This guide provides a comprehensive quickstart for integrating with OpenRouter, a unified endpoint for accessing multiple large language models (LLMs). It includes examples in cURL, Python, and TypeScript, demonstrating how to send chat completion requests, handle complex JSON responses, manage model parameters, and calculate usage cost across various providers (e.g., Llama, GPT-4o, Claude). Ideal for developers testing API connectivity or building multi-model applications.

A comprehensive guide detailing common real-world mistakes and pitfalls when integrating with the OpenRouter API. Covers critical best practices for robust LLM deployment, including correct model ID formatting, cost control via max_tokens, secure API key management, handling rate limits, and optimizing client connection reuse. Essential for developers building multi-provider AI applications.

This skill guides developers on migrating their codebase from direct OpenAI API calls to using OpenRouter. By making minimal changes—primarily updating the base URL and API key—users gain access to over 400 models from multiple providers (including Anthropic and Google) through a unified SDK interface, ensuring high compatibility and flexible model switching.

This skill provides comprehensive guides on implementing real-time streaming responses using OpenRouter's Server-Sent Events (SSE) capability. It covers various languages (Python, TypeScript, FastAPI, JavaScript), enabling developers to build modern, fast-feeling chat interfaces. By streaming tokens as they are generated, it significantly reduces the time-to-first-token (TTFT) and improves user experience for long completions and chat applications.

This comprehensive guide provides developers with step-by-step instructions for migrating applications from direct calls to proprietary Large Language Model (LLM) APIs (such as OpenAI or Anthropic) to utilizing the unified OpenRouter gateway. It details essential code changes, including updating base URLs, managing API keys, adding custom headers, and correctly prefixing model identifiers. This ensures a seamless transition, enabling multi-model compatibility and simplified API management.

A comprehensive workflow bundle designed for system administrators and developers. It guides users through the entire lifecycle of system management and shell scripting across Linux, macOS, and Windows. Key phases include environment assessment, writing robust Bash scripts, advanced debugging techniques, linting with ShellCheck, and rigorous test automation using Bats, ensuring scalable and reliable automation.

This guide provides comprehensive principles for modern game development, covering engine selection (Unity, Unreal, Godot), platform integration (Steam features, console compliance), input abstraction, and performance optimization techniques. It helps developers make informed decisions when building cross-platform games for PC and console environments.

A comprehensive guide to implementing Perplexity's API integration at various scales. It provides three validated architectural blueprints—Direct Widget, Cached Research Layer, and Multi-Query Pipeline—allowing developers to choose the optimal structure based on required query volume, latency goals, and complexity. Learn how to scale from simple search widgets to automated, high-volume research pipelines.

This guide provides advanced strategies for developers to significantly reduce Perplexity Sonar API billing costs. It covers key techniques including model routing (selecting the right model by query type), setting maximum output tokens, implementing robust query caching, and utilizing domain filters to minimize per-request charges. Essential for building cost-effective, high-volume AI applications.

This guide provides comprehensive instructions for installing and configuring the Perplexity Sonar API authentication. It details setting up the necessary environment variables and using the standard OpenAI client library (for both Node.js and Python) to connect to Perplexity's API endpoint. Learning this process is essential for developers starting a new Perplexity integration, setting up API keys, or verifying API connectivity.

A comprehensive guide to identifying and avoiding common integration mistakes and anti-patterns when using the Perplexity Sonar API. It covers critical best practices such as correctly handling citations, setting maximum token limits, utilizing recency filters, and optimizing API calls to ensure cost efficiency and data accuracy. Essential for code review and developer onboarding.

This guide provides advanced architectural patterns to optimize interactions with the Perplexity Sonar API. By implementing smart model routing, query hashing with time-to-live (TTL) caching, streaming responses, and rate-limited parallel processing, developers can significantly reduce latency, improve overall throughput, and manage API costs. Ideal for integrating complex, research-intensive search-augmented applications.
