Introduction

What RouterPlex is and how it fits into your stack.

Follow updates

RouterPlex is a multi-model API with both OpenAI-compatible and Anthropic-compatible request formats. One key, one balance — every model we serve, from GPT and Claude to Gemini, DeepSeek, Kimi and Qwen.

OpenAI base URL: https://api.routerplex.com/v1

>

Anthropic base URL: https://api.routerplex.com — the Anthropic SDK appends /v1/messages.

How it works #

  1. You create an API key in the dashboard.
  2. You point any OpenAI-compatible SDK, IDE, or agent at https://api.routerplex.com/v1.
  3. You pick a model by its ID (for example gpt-5.5, claude-opus-4-8, gemini-3.1-pro) — same request shape for all of them.
  4. Every request deducts its exact token cost from your prepaid balance. No subscription required.
