Five steps to a first response

  1. 1

    Create or sign in to your free account

    Open OpenRouter and choose the free account. The published Free plan has API access and no payment method.

    View Free plan ↗
  2. 2

    Create an API key

    Open the API Keys page while signed in and create a key. Copy it into a local environment variable; this site never asks for it.

    Open API Keys ↗
  3. 3

    Use this exact free variant

    Copy the Base URL and Model ID below. Keep the :free suffix; the plain model ID can have different pricing.

  4. 4

    Send the sample request from your terminal

    Set OPENROUTER_API_KEY locally, then run the cURL example. It asks for a short text reply and does not enable paid fallback.

  5. 5

    If the free limit is reached

    Check your account limit or wait for the quota to reset. Recheck the official model page before trying another model; do not silently switch to a paid ID.

    Check current limits ↗

Minimal cURL request

Run this on your own computer. Set OPENROUTER_API_KEY in your local shell first. The page never collects or sends your key. The sample requests at most 32 output tokens and contains no paid fallback.

Terminal
# Set OPENROUTER_API_KEY in your own terminal first. Do not paste it into this site.
curl 'https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/chat/completions' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENROUTER_API_KEY" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"model":"dots-studio/dots-3-note-preview:free","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Reply with one short greeting."}],"max_tokens":32}'

A 401/403 can indicate a key or account issue; 404 can indicate a changed model ID; 429 usually points to a limit. Check OpenRouter's own error details before changing plans.
