# Openai Proxy Route

`DELETE /openai/{endpoint}`

Pass-through endpoint for OpenAI API calls.

Available on both routes:
- /openai/{endpoint:path} - Standard OpenAI passthrough route
- /openai_passthrough/{endpoint:path} - Dedicated passthrough route (recommended for Responses API)

Use /openai_passthrough/* when you need guaranteed passthrough to OpenAI without conflicts
with LiteLLM's native implementations (e.g., for the Responses API at /v1/responses).

Examples:
    Standard route:
    - /openai/v1/chat/completions
    - /openai/v1/assistants
    - /openai/v1/threads

    Dedicated passthrough (for Responses API):
    - /openai_passthrough/v1/responses
    - /openai_passthrough/v1/responses/{response_id}
    - /openai_passthrough/v1/responses/{response_id}/input_items
