Your unique API key appears immediately on the screen for you to copy securely.

Integrate

Paste the key and the base URL https://api.openrouterapi.cc/v1 into your preferred SDK or client.

Access Uncensored Completions

Your API key grants access to a dedicated endpoint serving one uncensored large language model. You can send POST requests to /v1/chat/completions and retrieve model details via GET /v1/models. The API supports streaming via SSE, function calling, and JSON mode, making it a drop-in replacement for standard chat integrations. It handles text input and output with a 64,000 token context window, ensuring you can process substantial amounts of data without managing complex routing logic.

Trial Credit and Billing

Every new account receives $0.50 in trial credit valid for 7 days, requiring no credit card. Once the trial expires or credit is used, you can top up using USDT (TRC20) or USDC (Base) for amounts between $10 and $500. Prepaid credit is charged based on real token usage, and errors or refusals are free. Your credit never expires, and you can replace a leaked key instantly by generating a new one from your dashboard.

Questions and answers

Do I need a credit card to start?

No, you do not need a credit card to start. You can sign up with Google or email/password and receive $0.50 in trial credit immediately. Credit card details are only required if you choose to add prepaid balance later, which is done via cryptocurrency.

What happens when my trial credit ends?

Your API key remains active, but you cannot make further requests until you add prepaid credit. You can top up using USDT (TRC20) or USDC (Base) for any whole amount between $10 and $500. Your existing credit never expires, so you can use it whenever you are ready to resume usage.

How do I replace a leaked API key?

You can generate a new API key directly from your account dashboard. The new key becomes active immediately, and the old key is deactivated. You only have one active key per account, so generating a new one automatically replaces the previous one.

Is this the official OpenRouter site?

No, this is an independent service offering an uncensored alternative compatible with the OpenRouter API standard. We do not aggregate multiple models or act as a reseller for other vendors. Our endpoint serves a single dedicated model optimized for uncensored outputs.
