Sample code and API for Command R (08-2024)

OpenRouter normalizes requests and responses across providers for you.

OpenRouter provides an OpenAI-compatible completion API to 300+ 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.
