Documentation

One key, one bill, every major LLM provider. Everything you need to integrate nRouter into your application — auth, credits, observability, and guardrails.

nRouter is a managed LLM gateway that gives your team one API key to access 240+ models across six provider clouds — Alibaba US, OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, Azure Foundry, Google Vertex AI, and Anthropic — with budget enforcement, guardrails, and smart routing in the request path. One key, one bill, total control — for every team and every autonomous agent. More providers land on a rolling basis. New here? Start with Why nRouter for the enterprise pitch, then follow the Quick Start to make your first API call.
