Das Versprechen

Ein Endpoint. Nie aufhören zu bauen.

Nie an Limits stoßen

Automatisches Fallback über 339 Anbieter in Millisekunden. Kontingent erschöpft? Der nächste Anbieter übernimmt. kein Ausfall.

Bis zu 95% Token sparen

Step 1: Install

Install the `omniroute` npm package globally.

omniroute: install
$ npm install -g omnirouteadded 1 package

Step 2: Run

Launch the API and dashboard together on port 20128.

omniroute: run
$ omniroute▸ dashboard ✓ http://localhost:20128/dashboard▸ api ...... ✓ serving on :20128

Step 3: Connect your tool

Use `http://localhost:20128/v1`; the keyless `auto` route works on a fresh install.

omniroute: connect
$ curl localhost:20128/v1/models✓ models listed

Die tägliche Realität

Warum OmniRoute

Jeder Coding-KI-Schmerz hat eine eingebaute Lösung. Keine Skripte, kein Aufpassen.

Without routing
With OmniRoute
Quota expires unused
Track and drain the allowance you already have
Rate limits stop you mid-task
4-tier auto-fallback in milliseconds
Tool output burns tokens
12-engine compression, 15–95% on eligible content
Expensive APIs add up
Cost-optimized routing can pick the cheapest eligible target
Each tool needs its own setup
One endpoint and one dashboard
A provider is unavailable from your network
Proxy scopes and client-fingerprint controls
One dead key breaks a provider
Breaker, cooldown and lockout isolate the failure
A team shares one subscription
Key pools and fair-share quotas
You need local control of routing data
Local-first storage with encrypted credentials
No spend or health visibility
Usage, quota, savings and latency analytics

Use quota you already have before touching paid APIs.

Kostenlose Token, ehrlich gezählt

~1.51B kostenlose Token pro Monat.

455 catalog entries are deduplicated into 40 recurring pools; only published positive budgets feed the headline.

1.51B

Pool-deduped accounting keeps shared quotas from being counted more than once. No-cap providers stay visible without inflating the token total. Checked 2026-08-30.

3 Schichten, nicht 3 Stufen

Fehler auf der richtigen Ebene. nicht das Ganze.

Ein schlechter Schlüssel sollte keinen Anbieter töten. Ein totes Modell sollte keinen Schlüssel töten. Jeder Fehler wird auf den kleinstmöglichen Bereich isoliert, sodass alles andere weiterhin bedient wird.

model ⊂ connection ⊂ provider
Provider circuit breakerWhen a provider is unhealthy, combo routing skips it until a half-open probe succeeds.
Connection cooldownCool down one key or account while sibling connections keep serving.
Model lockoutLock one rate-limited or unavailable model while other models on the connection remain available.

Network controls

Network routing and local data controls.

Proxy scopes control network routing while local-first storage keeps operational data on your machine.

Three proxy scopes

Route globally, per provider or per individual connection.

  • Global · per-provider · per-connection
  • SOCKS5 and HTTP(S) proxies
  • Proxy marketplace integration

TLS and client fingerprint controls

Match supported provider clients down to selected transport characteristics.

  • JA3/JA4-capable transport via wreq-js
  • Provider-specific client profiles
  • IPv4 and IPv6 egress controls

Private and local-first

Keys, usage and history stay on the host you control.

  • SQLite on disk with AES-256-GCM encrypted credentials
  • No OmniRoute account required
  • Self-host on infrastructure you choose
