Quickstart

Make a first request in under a minute with the SDK you already have.

Create a key in the console, then point any OpenAI-compatible client at the base URL. Nothing else about your code needs to change.

Base URL

Base URL
https://your-instance.com/v1

Your first request

curl https://your-instance.com/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLAWROUTER_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "claude-sonnet-5",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]
  }'

Choosing a model

The model field takes any name this instance serves. Ask the API what those are rather than hard-coding a list, because the catalogue changes as providers ship and retire models.
