# OpenRouter Known Pitfalls

## Overview

A curated list of real-world mistakes developers make when integrating OpenRouter, each with the specific API behavior that causes the problem and the exact fix. These are not theoretical -- they come from production incidents and support requests.

## Prerequisites

- An existing (or in-progress) OpenRouter integration to audit against the 10 pitfalls below
- 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 (`pip install openai`) to run the validation snippets (e.g., the startup check against `/api/v1/models`)
- Grep access to the codebase to hunt hardcoded `sk-or-v1-` keys and scattered model IDs
