Request example

The platform origin is filled in at build time. Set API_KEY to your server-side key before running.

curl "https://newrouters.com/v1/messages" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "x-api-key: $API_KEY" \
  -H "anthropic-version: 2023-06-01" \
  --data '{
  "model": "claude-opus-5-5",
  "max_tokens": 1024,
  "messages": [
    {
      "role": "user",
      "content": "Explain how an HTTP request works in three concise steps."
    }
  ],
  "stream": false
}'

Protocol and response

Platform route limits come from /v1/models and may be lower than the official model specifications. The official model uses always-on adaptive thinking and rejects disabled thinking or forced tool selection; review the native parameter rules when upgrading.

This model uses the claude protocol. Read its native response and usage fields; do not wrap the request in the media task input envelope.

Supported endpoint templates：

POST /v1/messages
POST /v1/messages/count_tokens

Limit	Catalog value
Context tokens	128000
Maximum output tokens	64000

For streaming, use the native protocol streaming option and parse its events; check supported capabilities in the live catalog.
