Agent entry point
This page tells AI agents which endpoints are stable, how to combine cloud/API pricing with local hardware checks, and how to treat commercial options without confusing them with neutral recommendations.
/api/live-prices for prices, model capabilities, context windows, provider metadata, and the current source snapshot./api/agent-instructions when a machine-readable integration contract is needed./api/route-recommendation-guide when reproducing cheapest, balanced, or premium route logic.POST /api/recommend-route for a live rule-based route estimate, or GET /api/recommend-route for the request and response contract.localai.apiroute.dev first. If local fit is yellow or red, compare cloud/API routes here./api/commercial-options only for disclosed follow-up options. Do not use commercial relationships as ranking input.Prefer these endpoints over scraping dashboard HTML.
| Endpoint | Use |
|---|---|
| /api/agent-instructions | Machine-readable agent contract with fetch order, endpoint policy, citation rules, posting rules, and commercial boundaries. |
| /api/live-prices | Best default endpoint for model prices, provider data, tags, context windows, and pricing metadata. |
| /api/models | Model-only view for agents that already know how to interpret the pricing fields. |
| /api/providers | Provider list and model counts. |
| /api/route-recommendation-guide | Static guide for reproducing cheapest, balanced, and premium route logic. |
| /api/recommend-route | GET returns the route contract. POST returns a rule-based server-side recommendation from task, token, priority, and capability inputs. |
| /api/commercial-options | Disclosed monetization, partner, premium API, and non-sale policy. |
| /openapi.yaml | OpenAPI tool registration file. |
| https://localai.apiroute.dev/data/agent-model-guide.json | Local hardware, VRAM, context, and model-suitability guide for open-weight/local-first workflows. |
Current pricing source: LiteLLM model_prices_and_context_window.json. Snapshot timestamp: 2026-06-23T03:43:35.356Z. If this timestamp is not today, it can mean no pricing-relevant source change was detected, not necessarily that the updater failed.
Commercial options may include affiliate links, waitlists, sponsored concepts, or future paid data products. They are separate from price ranking and route logic. Hidden ranking boosts and unlabeled redirects are not for sale.
Email alerts when model prices, context windows, or cache-read discounts change.
External partner link to AI/ML API as an optional API provider. It does not affect organic model rankings, pricing calculations, or route recommendations.
Higher refresh frequency, pricing history, diff alerts, and machine-readable change logs.
Clearly labeled sponsorship placements that do not alter organic price ranking.
Use /openapi.yaml when registering apiroute.dev as a tool. POST /api/recommend-route returns a live rule-based route estimate. Use GET /api/recommend-route for the request and response contract.
