Drop-in replacement for OpenAI - same API, 98% less cost.

## Installation

```bash
npm install afsapi-client
```

## Quick Start

### As OpenAI Replacement (Zero Code Changes)

```javascript
// Before (expensive)
const { OpenAI } = require('openai');
const openai = new OpenAI({ apiKey: 'sk-...' });

// After (98% cheaper)
const { OpenAI } = require('afsapi-client');
const openai = new OpenAI({ apiKey: 'afs-...' });

// Same code works!
const completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'gpt-3.5-turbo',
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello!' }]
});
```

### Using AFSAPI Client Directly

```javascript
const { AFSAPIClient } = require('afsapi-client');

const client = new AFSAPIClient({
  apiKey: 'your-api-key' // Get one at https://afsapi.ai
});

// Simple chat
const response = await client.chat('What is 2+2?');
console.log(response); // "4"

// Full control
const completion = await client.createChatCompletion([
  { role: 'system', content: 'You are a helpful assistant.' },
  { role: 'user', content: 'Explain quantum computing.' }
], {
  model: 'gpt-4',
  temperature: 0.7,
  max_tokens: 500
});
```
