# OpenRouter Provider
|
|
|
|
[OpenRouter](https://openrouter.ai) is a unified API that provides access to multiple AI models from different providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, and more) through a single endpoint.
|
|
|
|
## Authentication
|
|
|
|
OpenRouter uses API key authentication. Get your API key from [OpenRouter Settings](https://openrouter.ai/settings/keys).
|
|
|
|
### Environment Variable
|
|
|
|
Set the `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` environment variable:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
export OPENROUTER_API_KEY="sk-or-v1-..."
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Settings
|
|
|
|
You can also configure the API key in CodexBar Settings → Providers → OpenRouter.
|
|
|
|
### CLI config
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
printf '%s' "$OPENROUTER_API_KEY" | codexbar config set-api-key --provider openrouter --stdin
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Data Source
|
|
|
|
The OpenRouter provider fetches usage data from two API endpoints:
|
|
|
|
1. **Credits API** (`/api/v1/credits`): Returns total credits purchased and total usage. The balance is calculated as `total_credits - total_usage`.
|
|
|
|
2. **Key API** (`/api/v1/key`): Returns rate limit information plus current daily, weekly, and monthly spend for your API key.
|
|
|
|
## Display
|
|
|
|
The OpenRouter menu card shows:
|
|
|
|
- **Primary meter**: API key limit usage when the key has a configured limit
|
|
- **Spend notes**: Daily, weekly, and monthly API key spend when OpenRouter returns those fields
|
|
- **Spend chart**: Day/week/month spend can reuse the shared inline dashboard when enough history is available
|
|
- **Balance**: Displayed in the identity section as "Balance: $X.XX"
|
|
|
|
## CLI Usage
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
codexbar --provider openrouter
|
|
codexbar -p or # alias
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Environment Variables
|
|
|
|
| Variable | Description |
|
|
|----------|-------------|
|
|
| `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` | Your OpenRouter API key (required) |
|
|
| `OPENROUTER_API_URL` | Override the base API URL (optional, defaults to `https://openrouter.ai/api/v1`) |
|
|
| `OPENROUTER_HTTP_REFERER` | Optional client referer sent as `HTTP-Referer` header |
|
|
| `OPENROUTER_X_TITLE` | Optional client title sent as `X-Title` header (defaults to `CodexBar`) |
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
- Credit values are cached on OpenRouter's side and may be up to 60 seconds stale
|
|
- OpenRouter uses a credit-based billing system where you pre-purchase credits
|
|
- Rate limits depend on your credit balance (10+ credits = 1000 free model requests/day)
