✨ OpenRouter - API Caching Features
This article details the new API caching features introduced by OpenRouter, designed to optimize performance and manage rate limits across various API endpoints. The caching mechanism offers fine-grained control and broad compatibility.
Key Points:
• OpenRouter introduces API caching to improve response times and reduce provider rate limit consumption.
• Users can control cache lifetime with X-OpenRouter-Cache-TTL and clear specific entries with X-OpenRouter-Cache-Clear.
• Cache hits do not count against provider rate limits, as requests do not reach upstream providers.
• Caching is scoped per API key, ensuring isolation between different keys under the same account.
• The feature supports /chat/completions, /responses, /messages, and /embeddings for both streaming and non-streaming calls.
🚀 Implementation:
- Set Cache TTL: Use the
X-OpenRouter-Cache-TTLheader to define cache entry lifetime (1 sec to 24 hrs). - Clear Cache Entry: Employ the
X-OpenRouter-Cache-Clearheader to invalidate a specific cache entry. - Enable via Preset: Set
cache_enabled: trueon a preset for automatic caching.
