This is a simple API wrapper for OpenRouter.
Example use case
import { OpenRouter } from "openrouter-client";
const OpenRouterClient = new OpenRouter("API KEY HERE");
let nl = await OpenRouterClient.chat([{
role: "system",
content:
"ONLY reply with 'minecraft'. Do not reply with anything else under any circumstances",
}, {
role: "user",
content: [
{ type: "text", text: "Hello World" },
// Images can also be added
// {
// type: "image_url",
// image_url: {
// url: `data:image/png;base64,${base64Image}`
// }
// }
],
}], {
// General configuration goes here
model: "meta-llama/llama3.2-3b-instruct", // Required. This is the name of the model on OpenRouter
temperature: 0.7, // Optional
min_p: 0.05, // Optional
// OpenRouter only configuration option. Read OpenRouter documentation for more information
provider: {
order: [
"DeepInfra",
"Hyperbolic",
],
},
});A global configuration can also be set. Any options set here will be applied to EVERY chat.
import { OpenRouter } from "openrouter-client";
const OpenRouterClient = new OpenRouter("API KEY HERE", {
//global configuration can be set here
model: "meta-llama/llama3.2-3b-instruct",
min_p: 0.05, // Optional
// OpenRouter only configuration option. Read OpenRouter documentation for more information
provider: {
order: [
"DeepInfra",
"Hyperbolic",
],
},
});Retrive information of a chat with getGenerationStats()
import { OpenRouter } from "openrouter-client";
const OpenRouterClient = new OpenRouter("API KEY HERE");
// You get the ID from what `OpenRouterClient.chat()` returns
let nl = await OpenRouterClient.chat([{
role: "user",
content: [
{ type: "text", text: "Hello World" },
],
}], {
model: "meta-llama/llama3.2-3b-instruct",
});
if (nl.success == false) {
console.log(nl.error);
process.exit(0);
}
const gen = OpenRouterClient.getGenerationStats(nl.data.id);
console.log(gen);The streaming version also supports a global configuration.
import { OpenRouterStream } from "openrouter-client";
const OpenRouterClient = new OpenRouterStream("API KEY HERE", {
model: "meta-llama/llama3.2-3b-instruct",
min_p: 0.05,
});There are 2 ways you can stream. The first way is by chunks. Every new "data" message will only contain the token that was generated..
import { OpenRouterStream } from "openrouter-client";
const OpenRouterClient = new OpenRouterStream("API KEY HERE");
OpenRouterClient.on("error", (e) =>gt; {
console.log(`Error: ${e}`);
});
OpenRouterClient.on("end", (data) =>gt; {
console.log("Stream end");
});
OpenRouterClient.on("data", (data) =>gt; {
// Type of the `data` variable
// {
// id: string
// provider: string,
// model: string,
// object: 'chat.completion.chunk',
// created: number,
// choices: [
// { index: 0, delta: { role: "assistant", content: string }, finish_reason: null | string, logprobs: null | number[] }
// ],
// usage?: { prompt_tokens: number, completion_tokens: number, total_tokens: number }
// }
console.log(data);
});
let nl = await OpenRouterClient.chatStreamChunk([{
role: "user",
content: [
{ type: "text", text: "Hello World" },
],
}], {
model: "meta-llama/llama3.2-3b-instruct",
});The second way is the "whole" way. This function passes back the entire object.
So the first message might be { content: "hello" } and the second message might
be { content: "hello world" }. This differs from m chatStreamChunk, which only
sends the new token that was generated instead of the whole object..
import { OpenRouterStream } from "openrouter-client";
const OpenRouterClient = new OpenRouterStream("API KEY HERE");
OpenRouterClient.on("error", (e) =>gt; {
console.log(`Error: ${e}`);
});
OpenRouterClient.on("end", (data) =>gt; {
console.log("Stream end");
});
OpenRouterClient.on("data", (data) =>gt; {
// Type of the `data` variable
// {
// id: string
// provider: string,
// model: string,
// object: 'chat.completion.chunk',
// created: number,
// finish_reason: string,
// choices: { role: "system" | "assistant" | "user", content: string, reasoning: string | null }[],
// usage?: { prompt_tokens: number, completion_tokens: number, total_tokens: number }
// }
console.log(data);
});
let nl = await OpenRouterClient.chatStreamWhole([{
role: "user",
content: [
{ type: "text", text: "Hello World" },
],
}], {
model: "meta-llama/llama3.2-3b-instruct",
});Non-streaming example
import { OpenRouter } from "openrouter-client";
const OpenRouterClient = new OpenRouter("API key here");
let nl = await OpenRouterClient.chat([{
role: "user",
content: [
{ type: "text", text: "Hello World" },
],
}], {
model: "deepseek/deepseek-r1-0528-qwen3-8b",
// Reasoning options can be added here
reasoning: {
enabled: true,
// exclude?: boolean,
// effort?: "high" | "medium" | "low"
// max_tokens?: number
},
});
console.dir(nl);For streaming, just import and use OpenRouterStream instead of OpenRouter.
All the other code stays the samee
