:
        f.write(audio_bytes)
    print("Generated output.mp3")
except Exception as e:
    print(f"An error occurred: {e}")

Supported Voices

The following voice names are supported (mapped to OpenAI's official voices):

• alloy
• echo
• fable
• onyx
• nova
• shimmer

Use one of these as the voice parameter in your TTS requests.

How It Works

• You interact with the A4F client just like OpenAI's Python SDK.
• The client automatically discovers available providers and their capabilities.
• When you call a method (e.g., client.audio.speech.create()), it routes the request to the appropriate provider.
• The provider translates the OpenAI-compatible request into its own API format, calls the API, and translates the response back.

Roadmap

• More Providers: Support for chat, image generation, and other AI capabilities.
• Configuration: Easier ways to configure API keys and provider preferences.
• Async Support: Async versions of API calls.
• Better Error Handling: More informative error messages and exceptions.
