Create any missing folders. Already have `config.yaml`? Add these entries under its existing `models:` list instead of replacing the file. [Download config](https://routerhub.si/docs/downloads/routerhub-continue-models.yaml). - ## Step 2: Save your API key Replace the placeholder with your RouterHub key, without quotes: .env ``` ROUTERHUB_API_KEY=PASTE_ROUTERHUB_KEY_HERE ``` ### macOS / Linux Save as `~/.continue/.env`. ### Windows Save as `%USERPROFILE%/.continue/.env`. All models use this one key. Keep this file private. - ## Step 3: Open Continue Restart VS Code. In Continue, choose Local Config, then RouterHub · your chosen model in the model picker. Use Chat mode. **Need to install Continue?** Install the official [Continue extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Continue.continue) in VS Code, then open its sidebar. **Check the connection (optional)** When you’re ready to use credits, open an empty project and send this short test: Reply with OK. Do not read files, run commands, or make edits. Open [RouterHub usage](https://routerhub.si/dashboard/usage) and check that the request appears under the right model. Keep auto-approval off while testing. A text reply checks the connection, not all coding features. ## Troubleshooting **A slow request times out** Every generated model entry includes `requestOptions.timeout: 600`. Continue measures this setting in seconds, so do not copy OpenCode’s `600000` value here. Preserve the indentation under each model and restart VS Code. This is an API request setting, not a tool-execution deadline. Inspect Usage and the request ID before manually retrying. **The YAML has an error or the model is missing** Use spaces, not tabs. Keep the entry inside `models:` and preserve the file’s name, version, schema, and other models. Select Local Config. **Invalid key or 404** Keep `provider: openai` and `apiBase: https://routerhub.si/v1`. Check the exact model ID, key, and availability. Keep the user `.env` private, restart the IDE after changes, and check for a conflicting workspace secret. Do not append `/chat/completions`. **Autocomplete or Agent mode is unavailable** This setup only configures the chat role. Test that connection before adding other roles or claiming tool-call support. Still stuck? [Contact support](https://routerhub.si/dashboard/support). ## Common questions **Why does the provider say openai?** It selects Continue’s compatible client. apiBase sends requests to RouterHub, and billing uses your RouterHub key—not an OpenAI account. **Does this cover JetBrains?** These UI steps are for VS Code. Continue also supports JetBrains; consult its official installation guide for that interface.
