Hi @pwplucky! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the dify team.

Dify's API is not a drop-in replacement for OpenAI's API, so you can't directly configure Continue to use Dify just by changing the endpoint and API key. Dify uses different endpoint paths and request/response schemas (for example, /v1/chat-messages instead of /v1/chat/completions), so tools like Continue that expect strict OpenAI compatibility won't work out of the box1 .

To make Continue work with Dify, you'd need to build an adapter or proxy that translates OpenAI-style requests from Continue into Dify's API format and maps the responses back. This involves handling endpoint routing, payload transformation, and authentication (Dify uses Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY>)2 .

If you're interested in contributing, a good starting point is to review Dify's API documentation and OpenAPI specs, and look at how Continue sends requests to OpenAI. You'd then implement a small service that sits between Continue and Dify, translating requests and responses as needed.

To reply, just mention @dosu.
