# OpenRouter
Aider can connect to [models provided by OpenRouter](https://openrouter.ai/models?o=top-weekly):
You'll need an [OpenRouter API key](https://openrouter.ai/keys).
First, install aider:
{% include install.md %}
Then configure your API keys:
```
export OPENROUTER_API_KEY=<key> # Mac/Linux
setx OPENROUTER_API_KEY <key> # Windows, restart shell after setx
```
Start working with aider and OpenRouter on your codebase:
```bash
# Change directory into your codebase
cd /to/your/project
# Or any other open router model
aider --model openrouter/<provider>/<model>
# List models available from OpenRouter
aider --list-models openrouter/
```
In particular, many aider users access Sonnet via OpenRouter:
{: .tip }
If you get errors, check your
[OpenRouter privacy settings](https://openrouter.ai/settings/privacy).
Be sure to "enable providers that may train on inputs"
to allow use of all models.
## Controlling provider selection
OpenRouter often has multiple providers serving each model.
You can control which OpenRouter providers are used for your requests in two ways:
1. By "ignoring" certain providers in your
[OpenRouter account settings](https://openrouter.ai/settings/preferences).
This disables those named providers across all the models that you access via OpenRouter.
2. By configuring "provider routing" in a `.aider.model.settings.yml` file.
Place that file in your home directory or the root of your git project, with
entries like this:
```yaml
- name: openrouter/anthropic/claude-3.7-sonnet
extra_params:
extra_body:
provider:
# Only use these providers, in this order
order: ["Anthropic", "Together"]
# Don't fall back to other providers
allow_fallbacks: false
# Skip providers that may train on inputs
data_collection: "deny"
# Only use providers supporting all parameters
require_parameters: true
```
See [OpenRouter's provider routing docs](https://openrouter.ai/docs/provider-routing) for full details on these settings.
See [Advanced model settings](https://aider.chat/docs/config/adv-model-settings.html#model-settings)
for more details about model settings files.
