OpenRouter - TraceRoot

OpenRouter is OpenAI-compatible: use the standard openai SDK with the OpenRouter base URL (https://openrouter.ai/api/v1). TraceRoot captures these calls through the existing OpenAI instrumentation — no new OpenRouter-specific instrumentor or enum is required.

Setup

Python
TypeScript

import os
import openai
import traceroot
from traceroot import Integration

traceroot.initialize(integrations=[Integration.OPENAI])

client = openai.OpenAI(
    api_key=os.environ["OPENROUTER_API_KEY"],
    base_url="https://openrouter.ai/api/v1",
)

import OpenAI from 'openai';
import { TraceRoot } from '@traceroot-ai/traceroot';

TraceRoot.initialize({
  instrumentModules: { openAI: OpenAI },
});

const openai = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.OPENROUTER_API_KEY,
  baseURL: 'https://openrouter.ai/api/v1',
});

Usage

Python
TypeScript

import os
import openai

client = openai.OpenAI(
    api_key=os.environ["OPENROUTER_API_KEY"],
    base_url="https://openrouter.ai/api/v1",
)

# This OpenRouter call is traced by TraceRoot's OpenAI integration
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="openai/gpt-4o-mini",
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "What is the capital of France?"},
    ],
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

import OpenAI from 'openai';

const openai = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.OPENROUTER_API_KEY,
  baseURL: 'https://openrouter.ai/api/v1',
});

// This OpenRouter call is traced by TraceRoot's OpenAI integration
const response = await openai.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'openai/gpt-4o-mini',
  messages: [
    { role: 'system', content: 'You are a helpful assistant.' },
    { role: 'user', content: 'What is the capital of France?' },
  ],
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
