Migrate fromOpenRouter to AnonRouter

Four steps, and one of them is optional

No call, no migration plan to request. This is the whole procedure.

1. 1

   Create a compatibility-scoped key

   In the dashboard, create an API key with compatibility mode enabled. That is the scope the OpenAI-compatible surface checks, and it is what lets an unmodified OpenAI SDK authenticate. A private account does not need an email address.

   terminal

   # Dashboard -> API keys -> Create key -> enable compatibility
   export ANONROUTER_API_KEY=ar_...

2. 2

   Point the SDK at AnonRouter

   Swap the base URL and the key. Nothing else in the client construction changes, and both official OpenAI SDKs behave identically here.

   javascript

   import OpenAI from "openai";
   
   const client = new OpenAI({
     apiKey: process.env.ANONROUTER_API_KEY,
     baseURL: "https://api.anonrouter.ai/v1"
   });

3. 3

   Check your model ids against the catalog

   Public ids are creator/model slugs on both services, so overlapping models keep the same id. Anything you reach for that we have not added yet returns model_not_found rather than silently routing somewhere else. List what your key can actually call before you cut over.

   terminal

   curl https://api.anonrouter.ai/v1/models \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $ANONROUTER_API_KEY"

4. 4

   Set a privacy floor, if you want one

   This is the part with no OpenRouter equivalent. Routing filters to eligible privacy levels before it selects for capability or cost, and fails closed when nothing qualifies rather than falling back to a weaker route. minimum_privacy is an extension on the provider object you may already be sending.

   json

   {
     "model": "/auto",
     "messages": [{ "role": "user", "content": "Hello" }],
     "provider": {
       "minimum_privacy": "private",
       "allow_fallbacks": true
     }
   }
