9router
9Router is a local or remote AI gateway that provides OpenAI-compatible REST endpoints for multiple AI capabilities including chat, image generation, text-to-speech, embeddings, and web search. Use this skill when a user references 9Router, needs to configure a unified AI provider interface, or wants to access multiple AI services through a single API key without writing provider-specific code.

# 9Router
Local/remote AI gateway exposing OpenAI-compatible REST. One key, many providers, auto-fallback.
## Setup
```bash
export NINEROUTER_URL="http://localhost:20128" # or VPS / tunnel URL
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}`
## Discover models
```bash
curl $NINEROUTER_URL/v1/models # chat/LLM (default)
curl $NINEROUTER_URL/v1/models/image # image-gen
curl $NINEROUTER_URL/v1/models/tts # text-to-speech
curl $NINEROUTER_URL/v1/models/embedding # embeddings
curl $NINEROUTER_URL/v1/models/web # web search + fetch (entries have `kind` field)
curl $NINEROUTER_URL/v1/models/stt # speech-to-text
curl $NINEROUTER_URL/v1/models/image-to-text # vision
```
Use `data[].id` as `model` field in requests. Combos appear with `owned_by:"combo"`.
Response shape:
```json
{ "object": "list", "data": [
{ "id": "openai/gpt-5", "object": "model", "owned_by": "openai", "created": 1735000000 },
{ "id": "tavily/search", "object": "model", "kind": "webSearch", "owned_by": "tavily", "created": 1735000000 }
]}
```
