Sample code and API for Llama 3.2 3B Instruct

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-3.2-3b-instruct",
    messages: [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "What is the meaning of life?"
      }
    ]
  })

  console.log(completion.choices[0].message)
}
main()

Using the OpenRouter API directly

fetch("https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/chat/completions", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": `Bearer ${OPENROUTER_API_KEY}`,
    "HTTP-Referer": `${YOUR_SITE_URL}`, // Optional, for including your app on openrouter.ai rankings.
    "X-Title": `${YOUR_SITE_NAME}`, // Optional. Shows in rankings on openrouter.ai.
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "model": "meta-llama/llama-3.2-3b-instruct",
    "messages": [
