LobeChat and Open WebUI

Integration status
  • Recommended protocol: OpenAI Chat Completions
  • Configuration checked: July 15, 2026
  • Runtime verification: Depends on the deployed application and version

These applications can be deployed in many ways, so environment variables, admin UI labels, and configuration ownership vary.

Generic connection

Provider: GetRouter / OpenAI-compatible
API key: YOUR_API_KEY
OpenAI Base URL: https://getrouter.ai/v1
Model: MODEL_ID

Important checks

  • Determine whether the connection runs in the browser or on the application server.
  • Store the key server-side whenever possible.
  • Confirm the app does not append /v1 twice.
  • Add MODEL_ID manually if model discovery is disabled.
  • Restart containers or services after changing environment-based configuration.
  • Test one text request before enabling tools, retrieval, images, or multi-user access.

Use the exact configuration names documented by your installed LobeChat or Open WebUI release. Do not expose the GetRouter key in public client-side configuration.
