openrouter-models

You can compare OpenRouter models by fetching live model data to evaluate pricing, context lengths, and modalities. The tool retrieves up-to-date metadata, enabling direct comparison of available models for your specific cost and context requirements.

Yes, you can resolve informal model names to exact IDs. This functionality maps common names to the precise identifiers required for reliable scripting and automation within the OpenRouter ecosystem.

You need an OPENROUTER_API_KEY to access provider performance endpoints. Basic model discovery and fetching general metadata like pricing and context lengths do not require this key.

The best way to filter models by modality and category is to fetch the live model data stream. This provides structured outputs containing capabilities and categories, allowing you to narrow down models for downstream analytics.

Querying provider performance works by requesting live data through specific endpoints. It requires an OPENROUTER_API_KEY to authenticate and retrieve throughput and latency metrics for different providers serving the models.
