Overview - Routeway Docs

The Routeway API is fully OpenAI-compatible. Any SDK or tool that works against api.openai.com works against api.routeway.ai with only a base URL and key change.

All requests must include an Authorization: Bearer <key> header. Obtain your key from the Dashboard.

Base URL: https://api.routeway.ai

Authentication

All endpoints (except a public status check) require a bearer token:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ROUTEWAY_API_KEY

Keys can be scoped and rate-limited — see Authentication for details.

OpenAI Compatibility

Drop in your existing OpenAI SDK code by changing two values:

Python
Node.js

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.routeway.ai/v1",  # changed
    api_key="YOUR_ROUTEWAY_API_KEY",         # changed
)

import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  baseURL: "https://api.routeway.ai/v1",  // changed
  apiKey: process.env.ROUTEWAY_API_KEY,   // changed
});

Everything else — request shapes, response objects, streaming, tool calls, structured outputs — stays identical.
