9Router

Local/remote AI gateway exposing OpenAI-compatible REST. One key, many providers, auto-fallback.

export NINEROUTER_KEY="sk-..."                      # from Dashboard → Keys (only if requireApiKey=true)

All requests: ${NINEROUTER_URL}/v1/... with header Authorization: Bearer ${NINEROUTER_KEY} (omit if auth disabled).

Verify: curl $NINEROUTER_URL/api/health → {"ok":true}
