# OpenRouter SDK Patterns
## Overview
Build production-grade OpenRouter client wrappers using the OpenAI SDK. The OpenAI Python/TypeScript SDKs work natively with OpenRouter by changing `base_url` to `https://openrouter.ai/api/v1`. This skill covers typed wrappers, retry strategies, middleware, and reusable patterns.
## Prerequisites
- An OpenRouter API key (`sk-or-v1-...`) exported as `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` — see the `openrouter-install-auth` skill for setup
- Python 3.8+ with the OpenAI SDK plus `requests` (used for the `/auth/key` credits check and `/generation` cost lookups), or Node.js 18+ with the OpenAI SDK
- Optional: `tenacity` if you want the custom retry decorator beyond the SDK's built-in backoff
- An app name and URL to send as `HTTP-Referer` / `X-Title` default headers for dashboard attribution
