OpenRouter Debug Bundle

Current State

!node --version 2>/dev/null || echo 'N/A' !python3 --version 2>/dev/null || echo 'N/A'

Overview

When an OpenRouter request fails or returns unexpected results, you need a structured debug bundle: the exact request, response, headers, generation metadata, and environment info. The generation ID (gen-* prefix in response.id) is the key correlator -- it lets you look up exact cost, provider used, and latency via GET /api/v1/generation?id=.

Quick Debug: curl

# Send a request and capture full response with headers
curl -v https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENROUTER_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "HTTP-Referer: https://my-app.com" \
  -H "X-Title: debug-test" \
  -d '{
    "model": "openai/gpt-4o-mini",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Say hello"}],
    "max_tokens": 50
  }' 2>&1 | tee /tmp/openrouter-debug.txt

# Extract generation ID from response
GEN_ID=$(jq -r '.id' /tmp/openrouter-debug.txt 2>/dev/null)
echo "Generation ID: $GEN_ID"

# Look up generation metadata (exact cost, provider, latency)
curl -s "https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/generation?id=$GEN_ID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENROUTER_API_KEY" | jq '.data | {
    model: .model,
    total_cost: .total_cost,
    tokens_prompt: .tokens_prompt,
    tokens_completion: .tokens_completion,
    generation_time: .generation_time,
    provider: .provider_name
  }'

# Usage

bundle.save("debug_bundle.json")

Common Debug Checks

# 1. Verify API key is valid
curl -s https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/auth/key \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENROUTER_API_KEY" | jq '.data | {label, usage, limit, is_free_tier}'

# 2. Check if model exists
MODEL="anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet"
curl -s https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/models | jq --arg m "$MODEL" '.data[] | select(.id == $m) | {id, context_length}'

# 3. Check OpenRouter status
curl -s https://status.openrouter.ai/api/v2/status.json | jq '.status'

Error Handling

ErrorCauseFix
No generation ID in responseRequest failed before reaching providerCheck network, verify base URL is https://openrouter.ai/api/v1
Generation metadata missingFetched too soon or wrong keyWait 1-2s; use same API key that made the request
Intermittent 502/503Upstream provider outageCheck status.openrouter.ai; try different provider
model_not_foundModel ID typo or model removedQuery /api/v1/models to verify model exists
Slow TTFT (>10s)Model cold start or overloadUse streaming; try :floor variant for different provider

Enterprise Considerations

  • Always redact API keys from debug bundles before sharing (sk-or-v1-... -> sk-or-v1-[REDACTED])
  • Include the generation ID when contacting OpenRouter support -- it's the primary lookup key
  • Log debug bundles to structured storage for post-incident analysis
  • Set up automated debug bundle capture on 4xx/5xx responses in production
  • Compare failing requests against a known-good baseline to isolate changes
