Migrate from OpenRouter

Aggregatorone-line swap

Already OpenAI-compatible — the same one-line swap, with India residency and INR on top.

The change

Before — OpenRouter

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://openrouter.ai/api/v1",
    api_key="sk-or-...",
)

After — BharatRouter

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.bharatrouter.com/v1",
    api_key="br-...",
)

OpenRouter	BharatRouter
`provider.sort: "price" \| "throughput"`	`optimize: "price" \| "latency" \| "uptime" \| "auto"`
`provider.order` / `allow_fallbacks`	Saved fallback chains + automatic failover
`provider.only` / `ignore`	`provider` (pin) / `exclude` (drop)
`HTTP-Referer` / `X-Title` headers	Not required — omit them

Enforceable India data-residency (data_policy: "india_only") — OpenRouter has no equivalent.
Native INR pricing; compare it live with /v1/pricing/compare.
Krutrim and Sarvam as first-class India-resident routes.

Model ids differ — map OpenRouter's vendor/model ids to BharatRouter catalog ids (see catalog).
Not every OpenRouter model is on the catalog yet; bring it via BYOK if missing.
