OpenAI SDK

OdiRouter’s LLM API is OpenAI-compatible. Existing OpenAI SDK clients can call OdiRouter by setting the API key and Base URL.

Requirements

Requirement	Value
Python package	openai
Node.js package	openai
Base URL	https://www.odirouter.ai/v1
API Key	OdiRouter API key
Model	An OdiRouter LLM model ID

Install

pip install openai
npm install openai

Python

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://www.odirouter.ai/v1",
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-5.5",
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "Reply with a one-line integration test."}
    ],
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

Node.js

import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.ODIROUTER_API_KEY,
  baseURL: "https://www.odirouter.ai/v1",
});

const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "gpt-5.5",
  messages: [
    { role: "user", content: "Reply with a one-line integration test." },
  ],
});

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

Streaming

const stream = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "gpt-5.5",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Stream three short bullets." }],
  stream: true,
});

for await (const chunk of stream) {
  process.stdout.write(chunk.choices[0]?.delta?.content ?? "");
}

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Fix
SDK calls OpenAI instead of OdiRouter	Confirm base_url or baseURL is set to https://www.odirouter.ai/v1
401 or invalid key	Use an OdiRouter API key
Model not found	Use a model returned by GET https://www.odirouter.ai/v1/models
Browser build exposes key	Move the SDK call to a server route or backend process
