OpenRouter

Portkey provides a robust and secure gateway to facilitate the integration of various Large Language Models (LLMs) into your applications, including OpenRouter.

With Portkey, you can take advantage of features like fast AI gateway access, observability, prompt management, and more, all while ensuring the secure management of your LLM API keys through a virtual key system.

Portkey SDK Integration with OpenRouter Models

Portkey provides a consistent API to interact with models from various providers. To integrate OpenRouter with Portkey:

​

1. Install the Portkey SDK

Add the Portkey SDK to your application to interact with OpenRouter AI’s API through Portkey’s gateway.

• NodeJS
• Python

npm install --save portkey-ai

​

2. Initialize Portkey with the Virtual Key

To use OpenRouter with Portkey, get your API key from here, then add it to Portkey to create the virtual key.

• NodeJS SDK
• Python SDK

import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

const portkey = new Portkey({
    apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY", // defaults to process.env["PORTKEY_API_KEY"]
    virtualKey: "VIRTUAL_KEY" // Your OpenRouter Virtual Key
})

​

3. Invoke Chat Completions with OpenRouter

Use the Portkey instance to send requests to OpenRouter. You can also override the virtual key directly in the API call if needed.

• NodeJS SDK
• Python SDK

const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
    messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Say this is a test' }],
    model: 'openai/gpt-4o-2024-08-06',
});

console.log(chatCompletion.choices);
