No OpenAPI document, status page, changelog or published rate limits were found. Signup needs a US business email in a browser, and Ramp records prompts and outputs for a year by default unless switched off.\n\n**StepFun API.** StepFun's API serves Step 5 Preview with a 1M-token context, video input, strict JSON Schema output and published per-token prices, documented in Markdown with an llms.txt. The model is a preview with no release date found, there's no free allowance or SLA, and the terms and privacy policy leave room to train on customer data.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Router.com (Ramp Router)\n\n1. Switch off content recording in Settings before sending private data. It is on by default and keeps prompts and outputs for a year\n2. Read model ids from `GET /v1/models` at runtime. Ids are account-specific, an unknown one is a 404, and Gemini ids need your own Google key\n3. Use `POST /v1/responses` with a `models` list for fallbacks. Router stops falling back once a stream has started\n4. Set `fallback_timeout` and `provider_timeout`, or `allow_flex_tier: false`, when latency matters. Flex routing is on by default\n5. Treat both `401 invalid_api_key` and `401 api_key_deactivated` as a possibly locked key, and stop retrying on `402`\n\n### StepFun API\n\n1. Set `max_tokens` yourself. It defaults to unlimited on Step 5 Preview, and reasoning tokens are billed as output\n2. Use `response_format` with `type: json_schema` and `strict: true` when the shape matters. JSON Mode alone isn't schema-checked\n3. Back off and retry on 429, 500, 503 and 504. The docs give no Retry-After header or backoff schedule\n4. Expect HTTP 451 or `finish_reason: content_filter` when content fails StepFun's review, and don't retry the same input\n5. Use api.stepfun.ai for the international platform. api.stepfun.com is the China platform with yuan pricing\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Router.com (Ramp Router) or StepFun API?\n\nRouter.com (Ramp Router) scores 54.5 (C) on agent readiness against StepFun API's 44.4 (E), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Do Router.com (Ramp Router) and StepFun API need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Router.com (Ramp Router) and StepFun API without installing anything?\n\nYes. Router.com (Ramp Router) has a hosted endpoint at https://api.router.com/v1 and StepFun API at https://api.stepfun.ai/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/ramp-router-vs-stepfun-api.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/ramp-router-vs-stepfun-api.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"ramp-router\", \"b\": \"stepfun-api\"}`.
