What the Openrouter connector can do
OpenRouter is a platform that provides a unified API for accessing various large language models (LLMs) from different providers, allowing developers to integrate multiple AI models seamlessly.
One connection, many Spaces
Connect Openrouter once, then decide which Spaces can use it in threads, skills, automations, and coding work.
Representative actions
- Create Chat Completion
Tool to generate a chat-style completion. Use after assembling messages and selecting a model. Supports streaming and function calls. Response format varies across models; use explicit prompt instructions to standardize output. Provider-level rate limits and moderation policies differ per model.
- Create Coinbase Charge
Tool to create a Coinbase charge for crypto payment to add credits to your OpenRouter account. Use when you need to purchase credits using cryptocurrency. Returns calldata needed to fulfill the transaction on the specified blockchain.
- Create Message (Anthropic Format)
Tool to create a message using Anthropic Messages API format via OpenRouter. Use when you need Claude-compatible chat completion with support for text, images, PDFs, tools, and extended thinking.
- Get Credits
Tool to get the current API credit balance for the authenticated user. Use before large or batch jobs to verify sufficient balance. A successful response may return total_credits=0, which confirms authentication but will cause all paid model generations to fail. Avoid polling this endpoint; call only as needed.
- Get Current Key
Tool to get information about the currently authenticated API key. Use to check usage limits, spending, and key metadata.
Connection
API and auth details
OpenRouter provides a unified OpenAI-compatible API for accessing models from many AI providers. Integrations can route chat/completion requests, choose models, use streaming, tool calling, structured outputs, rankings, usage accounting, and provider routing policies through bearer-token API keys.
