OpenRouter
The unified interface for LLMs. Find the best models & prices for your prompts.
The unified interface for LLMs.
Find the best models & prices for your prompts — through a single, OpenAI-compatible API.
- One API, 400+ models. Route requests to models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Mistral, and many more — without changing your code.
- Better prices & uptime. Automatic fallbacks and price/performance routing across 90+ providers.
- OpenAI-compatible. Drop-in compatible with the OpenAI SDK — just change the base URL and key.
- No lock-in. Compare models, switch instantly, and pay as you go.
TypeScript — @openrouter/sdk
npm add @openrouter/sdkimport { OpenRouter } from "@openrouter/sdk";
const openRouter = new OpenRouter(); // reads OPENROUTER_API_KEY
const result = await openRouter.chat.send({
model: "openai/gpt-5.5",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello, how are you?" }],
provider: { sort: "price" }, // smart routing: cheapest provider first
stream: true,
});
for await (const chunk of result) {
console.log(chunk.choices[0].delta.content);
}Python — openrouter

}Agents — @openrouter/agent · tools are auto-executed, responses streamable
npm add @openrouter/sdk @openrouter/agentimport OpenRouter from "@openrouter/sdk";
import { callModel, tool } from "@openrouter/agent";

const client = new OpenRouter({ apiKey: process.env.OPENROUTER_API_KEY });
const weatherTool = tool({

description: "Get the current weather for a location",
inputSchema: z.object({ location: z.string() }),
execute: async ({ location }) => ({ temperature: 72, condition: "sunny", location }),
});
const result = callModel(client, {
model: "anthropic/claude-fable-5",
input: "What is the weather in San Francisco?",
tools: [weatherTool] as const,
