Continue sends HTTP-Referer, X-OpenRouter-Title, and X-OpenRouter-Categories on every OpenRouter request (added in continuedev#11857 and continuedev#11991) so traffic shows up under Continue in the OpenRouter dashboard and App Showcase. That was undocumented; this adds an 'App Identification Headers' section to the OpenRouter provider page with the exact header values, a link to OpenRouter's header docs, and a short example showing how to override via requestOptions.headers for users routing traffic through their own app. Values matched against packages/openai-adapters/src/apis/OpenRouter.ts. Fixes continuedev#12215

What changed
Adds an "App Identification Headers" section to
docs/customize/model-providers/top-level/openrouter.mdxcovering the three OpenRouter headers Continue now sends on every request:HTTP-Referer: https://www.continue.dev/X-OpenRouter-Title: ContinueX-OpenRouter-Categories: ide-extensionValues taken directly from
packages/openai-adapters/src/apis/OpenRouter.ts(theOPENROUTER_HEADERSconstant added in #11857 and extended in #11991), so the docs match the shipped code rather than inventing anything.Also documents that
requestOptions.headerstakes precedence (the spread order{...OPENROUTER_HEADERS, ...config.requestOptions?.headers}inOpenRouterApi), with a short example for users who want their own traffic attributed to a different app.Links to OpenRouter's header docs per the issue's suggestion.
Verification
grep -n "HTTP-Referer\|X-OpenRouter-Title\|X-OpenRouter-Categories" packages/openai-adapters/src/apis/OpenRouter.ts(lines 14–16).OpenRouterApiconstructor spreadsOPENROUTER_HEADERSbeforeconfig.requestOptions?.headers, so user-provided values win — matches what the issue body requested.Summary by cubic
Add an “App Identification Headers” section to the OpenRouter docs that lists the default headers Continue sends:
HTTP-Referer,X-OpenRouter-Title, andX-OpenRouter-Categories. Shows how to override them viarequestOptions.headers, aligns the docs with shipped code, and links to OpenRouter’s header docs (Fixes #12215).Written for commit 8077f4b. Summary will update on new commits.
