Getting started

Create an account, generate a key, and send your first request.

By the end: You have a working API key and a successful response from a model.

Before you start

An account on this site
A balance or a redeemed credit code

RouteForge is one endpoint for many models. You hold a single API key; the gateway picks the right upstream service for whatever model you name, so switching from a Claude model to a GPT model to a Gemini model is a one-word change in your request body.

By the end of this page you will have a key and a successful response.

1. Create an account

Sign up, then open the verification link we email you. If you have a credit code, redeem it from the dashboard once you are signed in.

2. Generate a key

Open API keys, name the key, and create it. The full value is shown once — copy it into your secret store immediately. Keys start with sk_live_.

Never put an API key in browser code, a public repository, or a client-side bundle. Keys are server-side secrets; a leaked key can spend your balance.

3. Pick a model

Call GET /v1/models or browse the models page. Use the identifier exactly as returned; model names are case-sensitive.

List models

curl https://www.ary4n73.com/v1/models \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ROUTEFORGE_API_KEY"

4. Send a request

Chat completion

curl https://www.ary4n73.com/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ROUTEFORGE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "MODEL_ID",
    "messages": [{ "role": "user", "content": "Say hello" }]
  }'

Next: your first request explains every field, and the API reference lists all routes.
