Router Apiserver API Reference
The router apiserver is the HTTP control and utility surface served on port 8080. It exposes health and readiness endpoints, OpenAI-compatible model listing, model introspection, direct classification utilities, and router config management APIs. Use this surface for operational checks, debugging, calibration loops, and config lifecycle actions outside the Envoy data path.
API Endpoints
Base URL
http://localhost:8080
Server Status
The router apiserver runs alongside the main Semantic Router ExtProc server:
- Router Apiserver:
http://localhost:8080(HTTP REST API) - ExtProc Server:
http://localhost:50051(gRPC for Envoy integration) - Metrics Server:
http://localhost:9190(Prometheus metrics)

Port 8801 (Envoy public entry)
- Typically proxies
POST /v1/chat/completionsto upstream LLMs while invoking ExtProc (50051). - You can expose
GET /v1/modelsat 8801 by adding an Envoy route that forwards torouter:8080.
- Typically proxies
-
Port 50051 (ExtProc, gRPC)
- Used by Envoy for external processing of requests; not an HTTP endpoint.

Port 9190 (Prometheus)
GET /metrics
Start the server with:
make run-router
