  -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

    "messages": [{ "role": "user", "content": "Hello!" }],
    "stream": false
  }'

Response

Chat models (GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek…) use the OpenAI Chat Completions format, so the official OpenAI SDKs work with base URL https://01router.com/api/v1. Set "stream": true for server-sent events. Credits for the prompt plus max_tokens (4,096 when unset) are held first, then settled to the real token usage once the reply ends; the same request id appears in the X-Gateway-Request-Id header and the task log.
