Example:

curl --location --request POST 'https://wisdom-gate.juheapi.com/v1/chat/completions' \
--header 'Authorization: YOUR_API_KEY' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Accept: */*' \
--header 'Host: wisdom-gate.juheapi.com' \
--header 'Connection: keep-alive' \
--data-raw '{
    "model":"wisdom-ai-claude-sonnet-4",
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Hello, how can you help me today?"
      }
    ]
}'
