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

Alles inbegrepen

Alles ingebouwd. Geen add-ons.

Routing, weerbaarheid, gratis-quotum-afvloeiing, compressie en agentprotocollen. één binary, nul plugins om samen te voegen.

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

Gratis tokens, eerlijk geteld

~1.51B gratis tokens per maand.

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 lagen, geen 3 niveaus

Faal op het juiste niveau. niet het geheel.

Een slechte sleutel mag een provider niet platleggen. Een dood model mag een sleutel niet platleggen. Elke storing is geïsoleerd tot het kleinst mogelijke bereik, zodat al het andere blijft werken.

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
