OpenRouter - How do I link my account?

​

Overview

To authenticate with OpenRouter, you need:

1. API Key — A key that grants Nango access to the OpenRouter API on your behalf.

This guide will walk you through creating your API key.

​

Prerequisites

• An OpenRouter account.

​

Step 1: Create your API key

1. Log in to OpenRouter and go to the API Keys page in your settings.
2. Create a new key and give it a name, such as Nango.
3. Choose a credit limit. OpenRouter recommends setting a limit on every key so that a leaked key can’t spend your entire balance.
4. Set Expiration to No expiration so the key doesn’t expire and break the connection.

5. Copy the generated key. It starts with sk-or-v1-.

​

Step 2: Enter your API key in the Connect UI

1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with OpenRouter.
2. Enter your API Key in the designated field.
3. Submit the form, and you should be successfully authenticated.

You are now connected to OpenRouter.
