PureRouter Installation

PureRouter is a completely independent product from PureCPP. You can use PureRouter without needing PureCPP and vice versa.

​
Requirements

Before installing PureRouter, make sure you have:
  • Python 3.8 or higher
  • pip (Python package manager)
  • An account on the PureAI platform with a valid API key

​
Installation via pip

The simplest way to install PureRouter is using pip: 
pip install purerouter

​
Verifying Installation

To verify that PureRouter was installed correctly, you can run: 
pip list | grep purerouter
You should see the purerouter package listed with its current version.

​
Initial Configuration

After installation, you’ll need to configure the client with your API key: 
from purerouter import PureRouter
from purerouter.types import InferRequest, InvokeRequest

# Initialize the client with your router API key
client = PureRouter(router_key="your-api-key-here")

# Test the connection
response = client.router.infer(InferRequest(prompt="Hello, world!", profile="economy"))
print(response.output_text)
You need to obtain a valid API key from the PureAI platform. This key allows access to the different routing profiles and deployments configured in your account.
