How to integrate RouterLink in ChatboxAI
Overview
This tutorial guides you through integrating RouterLinkโWORLD3's decentralized AI model routing infrastructureโwith ChatboxAI, a versatile AI client application available across multiple platforms.
Purpose
RouterLink provides a unified API endpoint that routes requests to multiple AI model providers through a decentralized network. By integrating RouterLink with ChatboxAI, you gain access to a diverse range of large language models (LLMs) without managing multiple API keys or provider-specific configurations.
What You Will Learn
By completing this tutorial, you will:
Configure ChatboxAI to connect with RouterLink's API endpoint
Authenticate using your RouterLink API credentials
Add and manage AI models available through the RouterLink network
Execute inference requests through ChatboxAI's conversational interface
Prerequisites
Before proceeding, ensure you have:
A RouterLink API key (obtain one from the Quick Start Guide)
A web browser with internet access
Basic familiarity with API configuration concepts
Introduction to ChatboxAI

API Mode
Select the appropriate API mode
API Key
Your RouterLink API key from the Quick Start Guide
Step 3: Retrieve Model Configuration from RouterLink
For this tutorial, we will configure Claude Opus 4.5 model via RouterLink.
Visit the RouterLink model page at Claude Opus 4.5 to access the integration details.
Select "OpenAI" as the integration format.
The following configuration details will be displayed:
Copy the Endpoint value and paste it into the API Host field in ChatboxAI.
Step 4: Add the Model
Click the "+ New" button to add a new model.
Copy the model identifier from the RouterLink website and paste it into the model field:
Click the "Test Model" button to verify the connection. Upon successful validation, "Test successful" will be displayed in green.
After clicking the "Save" button, the model will be registered in your provider configuration.
Click the blue "Check" button to complete the configuration verification. All connections should display "successful" status.
Step 5: Initiate a Conversation
Click "Select Model" in the bottom-right corner and choose the RouterLink model you just configured.
Enter your desired prompt to confirm the integration is functioning correctly.
Summary
You have successfully integrated RouterLink with ChatboxAI. You can now:
Send prompts to various AI models through RouterLink's decentralized routing network
Switch between different models available on the RouterLink platform
Leverage ChatboxAI's interface features while utilizing RouterLink's infrastructure
For advanced configuration options, model availability, and API documentation, visit the RouterLink Documentation.
Troubleshooting
