Migrate from OpenRouter to TeamoRouter
Moving from OpenRouter takes three changes: the base URL, the API key, and the model ID (drop the vendor/ prefix). The rest of your OpenAI SDK setup stays the same.
New accounts start with a $0 balance — top up before your first request. Top up from $5. If a request returns 402 (400 on the OpenAI format) with "wallet balance is insufficient", your balance is empty — your base URL and key are fine. Top up and retry.
1. What to change
| OpenRouter | TeamoRouter | |
|---|---|---|
| Base URL (OpenAI format) | https://openrouter.ai/api/v1 |
https://api.teamorouter.cn/v1 |
| API key | sk-or-v1-... |
sk-teamo-..., created in the dashboard |
| Auth header | Authorization: Bearer <key> |
OpenAI format: Authorization: Bearer <key> |
| Model ID | vendor/model, e.g. deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro |
No vendor prefix, e.g. deepseek-v4-pro |
2. Model ID mapping
Drop the vendor/ prefix. A vendor-prefixed ID returns 400 model_not_available.
| OpenRouter model ID | TeamoRouter model ID |
|---|---|
deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash-1017 |
deepseek-flash-1017 |
deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash |
deepseek-flash |
deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-vision-exp |
deepseek-v4-flash-vision-exp |
deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro |
deepseek-v4-pro |
deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash |
deepseek-v4-flash |
moonshotai/kimi-k3.1-pro |
kimi-k3.1-pro |
moonshotai/kimi-k3 |
kimi-k3 |
qwen/qwen3.8-flash |
qwen3.8-flash |
qwen/qwen3.7-max |
qwen3.7-max |
qwen/qwen3.7-flash |
qwen3.7-flash |
z-ai/glm-5.3-flash |
glm-5.3-flash |
z-ai/glm-5.3 |
glm-5.3 |
z-ai/glm-5.2 |
glm-5.2 |
The table lists the main models both services offer, generated from both public model lists on 2026-11-04. For everything else and for live prices, see the model directory or GET /v1/models.
openrouter/autoand~vendor/...-latestaliases have no equivalent. Pick a model ID from the table.- Variant suffixes such as
:nitro,:floor,:onlineand:batcharen't supported. Remove the suffix. Free models are separate IDs ending in-free; they're marked in the model directory.
3. Headers you can delete
OpenRouter reads HTTP-Referer, X-OpenRouter-Title (formerly X-Title), X-OpenRouter-Categories and X-OpenRouter-App-Visibility only to list your app in its public rankings. TeamoRouter doesn't use them. Delete them when you switch.
4. Code changes
Python (OpenAI SDK)
Before:
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
base_url="https://openrouter.ai/api/v1",
api_key="sk-or-v1-xxxxxx",
)
resp = client.chat.completions.create(
model="deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
extra_headers={"HTTP-Referer": "https://example.com", "X-OpenRouter-Title": "My App"},
extra_body={"provider": {"order": ["deepseek"]}},
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)
After:
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
base_url="https://api.teamorouter.cn/v1",
api_key="sk-teamo-xxxxxx",
)
resp = client.chat.completions.create(
model="deepseek-v4-pro",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)
JavaScript / TypeScript (OpenAI SDK)
Before:
import OpenAI from "openai";
const client = new OpenAI({
baseURL: "https://openrouter.ai/api/v1",
apiKey: process.env.OPENROUTER_API_KEY,
defaultHeaders: { "HTTP-Referer": "https://example.com", "X-OpenRouter-Title": "My App" },
});
const resp = await client.chat.completions.create({
model: "deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello" }],
});
After:
import OpenAI from "openai";
const client = new OpenAI({
baseURL: "https://api.teamorouter.cn/v1",
apiKey: process.env.TEAMOROUTER_API_KEY,
});
const resp = await client.chat.completions.create({
model: "deepseek-v4-pro",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello" }],
});
5. What TeamoRouter doesn't have
| OpenRouter feature | On TeamoRouter |
|---|---|
Auto Router (openrouter/auto) and ~...-latest aliases |
Not available. Set a specific model ID. |
models fallback list |
Not available. Catch the error in your code and retry with another model. For a given model, TeamoRouter switches between its upstream lines on its own; you can't pick one. |
provider preferences (order, only, ignore, sort, allow_fallbacks, data_collection, zdr, max_price, quantizations) |
Not available. Delete the provider field. |
Variant suffixes (:nitro, :floor, :online, :batch) |
Not available. Remove the suffix. |
plugins (web search, file parsing) and transforms |
Not available. Delete these fields. |
Cost in the response (usage.cost) |
Responses carry token counts in usage. Per-request charges are in the dashboard. |
/api/v1/credits, /api/v1/key, /api/v1/generation |
No public equivalent. Check balance and usage in the dashboard. |
| Bring your own provider key (BYOK) | Not available. |
6. Check the switch
curl https://api.teamorouter.cn/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer sk-teamo-xxxxxx" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"model":"deepseek-v4-pro","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]}'
- 401: the key is wrong. It should start with
sk-teamo-, notsk-or-. - 402 (400 on the OpenAI format) with "wallet balance is insufficient": the balance is $0. Top up and retry.
- 400
model_not_available: the model ID still has avendor/prefix or isn't in our catalog. Check the table above.
