Endpoints and Regions

Most users only need the default API endpoint:

https://api.akarouter.com/v1

The default endpoint handles backend routing. You do not need to maintain hidden provider URLs in your own client.

If the console shows regional endpoints, you can choose one that better matches where your service runs. Regional endpoints are useful when:

  • Your service is deployed in a specific region and you want to reduce network routing distance.
  • You want to keep test traffic on one region.
  • The console or support team recommends a temporary regional endpoint.
  1. Use https://api.akarouter.com/v1 by default.
  2. Switch to a regional endpoint only when it is shown in the console, announced publicly, or recommended by support.
  3. Keep the same API key, model name, and request format after switching.
  4. If the switch is temporary, you can move back to the default endpoint after the issue is resolved.

If you need a service reachability check, request:

Terminal window
curl -fsS https://api.akarouter.com/health

This only checks whether the API entry point is reachable. It does not guarantee that every model is available. Use the Model Status page and actual API responses for model availability.
