Any OpenAI SDK

Every official and community SDK just works — only the baseURL and apiKey change.

quickstart.ts

import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.REALROUTER_KEY,
  baseURL: "https://api.realrouter.org/v1",
});

const response = await client.responses.create({
  model: "gpt-5.4-mini",
  input: "Plan my week",
});
