Check the connection

Run this after saving. A reply confirms the base URL, key, and model together.

Terminal

# bash / zsh: enter the full key at the hidden prompt
printf 'MiniRouter API key: '
read -rs MINIROUTER_KEY
export MINIROUTER_KEY
printf '\n'
curl https://api.minirouter.sh/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MINIROUTER_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"meta/llama-3.3-70b","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"ping"}]}'

SDK examples

Calling from code instead? The base URL stays the same.

Vercel AI SDK

import { createOpenAICompatible } from "@ai-sdk/openai-compatible";
import { generateText } from "ai";

const minirouter = createOpenAICompatible({
  name: "minirouter",
  apiKey: process.env.MINIROUTER_KEY,
  baseURL: "https://api.minirouter.sh/v1",
});

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: minirouter("meta/llama-3.3-70b"),
  prompt: "ping",
});
console.log(text);
