ToRouter Docs5-minute quickstart
Sign up, top up, subscribe, create a key, and make your first call against ToRouter.
Go from zero to your first successful API call in under five minutes. You only need an email address and a card.
Create your account
Open portal.torouter.ai and register with your email and password. Click the verification link we email you to activate the account.
See Sign up & verify email for details.
Top up with Stripe
In the console, open Billing → Top up and pay with a card via Stripe. The credit lands on your account balance and is what pay-per-token requests will draw against.
See Top up your balance.
Enable model access
Open Subscriptions in the console and follow the prompts. Once active, your key can call the models covered by that access.
Create an API key
Open API Keys → New key, give it a name, and copy the sk-*** value. You only see it once.
See Create an API key.
Make your first call
Use the OpenAI-compatible endpoint with your new key.
