Quickstart
From your first account to your first CyberRouter response.
Prepare your account
- Join the waitlist to request an invitation, or sign in if you already have an account. Use your invitation link to register, then confirm your email.
- Open API Keys and create a CyberRouter key for your application. Copy it when it is shown.
- Connect your provider key using the BYOK guide. Your provider must have the required API balance and model access.
- Check your available CyberRouter credits on the Credits page. These pay the CyberRouter service fee.
Send your first request
Examples use DeepSeek Flash. Connect a DeepSeek provider key first, or replace the model ID with a supported model from your catalog. Set CYBERROUTER_API_KEY in your application environment to the key you created in CyberRouter.
