Synrouter Docs

Agent clients

Most agent clients only need a compatible base URL and a Synrouter API key. Use the OpenAI-compatible endpoint for chat-completion clients and the Anthropic-compatible endpoint for Claude-style clients.

Choose the right compatibility mode

OpenAI-compatible clients

Use https://synrouter.ai/api/v1 for clients that call Chat Completions.

Anthropic-compatible clients

Use https://synrouter.ai/api/anthropic for clients that call Anthropic Messages.

OpenAI-compatible environment variables

Many CLI tools and SDK-based agents read OpenAI-compatible settings from environment variables.

bash

1export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-sr-..."

2export OPENAI_BASE_URL="https://synrouter.ai/api/v1"

Anthropic-compatible environment variables

Claude-style clients should use the Anthropic-compatible base URL.

bash

1export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-sr-..."

2export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://synrouter.ai/api/anthropic"

Codex-style provider configuration

If your client supports named model providers, add Synrouter as a provider and route chat requests through the OpenAI-compatible API.

toml

2name = "Synrouter"

4api_key = "sk-sr-..."

5wire_api = "chat"

Model selection

Pick a model ID returned by GET /v1/models. Example IDs include deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash and anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6.
