# OpenRouter OpenAI Compatibility
## Overview
OpenRouter implements the OpenAI Chat Completions API specification (`/v1/chat/completions`). Existing OpenAI SDK code works with OpenRouter by changing two values: `base_url` and `api_key`. This gives you access to 400+ models from all providers through the same SDK interface.
## Prerequisites
- An existing OpenAI SDK integration to migrate — Python or TypeScript code calling `chat.completions.create`
- An OpenRouter API key exported as `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` — see the `openrouter-install-auth` skill for setup
- Python 3.8+ with the `openai` package, or Node.js 18+ with the `openai` npm package — the same SDK you already use, no new dependency
- Optionally keep `OPENAI_API_KEY` exported too, so the Dual-Provider Pattern can switch back to direct OpenAI
