--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?"
}
]
}'
