- get_rankings_daily - Daily token totals for top 50 models
get_app_rankings
Returns the top public apps on OpenRouter ranked by token usage inside the requested date window, matching the public apps marketplace on openrouter.ai/apps. Token totals areprompt_tokens + completion_tokens; hidden and private apps are excluded and
traffic from related app aliases is merged into the canonical visible app.
sort=popular (default) ranks by total token volume inside the window.
sort=trending ranks by absolute excess token growth: window volume minus the average
volume of the three equal-length periods immediately preceding the window. Apps with
no excess growth are omitted, so trending may return fewer than limit rows.
Filter with category (marketplace category group, e.g. coding) or subcategory
(e.g. cli-agent). Ranks are re-numbered 1..N after filtering. Page with offset —
rank stays absolute, so the first row of offset=50 is rank: 51.
Authenticate with any valid OpenRouter API key (same key used for inference).
Rate-limited to 30 requests/minute per key and 500 requests/day per account.
When republishing or quoting this dataset, OpenRouter must be cited as:
“Source: OpenRouter (openrouter.ai/apps), as of {as_of}.”
Token counts come from each upstream provider’s own tokenizer, so a token attributed
to one app is not directly comparable to a token attributed to another app whose
traffic flows through a different provider.
Example Usage
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
http_referer | Optional[str] | :heavy_minus_sign: | The app identifier should be your app’s URL and is used as the primary identifier for rankings. This is used to track API usage per application. | |
x_open_router_title | Optional[str] | :heavy_minus_sign: | The app display name allows you to customize how your app appears in OpenRouter’s dashboard. | |
x_open_router_categories | Optional[str] | :heavy_minus_sign: | Comma-separated list of app categories (e.g. “cli-agent,cloud-agent”). Used for marketplace rankings. | |
category | Optional[operations.GetAppRankingsCategory] | :heavy_minus_sign: | Marketplace category group to filter by (e.g. coding). Only apps tagged with a subcategory inside this group are returned. Mutually combinable with subcategory — when both are supplied the subcategory must belong to the category group. | coding |
subcategory | Optional[operations.Subcategory] | :heavy_minus_sign: | Marketplace subcategory to filter by (e.g. cli-agent). Takes precedence over category for the actual filter; when category is also supplied the pair must be consistent. | cli-agent |
sort | Optional[operations.GetAppRankingsSort] | :heavy_minus_sign: | popular ranks apps by total token volume inside the date window. trending ranks apps by absolute excess token growth: window volume minus the average volume of the three equal-length periods immediately preceding the window. Apps with no excess growth are omitted from trending results. | popular |
start_date | Optional[str] | :heavy_minus_sign: | Start of the date window in YYYY-MM-DD (UTC), inclusive. Defaults to 30 days before end_date. The dataset begins at 2025-01-01; earlier values are clamped forward to that floor and the resolved value is echoed in meta.start_date. | 2026-04-12 |
end_date | Optional[str] | :heavy_minus_sign: | End of the date window in YYYY-MM-DD (UTC), inclusive. Defaults to the most recent completed UTC day. Must be on or after 2025-01-01; earlier values are rejected with a 400. | 2026-05-11 |
limit | Optional[int] | :heavy_minus_sign: | Maximum number of apps to return (1-100). Defaults to 50. | 50 |
offset | Optional[int] | :heavy_minus_sign: | Number of ranked apps to skip before the first returned row (0-100). Defaults to 0. rank stays absolute, so the first row of offset=50 is rank: 51. | 0 |
retries | Optional[utils.RetryConfig] | :heavy_minus_sign: | Configuration to override the default retry behavior of the client. |

get_rankings_daily
Returns the top 50 public models per day by total token usage on OpenRouter, plus a single aggregatedother row per day that sums every model outside that top 50.
Token totals are prompt_tokens + completion_tokens, matching the public rankings
chart on openrouter.ai/rankings.
Each row is a distinct (date, model_permaslug) pair. The other row uses the
reserved permaslug other and is always returned last within its date, so callers
can compute top-50 traffic / total daily traffic without a second request.
Authenticate with any valid OpenRouter API key (same key used for inference).
Rate-limited to 30 requests/minute per key and 500 requests/day per account.
When republishing or quoting this dataset, OpenRouter must be cited as:
“Source: OpenRouter (openrouter.ai/rankings), as of {as_of}.”
Token counts come from each upstream provider’s own tokenizer (Anthropic counts
are as reported by Anthropic, OpenAI counts are as reported by OpenAI, etc.), so
a token in one row is not directly comparable to a token in another row from a
different provider.
