Under the hood, it uses the OpenAI Python library to connect to OpenRouter, enabling easy integration and automation of chat-based workflows.\n\n\n\n## Features\n- Simple CLI for sending and receiving chat messages in the command line.\n- Easily configurable for different models using the `-m` or `--model` command-line options.\n- Supports API key authentication and basic message formatting (plain text, and limited markdown such as bold and italics).\n\n## Usage\n1. Clone the repository or copy the script to your local machine.\n2. Run the script using Python:\n   ```zsh\n   python3 chat_cli.py\n\n\n   ```\n\n3. Follow the prompts to send messages or automate chat interactions.\n\n## Requirements\n- Python 3.7+\n- Any required dependencies (see script for details)\n\n## Getting Started\n\n1. **Install Python**  \n   Download and install Python 3.7 or newer from [python.org](https://www.python.org/downloads/).\n\n2. **Set Up a Virtual Environment (Recommended)**  \n   Open your terminal and run:\n   ```sh\n   python -m venv venv\n   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows use: venv\\Scripts\\activate\n   ```\n\n3. **Install Dependencies**  \n   If your script uses a `requirements.txt` file, install dependencies with:\n   ```sh\n   pip install -r requirements.txt\n   ```\n\n## Configuration\nYou can modify the script to point to your desired chat API endpoint and adjust authentication as needed.\n\n## Basic Commands\n\nBefore running any commands, **change your directory** to where the script is located. For example, if you saved the script in a folder called `open_router_script`, use:\n```sh\ncd /path/to/open_router_script\n```\nReplace `/path/to/open_router_script` with the actual path where you stored the script.\n\nAfter setting up your environment, you can run the script using the following commands:\n\n### 1. Run with a Question\n```sh\npython3 chat_cli.py \"Your question here\"\n```\nBy default, the script uses the model specified in the `MODEL` environment variable (if set). If not set, it uses the script's internal default.\n\n### 2. Specify an API Key\nSet your OpenRouter API key before running the script:\n```sh\nexport OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-your-api-key\n```\nThis is required for authentication.\n\n### 3. Specify a Model\nOverride the default model by using the `-m` or `--model` option:\n```sh\npython3 chat_cli.py -m meta-llama/llama-3.1-8b-instruct \"Your question here\"\n```\n\n### 4. Get Help\nShow all available options and usage:\n```sh\npython3 chat_cli.py -h\n```\n\n### 5. Check Version\nDisplay the script version:\n```sh\npython3 chat_cli.py --version\n```\n## Further reading\n * Retrieves the API key from the environment variables.\n * Beginner: If you're new to handling API keys, consider the following:\n * - You can create an alias in your shell profile (e.g., `.bashrc`, `.zshrc`) to quickly set or retrieve your API key.\n * - Explore secure storage solutions such as password managers, encrypted files, or secret management services (e.g., HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager).\n * - Avoid hardcoding API keys in your source code or sharing them publicly.\n * - For more information, see:\n *   - [How to manage API keys securely](https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/how-to-securely-store-api-keys-4d9e7f1c2f5e/)\n *   - [Environment variables best practices](https://12factor.net/config)\n *   - [GitHub: Keeping secrets safe](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/creating-and-storing-encrypted-secrets)\n \n## License\nMIT License\n\n## Author\nletuscode\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjwill9999%2Fopen-router-script","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fjwill9999%2Fopen-router-script","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjwill9999%2Fopen-router-script/lists"}
