Available Operations

• get_rankings_daily - Daily token totals for top 50 models

get_rankings_daily

Returns the top 50 public models per day by total token usage on OpenRouter, plus a single aggregated other row per day that sums every model outside that top 50. Token totals are prompt_tokens + completion_tokens, matching the public rankings chart on openrouter.ai/rankings.

Each row is a distinct (date, model_permaslug) pair. The other row uses the reserved permaslug other and is always returned last within its date, so callers can compute top-50 traffic / total daily traffic without a second request.

Authenticate with any valid OpenRouter API key (same key used for inference). Rate-limited to 30 requests/minute per key and 500 requests/day per account.

When republishing or quoting this dataset, OpenRouter must be cited as: “Source: OpenRouter (openrouter.ai/rankings), as of {as_of}.”

Token counts come from each upstream provider’s own tokenizer (Anthropic counts are as reported by Anthropic, OpenAI counts are as reported by OpenAI, etc.), so a token in one row is not directly comparable to a token in another row from a different provider.

Example Usage

from openrouter import OpenRouter
import os

with OpenRouter(
    http_referer="<value>",
    x_open_router_title="<value>",
    x_open_router_categories="<value>",
    api_key=os.getenv("OPENROUTER_API_KEY", ""),
) as open_router:

    res = open_router.datasets.get_rankings_daily()

    # Handle response
    print(res)

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description	Example
http_referer	Optional[str]	:heavy_minus_sign:	The app identifier should be your app’s URL and is used as the primary identifier for rankings. This is used to track API usage per application.
x_open_router_title	Optional[str]	:heavy_minus_sign:	The app display name allows you to customize how your app appears in OpenRouter’s dashboard.
x_open_router_categories	Optional[str]	:heavy_minus_sign:	Comma-separated list of app categories (e.g. “cli-agent,cloud-agent”). Used for marketplace rankings.
start_date	Optional[str]	:heavy_minus_sign:	Start of the date window in YYYY-MM-DD (UTC), inclusive. Defaults to 30 days before end_date. The dataset begins at 2025-01-01; earlier values are clamped forward to that floor and the resolved value is echoed in meta.start_date.	2026-04-12
end_date	Optional[str]	:heavy_minus_sign:	End of the date window in YYYY-MM-DD (UTC), inclusive. Defaults to the most recent completed UTC day. Must be on or after 2025-01-01; earlier values are rejected with a 400.	2026-05-11
retries	Optional[utils.RetryConfig]	:heavy_minus_sign:	Configuration to override the default retry behavior of the client.
