Billing principles: Pay only for billable usage from a completed request. A failed request with no billable usage is not charged; when a configured fallback completes the request, that usage is billed at the selected model's displayed RouteAPI rate.
Three-line integration
Keep your OpenAI client. Change the base URL.
RouteAPI uses an OpenAI-compatible interface, so most integrations can keep the existing SDK and update the API key and base URL.
Supported API features may vary by model and upstream provider.
Gateway availability is measured monthly across supported regions. Scheduled maintenance, upstream provider outages, force majeure and customer-side errors are excluded. Eligible customers can request service credits under the SLA terms.
How are prices calculated?
Cards use the live pricing catalog returned by the same endpoint as the pricing page. Input, output and cache rates are shown separately; your bill follows token usage.
