4 with OpenRouter(
5     http_referer="<value>",
6     x_open_router_title="<value>",
7     x_open_router_categories="<value>",
8     api_key=os.getenv("OPENROUTER_API_KEY", ""),
9 ) as open_router:
10 
11     res = open_router.embeddings.generate(input="<value>", model="Taurus")
12 
13     # Handle response
14     print(res)

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`input`	operations.InputUnion	✔️	N/A
`model`	str	✔️	N/A
