Getting started
What is AtmoRouter?
AtmoRouter is a prepaid API gateway for AI inference. One account and API key let you access the models listed in the current catalogue, with usage charged to your balance instead of a required monthly subscription.
Explore the model catalogue ↗Which models can I use?
Use the live catalogue for current model IDs, capabilities and prices. Availability can change. Copy the complete ID exactly as listed; a familiar model name without its catalogue prefix may not identify an available model.
See available models ↗How do I connect a coding client or SDK?
Choose the client’s compatible API setting, enter an AtmoRouter API key and use the exact catalogue model ID. Chat Completions clients normally use https://atmorouter.dev/v1 as their base URL. Messages clients that append /v1 themselves use https://atmorouter.dev. Client settings and model capabilities can differ.
Read the integration guide ↗Can I retrieve a lost API key?
No. The full secret is shown when the key is created. If you lose it, create a replacement and revoke the old one. Keep keys out of public repositories and shared screenshots.
Manage API keys ↗Payments and billing
How is usage charged?
Recorded input, cached input and output usage is settled against your prepaid balance using the applicable request-time billing rules. Minimum charges and rounding may apply. A current catalogue quote is not a replacement for a past request’s Usage receipt.
Understand billing ↗How do I add funds?
Use the dashboard’s top-up flow and the payment methods shown there, including local QR payments and supported stablecoin transfers when available. Follow the invoice or deposit instructions exactly. Only a confirmed, credited payment increases your spendable balance.
Open top-ups ↗My payment is confirmed but the balance did not update. What should I do?
Keep the invoice or transaction reference, confirm that you used the displayed asset, address and network, and contact [email protected] with the account email, date and amount. We can investigate a confirmed payment that was not credited. Do not send another payment simply to retry an already completed one.
Can I refund an unused balance?
Unused prepaid balances and completed payments are non-refundable, except for verified errors or where applicable law requires a refund. Account closure or changing your mind does not itself create a refund entitlement.
Read the Refund Policy ↗Are failed or interrupted requests charged?
A failure before output is not charged. A partial or interrupted response can be billed for processed usage. Status and billing are separate: use the recorded charge and receipt in Usage rather than assuming every error or cancelled stream costs zero.
View Usage records ↗Why is some balance temporarily unavailable?
Before forwarding a paid request, AtmoRouter may reserve funds for estimated input and the allowed output. Settlement applies the recorded charge and releases the unused reservation. Concurrent requests can temporarily reduce available funds. If a reservation appears stuck after requests finish, contact support with the request ID.
How are “Saved vs official” and share images calculated?
Savings compare billed token usage with official list rates and subtract recorded spending, floored at zero. Cached input is valued at 10% of the official input rate. This is an estimate, not a cash rebate. Share image uses aggregate totals for the selected range; you can choose a theme and hide the spent amount before downloading the PNG.
Open Usage ↗Request errors and availability
Why can I see “balance too low” while I still have credit?
A request must fit the available balance after accounting for its input and maximum output, not just its expected short answer. Long conversation history, a large output limit or active reservations can affect affordability. Reduce unnecessary context or the output limit, check active requests and the Usage receipt, and contact support if the calculation appears wrong.
Why does a model sometimes have no available offer?
A listed model does not guarantee immediate capacity at every price. A selected price limit can exclude current offers, and capacity can change while a request is running. Check model status and your account or key budgets. Do not raise a budget unless you are comfortable with the higher ceiling.
Review price budgets ↗Do I need to wait until tomorrow after an error?
Not generally. A prepaid balance is not a daily quota that automatically refills overnight. Rate limits, promotional quotas, price limits and model availability are separate. Follow the error’s retry guidance, check status, and contact support if the problem persists.
Check service status ↗What should I send when reporting a request error?
Send the approximate time and timezone, full model ID, client and version, request ID, status code and relevant receipt or redacted error message to [email protected]. Do not include passwords, full API keys or confidential prompt content unless specifically needed and safely redacted.
Privacy and your account
Does AtmoRouter train models on my API requests?
AtmoRouter does not use API request content to train models. The infrastructure serving the selected model receives the content needed to run inference, and its handling can differ. Do not assume that all models have identical retention practices.
Read the Privacy Policy ↗Does the website use analytics or advertising measurement?
Yes. AtmoRouter uses first-party website analytics and supports campaign attribution and advertising measurement. When enabled, marketing events may include a hashed email, event details and technical information. These events do not include API prompts, responses, passwords or API keys. Browser controls do not necessarily stop server-side events.
Read about cookies and marketing ↗Can I export my data or delete my account?
Use Settings & data to export available account information or start account deletion. Follow the confirmation steps and any pending-deletion period shown there. Financial and security records may need to be retained, and deletion does not automatically refund a balance.
Open account settings ↗How do I contact AtmoRouter?
Email [email protected] for account, billing, privacy or service questions. Include enough information to identify the issue without sending credentials. For an outage or availability question, also check the public Status page.
