List available models by calling the public GET /api/models catalog endpoint. Use the returned model IDs for API requests, then confirm capability and pricing details in the model directory.

​
Call the model catalog

The following request lists available models: 
curl https://api.cometapi.com/api/models
The response contains model records: 
{
  "success": true,
  "page": 0,
  "page_size": 0,
  "total": 301,
  "data": [
    {
      "id": "gpt-image-2",
      "provider": "OpenAI",
      "model_type": "image",
      "features": [
        "text-to-image"
      ],
      "pricing": {
        "currency": "USD / M Tokens",
        "input": 4,
        "output": 24,
        "per_request": null,
        "per_second": null
      },
      "api_doc_url": "https://apidoc.cometapi.com/api/image/openai/images"
    }
  ]
}

Python model list

The following Python example prints model IDs from the catalog: 
import requests

response = requests.get("https://api.cometapi.com/api/models", timeout=30)
response.raise_for_status()

models = response.json()["data"]
for model in models:
    print(model["id"])
The output is a list of model IDs: 
your-model-id
another-model-id

​
Use a model ID

The following example sends a request with one model ID from the catalog: 
curl https://api.cometapi.com/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $COMETAPI_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "your-model-id",
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Say hello."
      }
    ]
  }'
The response uses the selected model ID: 
{
  "model": "your-model-id",
  "choices": [
    {
      "message": {
        "role": "assistant",
        "content": "Hello."
      }
    }
  ]
}

Common errors

ErrorFix
Treating the catalog as pricing dataUse the model directory for pricing and capability details.
Reusing stale model IDsFetch the catalog during deployment or startup.
Confusing /api/models and /v1/modelsUse /api/models for the public catalog. Use authenticated /v1/models only when you need the OpenAI-compatible model-list shape.
Wrong endpoint for the model typeMatch the model capability to the API reference page.
