Usage
# Full 30-day summary with credits balance
python3 ~/.claude/skills/openrouter-usage/scripts/openrouter_usage.py
# Filter to a single date
python3 ~/.claude/skills/openrouter-usage/scripts/openrouter_usage.py --date 2026-02-01
# Export as CSV (for spreadsheets)
python3 ~/.claude/skills/openrouter-usage/scripts/openrouter_usage.py --csv
# Raw JSON output (for piping to jq)
python3 ~/.claude/skills/openrouter-usage/scripts/openrouter_usage.py --json
# Skip credits lookup (activity only)
python3 ~/.claude/skills/openrouter-usage/scripts/openrouter_usage.py --no-credits
Output
The default report includes:
- Credits balance: total purchased, used, remaining
- Spend by model: per-model cost with token counts (prompt, completion, reasoning)
- Spend by provider: aggregated by provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.)
- Spend by date: daily spend with visual bar chart
API Endpoints
Both endpoints are read-only GETs authenticated via Bearer token:
| Endpoint | Purpose |
|---|---|
GET /api/v1/credits | Total credits purchased and used |
GET /api/v1/activity | Last 30 days of usage grouped by model/endpoint/provider |
The activity endpoint returns per-row: date, model, provider_name, usage, byok_usage_inference, requests, prompt_tokens, completion_tokens, reasoning_tokens.
