# OpenRouter Broadcast

[OpenRouter](https://openrouter.ai) is an AI API router that provides a unified interface for accessing multiple LLM providers. OpenRouter's [Broadcast feature](https://openrouter.ai/docs/guides/features/broadcast/sentry) lets you send traces from your LLM requests to Sentry via the OpenTelemetry (OTLP) format.

OpenRouter's Broadcast feature is currently in beta. The configuration and features may change.

## [Prerequisites](https://docs.sentry.io/product/drains/openrouter.md#prerequisites)

Before you begin, ensure you have:

* An OpenRouter account with API access
* A Sentry project you want to send data to

## [Step 1: Get your Sentry OTLP endpoint and DSN](https://docs.sentry.io/product/drains/openrouter.md#step-1-get-your-sentry-otlp-endpoint-and-dsn)

1. In Sentry, navigate to your [Sentry Project Settings](https://sentry.io/settings/projects/)
2. Go to **Client Keys (DSN)** and click on the **OpenTelemetry** tab
3. Copy the **OTLP Traces Endpoint** URL (ends with `/v1/traces`):

```bash
___OTLP_TRACES_URL___
```

4. Copy your **DSN** from the same page:

```bash
___DSN___
```

## [Step 2: Enable Broadcast in OpenRouter](https://docs.sentry.io/product/drains/openrouter.md#step-2-enable-broadcast-in-openrouter)

1. Log in to your OpenRouter account
2. Go to [Settings > Broadcast](https://openrouter.ai/settings/broadcast)
3. Toggle **Enable Broadcast** to turn on the feature

## [Step 3: Configure Sentry destination](https://docs.sentry.io/product/drains/openrouter.md#step-3-configure-sentry-destination)

1. Click the edit icon next to **Sentry**
2. Enter your **OTLP Traces Endpoint** (e.g., `https://o123.ingest.us.sentry.io/api/456/integration/otlp/v1/traces`)
3. Enter your **Sentry DSN** (e.g., `https://abc123@o123.ingest.us.sentry.io/456`)

## [Step 4: Test and save](https://docs.sentry.io/product/drains/openrouter.md#step-4-test-and-save)

1. Click **Test Connection** to verify the setup
2. The configuration only saves if the test passes

## [Step 5: Verify traces in Sentry](https://docs.sentry.io/product/drains/openrouter.md#step-5-verify-traces-in-sentry)

Make an API request through OpenRouter and view the trace in Sentry's [Trace Explorer](https://docs.sentry.io/product/explore/trace-explorer.md). It may take a few minutes for traces to appear.
