curl

Call AnyRouter's OpenAI-compatible API from the terminal with curl, for quick tests, scripts and CI.

Any curl command that works against OpenAI works here with a new URL and key. Create a key (prefix sk-ar-) in the dashboard and export it:

export ANYROUTER_API_KEY="sk-ar-your-key-here"

Chat request

curl https://anyrouter.dev/api/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ANYROUTER_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "google/gemini-3.5-flash",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
  }'

A 200 with a choices array means it worked. A 401 means $ANYROUTER_API_KEY is missing or does not start with sk-ar-.

For a multi-turn chat, send the full messages array.

Stream

Add "stream": true and --no-buffer to receive server-sent events:

curl https://anyrouter.dev/api/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ANYROUTER_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --no-buffer \
  -d '{"model": "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Count to 10, slowly."}], "stream": true}'
