Pordl App Setup

Connect any OpenAI-compatible application to PORDL as its model backend by setting a custom base URL. Use this skill when the user wants to point a chat UI, coding assistant, or writing tool (Open WebUI, LibreChat, Continue, Cline, Aider, Obsidian AI plugins, or anything built on the OpenAI SDK) at a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint, or asks how to use PORDL inside an existing app.

PORDL App Setup

Point any OpenAI-compatible app at PORDL in under five minutes. One key, flat monthly pricing, automatic model routing.

Agent Instructions

Walk the user through one step at a time and confirm each step succeeded before continuing. Never ask the user to paste their API key into chat — have them enter it directly in the app's settings or set it as an environment variable. If the connection fails, work through the Troubleshooting section in order.

The Universal Setup

Any app that supports a custom OpenAI endpoint works with PORDL:

Base URL: https://api.pordl.dev/v1
API Key: the user's pd_live_ key from https://api.pordl.dev (free tier: 100K credits/month, no card required)
Model: auto (PORDL picks the best model per request), or any model from https://api.pordl.dev/v1/models

App-Specific Notes

Open WebUI

Settings → Connections → OpenAI API → set the base URL and key above. Models populate automatically.

LibreChat

Add a custom endpoint in librechat.yaml with baseURL: https://api.pordl.dev/v1 and apiKey: ${PORDL_API_KEY}.

Continue / Cline / Aider (coding assistants)

Configure an OpenAI-compatible provider with the base URL above. For coding, routing_mode: "balanced" (the default) sends simple completions to budget models and complex refactors to stronger ones.

Anything on the OpenAI SDK

python

from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(api_key="pd_live_...", base_url="https://api.pordl.dev/v1")

Recommended Settings

Streaming: on — responses render as they generate.
Context size: match the selected model's limit (see /v1/models); 8K–32K is practical for most chat sessions.
Max response length: 400–600 tokens for chat pacing; 1500+ for long-form drafting.

Troubleshooting

"Could not connect" or "Invalid API key"

Key should start with pd_live_
Base URL must be exactly https://api.pordl.dev/v1 (with /v1)
Check account status at https://api.pordl.dev

Responses are slow

Use auto or a budget model; reduce context size if set very high
Confirm streaming is enabled

Hit the monthly credit limit

PORDL tiers have a hard cap by default — no overage bills. Upgrade or buy a one-time top-up at https://api.pordl.dev/pricing.
