OpenAI SDK Integration

RouteAPI supports OpenAI-compatible calls. Most OpenAI SDKs that support a custom baseURL can connect directly.

Node.js

npm install openai

import OpenAI from 'openai';

const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.ROUTEAPI_KEY,
  baseURL: 'https://www.routeapi.ai/v1',
});

const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'gpt-4o',
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello RouteAPI' }],
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);

Python

pip install openai

from openai import OpenAI
import os

client = OpenAI(
    api_key=os.environ["ROUTEAPI_KEY"],
    base_url="https://www.routeapi.ai/v1",
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4o",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello RouteAPI"}],
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

Notes

• baseURL must point to RouteAPI /v1.
• Use a model ID available in the RouteAPI console.
• If an SDK does not support an advanced parameter, verify the API itself with cURL first.
