1. Get Your API Key

Go to routeway.ai and log in.

Open the API Keys section.
Click Create API Key.
Copy your key and keep it secure (e.g. .env or secrets manager).

Windows (Current Shell Only)

export Routeway_API_KEY="your_key_here"

setx Routeway_API_KEY "your_key_here"

set Routeway_API_KEY="your_key_here"

Install the OpenAI SDK:

pip install openai

Then use it:

import os
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.routeway.ai/v1",
    api_key=os.getenv("Routeway_API_KEY")
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4o-mini",
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "Write a short story about a robot and a cat."}
    ]
)

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

curl https://api.routeway.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $Routeway_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gpt-4o-mini",
    "messages": [
      {"role": "user", "content": "Write a short story about a robot and a cat"}
    ]
  }'

npm i axios

const axios = require('axios')

const apiKey = 'your_routeway_api_key'
const url = 'https://api.routeway.ai/v1/chat/completions'

const data = {
	model: 'gpt-4o',
	messages: [
		{
			role: 'user',
			content: 'Say this is a test!',
		},
	],
}

const headers = {
	'Content-Type': 'application/json',
	Authorization: `Bearer ${apiKey}`,
}

axios
	.post(url, data, { headers })
	.then(response => {
		console.log(response.data)
	})
	.catch(error => {
		console.error('Error:', error)
	})
