Use RoutePlex with the OpenAI SDK

You don't need a new SDK to use RoutePlex. If you already use the OpenAI SDK, you can access all 22+ models — including Claude, Gemini, and more — by changing a single line of code.

How It Works

RoutePlex implements the OpenAI Chat Completions API specification. This means any tool, library, or framework that speaks the OpenAI protocol works with RoutePlex out of the box.

Python

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.routeplex.com/api/v1",
    api_key="rpx_your_api_key"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="routeplex-ai",  # or "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4", "google/gemini-2.5-flash", etc.
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "Hello from RoutePlex!"}
    ]
)

TypeScript / JavaScript

import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
    baseURL: "https://api.routeplex.com/api/v1",
    apiKey: "rpx_your_api_key"
});

const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
    model: "routeplex-ai",
    messages: [
        { role: "user", content: "Hello from RoutePlex!" }
    ]
});

cURL

curl https://api.routeplex.com/api/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer rpx_your_api_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "routeplex-ai",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
  }'
