OpenClaw Integration

What is OpenClaw?

OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant that runs locally on your machine (Mac, Windows, Linux). It can automate tasks, manage files, handle email and calendar, and supports extensions and plugins. OpenClaw is compatible with the OpenAI API, so you can point it at Routify to access any model from the catalog through a single gateway.

Setup

Step 1: Get Your Routify API Key

Sign up or log in at routify.ru
Create a new API key
Copy your key (starts with sk-...)

Step 2: Add Routify as a Provider

Open ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json and add Routify as a custom provider:

{
  env: { ROUTIFY_API_KEY: "sk-..." },
  models: {
    mode: "merge",
    providers: {
      routify: {
        baseUrl: "https://api.routify.ru/v1",
        apiKey: "${ROUTIFY_API_KEY}",
        api: "openai-completions",
        models: [
          {
            id: "openai/gpt-5.4",
            name: "GPT-5.4",
            reasoning: false,
            input: ["text"],
            contextWindow: 1000000,
            maxTokens: 32000
          },
          {
            id: "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6",
            name: "Claude Sonnet 4.6",
            reasoning: false,
            input: ["text"],
            contextWindow: 200000,
            maxTokens: 16000
          },
          {
            id: "google/gemini-2.5-pro",
            name: "Gemini 2.5 Pro",
            reasoning: true,
            input: ["text"],
            contextWindow: 1000000,
            maxTokens: 65536
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  },
  agents: {
    defaults: {
      model: { primary: "routify/openai/gpt-5.4" }
    }
  }
}

The API key is stored in the env section and substituted via ${ROUTIFY_API_KEY}. Do not hardcode the key directly in apiKey.

Step 3: Choose Your Default Model

Set your preferred model in agents.defaults.model.primary using the format routify/<model-id>:

agents: {
  defaults: {
    model: { primary: "routify/openai/gpt-5.4" }
  }
}

Popular models for OpenClaw:

Model	ID	Description
GPT-5.4	`openai/gpt-5.4`	OpenAI flagship model
GPT-5.4 Mini	`openai/gpt-5.4-mini`	Fast and cost-efficient
Claude Sonnet 4.6	`anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6`	Strong Anthropic model
Gemini 2.5 Pro	`google/gemini-2.5-pro`	Google model with reasoning

Browse all available models at routify.ru/models.

Step 4: Launch OpenClaw

openclaw

OpenClaw will now route requests through Routify.

Adding Models

To add a new model, append an object to the models array in your routify provider:

{
  id: "deepseek/deepseek-r1",
  name: "DeepSeek R1",
  reasoning: true,
  input: ["text"],
  contextWindow: 131072,
  maxTokens: 32000
}

Key fields:

Field	Description
`id`	Model ID from the Routify catalog
`name`	Display name
`reasoning`	`true` for reasoning models (o-series, DeepSeek R1, Gemini with thinking)
`input`	Input types: `["text"]` or `["text", "image"]`
`contextWindow`	Context window size
`maxTokens`	Maximum output tokens

Reliability and Failover

Routify automatically routes requests across available providers. If a provider is unavailable, requests fail over to another upstream without changes to your OpenClaw configuration.

Common Errors

Authentication errors (401/403)

Fix:

Verify your API key is valid at routify.ru/settings
Check that you have sufficient balance
Ensure your key hasn’t been revoked

Model not found (404)

Fix:

Verify the model ID in the Routify catalog
Use the <provider>/<model> format (e.g., openai/gpt-5.4)
Make sure the model is listed in the models array of your provider config in OpenClaw
