1. Create an Account

Visit AppleRouter Console to sign up.

2. Get Your API Key

After logging in, create a new API key on the API Keys page.
Keep your API key secure. Never expose it in client-side code or public repositories.

3. Make Your First Call

AppleRouter is compatible with the OpenAI API format. You can use any OpenAI-compatible SDK or send HTTP requests directly.
curl https://api.applerouter.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gpt-4o",
    "messages": [
      {"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}
    ]
  }'
Replace YOUR_API_KEY with the API key you created in the Console.

Using Other Models

AppleRouter supports models from multiple AI providers. Just change the model parameter:
Python
# Using Claude
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="claude-sonnet-4-20250514",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
)

# Using Gemini
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gemini-2.0-flash",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
)

Using Native API Formats

If you prefer Claude or Gemini’s native API format, AppleRouter supports those too:
curl https://api.applerouter.ai/v1/messages \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "anthropic-version: 2023-06-01" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "claude-sonnet-4-20250514",
    "max_tokens": 1024,
    "messages": [
      {"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}
    ]
  }'
