OpenAI Node.js SDK with AI ROUTER

This example shows how to use the OpenAI Node.js SDK with AI ROUTER's OpenAI-compatible ChatGPT API relay endpoint.

Endpoint:

https://api.ai-router.dev/v1

Install

npm install openai

Set environment variable

export AI_ROUTER_API_KEY="replace_with_your_api_key"
export AI_ROUTER_MODEL="model_id_from_your_dashboard_or_models_response"

Node.js example

import OpenAI from "openai";

if (!process.env.AI_ROUTER_API_KEY || !process.env.AI_ROUTER_MODEL) {
  throw new Error("Set AI_ROUTER_API_KEY and AI_ROUTER_MODEL before running this example.");
}

const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.AI_ROUTER_API_KEY,
  baseURL: "https://api.ai-router.dev/v1",
});

const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: process.env.AI_ROUTER_MODEL,
  messages: [
    { role: "user", content: "Say hello from AI ROUTER." },
  ],
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);

Use a model ID returned by authenticated GET /v1/models or shown in your AI ROUTER dashboard.
