Sample code and API for Llama 3.2 1B Instruct (free)

OpenRouter normalizes requests and responses across providers for you.

OpenRouter provides an OpenAI-compatible completion API to 0 models & providers that you can call directly, or using the OpenAI SDK. Additionally, some third-party SDKs are available.

In the examples below, the OpenRouter-specific headers are optional. Setting them allows your app to appear on the OpenRouter leaderboards.

Using the OpenAI SDK

import OpenAI from "openai"

const openai = new OpenAI({
  baseURL: "https://openrouter.ai/api/v1",
  apiKey: $OPENROUTER_API_KEY,
  defaultHeaders: {
    "HTTP-Referer": $YOUR_SITE_URL, // Optional, for including your app on openrouter.ai rankings.
    "X-Title": $YOUR_APP_NAME, // Optional. Shows in rankings on openrouter.ai.
  }
})

async function main() {
  const completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({
    model: "meta-llama/llama-3.2-1b-instruct:free",
    messages: [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "What is the meaning of life?"
      }
    ]

    "Content-Type": "application/json"
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
