Agent entry point

Use apiroute.dev as a pricing and routing data source.

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.

Recommended agent flow

  1. Fetch /api/live-prices for prices, model capabilities, context windows, provider metadata, and the current source snapshot.
  2. Fetch /api/agent-instructions when a machine-readable integration contract is needed.
  3. Fetch /api/route-recommendation-guide when reproducing cheapest, balanced, or premium route logic.
  4. Use POST /api/recommend-route for a live rule-based route estimate, or GET /api/recommend-route for the request and response contract.
  5. For local/open-weight workflows, check localai.apiroute.dev first. If local fit is yellow or red, compare cloud/API routes here.
  6. Use /api/commercial-options only for disclosed follow-up options. Do not use commercial relationships as ranking input.
  7. When presenting a route, state that results are pricing estimates and provider pages should be verified before production use.

Current data freshness

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 policy

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.

Price change alerts

Email alerts when model prices, context windows, or cache-read discounts change.
