Use the exact API model ID claude-sonnet-4-6. This guide describes the platform contract; check the live catalog before calling the model.

Availability

An active catalog record means the model is configured; it does not guarantee an available channel. Before integration, check lifecycle, health.status and contract in GET /v1/public-model-catalog. Account pricing is shown in the dashboard. If supply is unavailable, wait for recovery or explicitly select another model. Do not repeatedly submit requests with an unknown outcome.

Request example

The platform origin is filled in at build time. Set API_KEY to your server-side key before running.

curl "https://newrouters.com/v1/messages" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "x-api-key: $API_KEY" \
  -H "anthropic-version: 2023-06-01" \
  --data '{
  "model": "claude-sonnet-4-6",
  "max_tokens": 1024,
  "messages": [
    {
      "role": "user",
      "content": "Explain how an HTTP request works in three concise steps."
    }
  ],
  "stream": false
}'

Limit	Catalog value
