# OpenRouter Model Availability
## Overview
OpenRouter's `/api/v1/models` endpoint is the source of truth for model availability. Models can be temporarily unavailable, have degraded performance, or be permanently removed. This skill covers querying model status, building health probes, tracking availability over time, and automating failover.
## Prerequisites
- An OpenRouter API key exported as `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` for live probes (the catalog query itself needs no auth) — see the `openrouter-install-auth` skill for setup
- `curl` and `jq` for the catalog status queries and the cron monitoring script
- Python 3.8+ with the OpenAI SDK and `requests` (`pip install openai requests`) for the health-check service
- A small credit balance — each `max_tokens: 1` probe costs roughly $0.0001
