You can install the package via composer:
composer require moe-mizrak/laravel-openrouter
You can publish the config file with:
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-openrouter
This is the contents of the published config file:
return [
'api_endpoint' => env('OPENROUTER_API_ENDPOINT', 'https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/'),
'api_key' => env('OPENROUTER_API_KEY'),
'api_timeout' => env('OPENROUTER_API_TIMEOUT', 20)
];
After publishing the package configuration file, you'll need to add the following environment variables to your .env file:
OPENROUTER_API_ENDPOINT=https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/
OPENROUTER_API_KEY=your_api_key
OPENROUTER_API_TIMEOUT=request_timeout
- OPENROUTER_API_ENDPOINT: The endpoint URL for the OpenRouter API (default: https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/).
- OPENROUTER_API_KEY: Your API key for accessing the OpenRouter API. You can obtain this key from the OpenRouter dashboard.
- OPENROUTER_API_TIMEOUT: Request timeout in seconds. Increase value to 120 - 180 if you use long-thinking models like openai/o1 (default: 20)
This package provides two ways to interact with the OpenRouter API:
- Using the
LaravelOpenRouter
facade - Instantiating the
OpenRouterRequest
class directly.
Both methods utilize the ChatData
DTO class to structure the data sent to the API.
The ChatData
class is used to encapsulate the data required for making chat requests to the OpenRouter API. Here's a breakdown of the key properties:
- messages (array|null): An array of
MessageData
objects representing the chat messages. This field is XOR-gated with theprompt
field. - prompt (string|null): A string representing the prompt for the chat request. This field is XOR-gated with the
messages
field. - model (string|null): The name of the model to be used for the chat request. If not specified, the user's default model will be used. This field is XOR-gated with the
models
field. - response_format (ResponseFormatData|null): An instance of the
ResponseFormatData
class representing the desired format for the response. - stop (array|string|null): A value specifying the stop sequence for the chat generation.
- stream (bool|null): A boolean indicating whether streaming should be enabled or not.
These properties control various aspects of the generated response (more info):
- max_tokens (int|null): The maximum number of tokens that can be generated in the completion. Default is 1024.
- temperature (float|null): A value between 0 and 2 controlling the randomness of the output.
- top_p (float|null): A value between 0 and 1 for nucleus sampling, an alternative to temperature sampling.
- top_k (float|null): A value between 1 and infinity for top-k sampling (not available for OpenAI models).
- frequency_penalty (float|null): A value between -2 and 2 for penalizing new tokens based on their existing frequency.
- presence_penalty (float|null): A value between -2 and 2 for penalizing new tokens based on whether they appear in the text so far.
- repetition_penalty (float|null): A value between 0 and 2 for penalizing repetitive tokens.
- seed (int|null): A value for deterministic sampling (OpenAI models only, in beta).
Only natively suported by OpenAI models. For others, we submit a YAML-formatted string with these tools at the end of the prompt.
- tool_choice (string|array|null): A value specifying the tool choice for function calling (OpenAI models only).
- tools (array|null): An array of
ToolCallData
objects for function calling.
- logit_bias (array|null): An array for modifying the likelihood of specified tokens appearing in the completion.
- transforms (array|null): An array for configuring prompt transforms.
- models (array|null): An array of models to automatically try if the primary model is unavailable. This field is XOR-gated with the
model
field. - route (string|null): A value specifying the route type (e.g.,
RouteType::FALLBACK
). - provider (ProviderPreferencesData|null): An instance of the
ProviderPreferencesData
DTO object for configuring provider preferences.
This is a sample chat data instance:
$chatData = new ChatData([
'messages' => [
new MessageData([
'role' => RoleType::USER,
'content' => [
new TextContentData([
'type' => TextContentData::ALLOWED_TYPE,
'text' => 'This is a sample text content.',
]),
new ImageContentPartData([
'type' => ImageContentPartData::ALLOWED_TYPE,
'image_url' => new ImageUrlData([
'url' => 'https://example.com/image.jpg',
'detail' => 'Sample image',
]),
]),
],
]),
],
'response_format' => new ResponseFormatData([
'type' => 'json_object',
]),
'stop' => ['stop_token'],
'stream' => true,
'max_tokens' => 1024,
'temperature' => 0.7,
'top_p' => 0.9,
'top_k' => 50,
'frequency_penalty' => 0.5,
'presence_penalty' => 0.2,
'repetition_penalty' => 1.2,
'seed' => 42,
'tool_choice' => 'auto',
'tools' => [
// ToolCallData instances
],
'logit_bias' => [
'50256' => -100,
],
'transforms' => ['middle-out'],
'models' => ['model1', 'model2'],
'route' => RouteType::FALLBACK,
'provider' => new ProviderPreferencesData([
'allow_fallbacks' => true,
'require_parameters' => true,
'data_collection' => DataCollectionType::ALLOW,
]),
]);
The LaravelOpenRouter
facade offers a convenient way to make OpenRouter API requests.
To send a chat request, create an instance of ChatData
and pass it to the chatRequest
method:
$content = 'Tell me a story about a rogue AI that falls in love with its creator.'; // Your desired prompt or content
$model = 'mistralai/mistral-7b-instruct:free'; // The OpenRouter model you want to use (https://openrouter.ai/docs#models)
$messageData = new MessageData([
'content' => $content,
'role' => RoleType::USER,
]);
$chatData = new ChatData([
'messages' => [
$messageData,
],
'model' => $model,
'max_tokens' => 100, // Adjust this value as needed
]);
$chatResponse = LaravelOpenRouter::chatRequest($chatData);
Streaming chat request is also supported and can be used as following by using chatStreamRequest function:
$content = 'Tell me a story about a rogue AI that falls in love with its creator.'; // Your desired prompt or content
$model = 'mistralai/mistral-7b-instruct:free'; // The OpenRouter model you want to use (https://openrouter.ai/docs#models)
$messageData = new MessageData([
'content' => $content,
'role' => RoleType::USER,
]);
$chatData = new ChatData([
'messages' => [
$messageData,
],
'model' => $model,
'max_tokens' => 100, // Adjust this value as needed
]);
/*
* Calls chatStreamRequest ($promise is type of PromiseInterface)
*/
$promise = LaravelOpenRouter::chatStreamRequest($chatData);
// Waits until the promise completes if possible.
$stream = $promise->wait(); // $stream is type of GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Stream
/*
* 1) You can retrieve whole raw response as: - Choose 1) or 2) depending on your case.
*/
$rawResponseAll = $stream->getContents(); // Instead of chunking streamed response as below - while (! $stream->eof()), it waits and gets raw response all together.
$response = LaravelOpenRouter::filterStreamingResponse($rawResponseAll); // Optionally you can use filterStreamingResponse to filter raw streamed response, and map it into array of responseData DTO same as chatRequest response format.
// 2) Or Retrieve streamed raw response as it becomes available:
while (! $stream->eof()) {
$rawResponse = $stream->read(1024); // readByte can be set as desired, for better performance 4096 byte (4kB) can be used.
/*
* Optionally you can use filterStreamingResponse to filter raw streamed response, and map it into array of responseData DTO same as chatRequest response format.
*/
$response = LaravelOpenRouter::filterStreamingResponse($rawResponse);
}
You do not need to specify 'stream' = true
in ChatData since chatStreamRequest
does it for you.
This is the expected sample rawResponse (raw response returned from OpenRouter stream chunk) $rawResponse

If you want to maintain conversation continuity meaning that historical chat will be remembered and considered for your new chat request, you need to send historical messages along with the new message:
$model = 'mistralai/mistral-7b-instruct:free';
$firstMessage = new MessageData([
'role' => RoleType::USER,
'content' => 'My name is Moe, the AI necromancer.',
]);
$chatData = new ChatData([
'messages' => [
$firstMessage,
],
'model' => $model,
]);
// This is the chat which you want LLM to remember
$oldResponse = LaravelOpenRouter::chatRequest($chatData);
/*
* You can skip part above and just create your historical message below (maybe you retrieve historical messages from DB etc.)
*/
// Here adding historical response to new message
$historicalMessage = new MessageData([
'role' => RoleType::ASSISTANT, // set as assistant since it is a historical message retrieved previously
'content' => Arr::get($oldResponse->choices[0],'message.content'), // Historical response content retrieved from previous chat request
]);
// This is your new message
$newMessage = new MessageData([
'role' => RoleType::USER,
'content' => 'Who am I?',
]);
$chatData = new ChatData([
'messages' => [
$historicalMessage,
$newMessage,
],
'model' => $model,
]);
$response = LaravelOpenRouter::chatRequest($chatData);
Expected response:
$content = Arr::get($response->choices[0], 'message.content');
// content = You are Moe, a fictional character and AI Necromancer, as per the context of the conversation we've established. In reality, you are the user interacting with me, an assistant designed to help answer questions and engage in friendly conversation.
To retrieve the cost of a generation, first make a chat request
and obtain the generationId
. Then, pass the generationId to the costRequest
method:
$content = 'Tell me a story about a rogue AI that falls in love with its creator.'; // Your desired prompt or content
$model = 'mistralai/mistral-7b-instruct:free'; // The OpenRouter model you want to use (https://openrouter.ai/docs#models)
$messageData = new MessageData([
'content' => $content,
'role' => RoleType::USER,
]);
$chatData = new ChatData([
'messages' => [
$messageData,
],
'model' => $model,
'max_tokens' => 100, // Adjust this value as needed
]);
$chatResponse = LaravelOpenRouter::chatRequest($chatData);
$generationId = $chatResponse->id; // generation id which will be passed to costRequest
$costResponse = LaravelOpenRouter::costRequest($generationId);
To retrieve rate limit and credits left on the API key:
$limitResponse = LaravelOpenRouter::limitRequest();
You can also inject the OpenRouterRequest
class in the constructor of your class and use its methods directly.
public function __construct(protected OpenRouterRequest $openRouterRequest) {}
Similarly, to send a chat request, create an instance of ChatData
and pass it to the chatRequest
method:
$content = 'Tell me a story about a rogue AI that falls in love with its creator.'; // Your desired prompt or content
$model = 'mistralai/mistral-7b-instruct:free'; // The OpenRouter model you want to use (https://openrouter.ai/docs#models)
$messageData = new MessageData([
'content' => $content,
'role' => RoleType::USER,
]);
$chatData = new ChatData([
'messages' => [
$messageData,
],
'model' => $model,
'max_tokens' => 100, // Adjust this value as needed
]);
$response = $this->openRouterRequest->chatRequest($chatData);
Similarly, to retrieve the cost of a generation, create a chat request
to obtain the generationId
, then pass the generationId
to the costRequest
method:
$content = 'Tell me a story about a rogue AI that falls in love with its creator.';
$model = 'mistralai/mistral-7b-instruct:free'; // The OpenRouter model you want to use (https://openrouter.ai/docs#models)
$messageData = new MessageData([

'max_tokens' => 100, // Adjust this value as needed
]);
$chatResponse = $this->openRouterRequest->chatRequest($chatData);
$generationId = $chatResponse->id; // generation id which will be passed to costRequest
$costResponse = $this->openRouterRequest->costRequest($generationId);
Similarly, to retrieve rate limit and credits left on the API key:
$limitResponse = $this->openRouterRequest->limitRequest();
