FAQ

Before your first request.

What is CloseRouter?

CloseRouter brings models from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and other developers into one API. One account, balance, and key replace separate subscriptions and dashboards.

Which APIs are supported?

Use the OpenAI-compatible /v1/chat/completions and /v1/responses endpoints or the Anthropic-compatible /v1/messages endpoint. Keys work with Authorization: Bearer or x-api-key.

How does Auto work?

CloseRouter considers the endpoint, streaming, parameters, context, and current availability. It then selects the cheapest available option among compatible routes.

Can I choose a provider manually?

Yes. Keep Auto enabled or create your own ordered provider chain. Manual mode uses only the options you selected.

How is pricing calculated?

Text models are typically billed by input and output tokens. Images may be billed per result and video per second. Current rates are listed in the catalog.

Am I charged when a request fails?

Funds are deducted only for confirmed billable usage. Requests rejected before execution, or requests without valid usage data, are not charged.

Are requests and responses stored?

CloseRouter does not store the content of user requests or responses. Only technical metadata needed for billing, security, and diagnostics is retained.

Does CloseRouter work with Codex and Claude Code?

Yes, when the client supports custom API keys and base URLs. Ready-to-use examples are available on the API Keys page after sign-up.
