OpenRouter Proxy This Apify Actor creates a proxy for the Open Router API, allowing you to access multiple AI models through a unified OpenAI-compatible interface. All requests are charged to your Apify account on a pay-per-event basis. ## What this Actor does - Proxy access: Routes your API requests to Open Router's extensive collection of AI models - OpenAI compatibility: Works seamlessly with the OpenAI SDK and any OpenAI-compatible client - Transparent billing: Charges are applied to your Apify account at the same rates as Open Router - Full feature support: Supports both streaming and non-streaming responses - No API key management: Uses your Apify token for authentication - no need to manage separate Open Router API keys - Standby mode: Actor runs in standby mode only and has a static URL address, like a standard web server. ## Pricing This Actor uses a pay-per-event pricing model through Apify. Each API request counts as one event, and no additional fees are applied beyond the standard Apify event pricing. ## Quick start ### 1. Install the OpenAI package bash npm install openai ### 2. Basic usage javascript import OpenAI from 'openai'; const openai = new OpenAI({ baseURL: 'https://openrouter.apify.actor/api/v1', apiKey: 'no-key-required-but-must-not-be-empty', // Any non-empty string works; do NOT use a real API key. defaultHeaders: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.APIFY_TOKEN}`, // Apify token is loaded automatically in runtime }, }); async function main() { const completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({ model: 'openrouter/auto', messages: [ { role: 'user', content: 'What is the meaning of life?', }, ], }); console.log(completion.choices[0].message); } await main(); ### 3. Streaming responses javascript const stream = await openai.chat.completions.create({ model: 'openrouter/auto', messages: [ { role: 'user', content: 'Write a short story about a robot.', }, ], stream: true, }); for await (const chunk of stream) { process.stdout.write(chunk.choices[0]?.delta?.content || ''); } ### 4. Image generation with vision models OpenRouter supports image generation through models with vision and image generation capabilities. Use the chat completions API with the modalities parameter: javascript const response = await openai.chat.completions.create({ model: 'google/gemini-2.5-flash-image', // Vision-capable model messages: [ { role: 'user', content: 'Generate an image of a cute baby sea otter', }, ], modalities: ['text', 'image'], // Enable image generation }); // Access generated image from response console.log(response.choices[0].message); Note: OpenRouter doesn't support the traditional /images/generations endpoint. Image generation is done through compatible models using the chat completions API. Check available models with image capabilities on OpenRouter's models page. ## Available models This proxy supports all models available through Open Router from providers, including: - OpenAI - Anthropic - Google - Meta - Perplexity - And many more... For a complete list of available models, visit Open Router's models page. ## Authentication The Actor uses your Apify token for authentication. In Apify Actor environments, APIFY_TOKEN is automatically available. For local development, you can: 1. Set the environment variable: export APIFY_TOKEN=your_token_here 2. Or pass it directly in the Authorization header 3. Find your token in the Apify Console ## Support For issues related to this Actor, please contact the Actor developer.
