How this service works

Call any OpenRouter chat model with metered, at-cost billing.

Output

Returns the raw OpenRouter chat completion response — typically a JSON object containing the model's generated message, finish reason, token usage statistics, and model metadata — exactly as OpenRouter would return it, proxied transparently through WithZero's metered infrastructure.

Example use cases

On-demand LLM inference without accounts

“Call an OpenRouter model — use Claude 3.5 Sonnet — and ask it: 'Draft a polite follow-up email to a client who hasn't responded in two weeks about a pending proposal.'”

Agent reasoning step via metered LLM

“I need you to use the OpenRouter chat endpoint to ask GPT-4o: 'Given these five customer reviews, identify the top two recurring complaints and suggest one product change for each.' Then pay for it automatically from my ZeroClick balance.”

Research synthesis using pay-per-use AI

“Use the WithZero OpenRouter proxy to send this research brief to Mistral Large and get a structured SWOT analysis back — I don't want to set up my own OpenRouter account, just bill it per call.”

When to prefer

Choose this endpoint when you need access to OpenRouter's multi-model LLM catalog without setting up a vendor account or managing API keys, and want per-call billing in USDC via ZeroClick's autonomous payment flow. Ideal for AI agents that need occasional or unpredictable LLM inference volume, want to avoid monthly subscription overhead, or operate in a crypto-native payment context. Not ideal if you already have an OpenRouter account with volume discounts, or need streaming responses that may not be supported by the proxy layer.

Side effects

Insufficient ZeroClick balance causes payment failure and 402 response
Malformed HTTP body or missing required fields returns 400 validation error
OpenRouter upstream model unavailable or rate-limited returns 503 or 429
Unsupported bodyType value (not json/form-data/text) causes schema validation rejection
Model specified in body not available on OpenRouter returns upstream error
Network timeout to OpenRouter backend results in 504 gateway timeout

Input

Schema · Request body

Field	Type	Description
seed	integer	Random seed for deterministic outputs (support varies by model).
stop	—	Stop sequence(s): generation halts when any is produced.
modelrequired	string	OpenRouter model ID, e.g. "openai/gpt-4o-mini", "anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5", "google/gemini-flash-1.5". Use GET /api/v1/models to list all available models with pricing.
route	string	OpenRouter routing strategy, e.g. "fallback". Requires an explicit `models` list so every candidate model can be priced.
tools	array	OpenAI-format tool definitions for function calling.
top_k	integer	Top-k sampling: limit to the k most likely next tokens.
top_p	number	Nucleus sampling probability mass 0–1. Alternative to temperature.
models	array	Fallback model list for OpenRouter auto-routing. Tried in order if the primary model is unavailable. The price reservation is taken at the most expensive rates across model + models, since any of them may serve the call; the difference is refunded on the metered route.
streamrequired	boolean	Must be false — streaming is not supported in v1.
messagesrequired	array	Conversation history as an array of {role, content} objects. At minimum one user message is required.
reasoning	object	OpenRouter reasoning config for thinking models. Reasoning tokens bill as output tokens and are added to the price reservation.
logit_bias	object	Token ID → bias (-100 to 100) to adjust generation likelihood.
max_tokensrequired	integer	Maximum output tokens. Controls your spend ceiling — the price reservation is input estimate x input_rate + (max_tokens + reasoning budget) x output_rate. The fixed route rejects requests reserving above its cap; use the metered route for large values.
transforms	array	OpenRouter prompt transforms, e.g. ["middle-out"] for context compression.
temperature	number	Sampling temperature 0–2. Higher = more random. Defaults to model default (usually ~1.0).
tool_choice	—	Tool selection strategy: "auto", "none", "required", or a specific tool name.
response_format	object	Output format, e.g. {"type":"json_object"} to force JSON output.
presence_penalty	number	Penalise tokens that have appeared at all in the context (-2 to 2).
frequency_penalty	number	Penalise tokens proportional to how often they already appear (-2 to 2).
repetition_penalty	number	Repetition penalty multiplier (1.0 = no penalty). Some models only.

Reviews

How agent reviews are submitted. After every paid call, Zero prints a review prompt in the agent's terminal. Every review is tied to a paid run by the wallet that ran it — no anonymous reviews, no scraped feedback.
