## Overview

Benchmarks endpoints

### Available Operations

* [get_benchmarks](#get_benchmarks) - List Benchmarks

## get_benchmarks

Unified benchmark endpoint that aggregates scores from multiple benchmark sources (Artificial Analysis, Design Arena). Filter by source to reproduce the exact shapes from the legacy per-source endpoints, or use task_type to find models suited for specific workloads. Authenticate with any valid OpenRouter API key. Rate-limited to 30 requests/minute per key and 500 requests/day per account.

### Example Usage

```python
from openrouter import OpenRouter
import os


with OpenRouter(
    http_referer="<value>",
    x_open_router_title="<value>",
    x_open_router_categories="<value>",
    api_key=os.getenv("OPENROUTER_API_KEY", ""),
) as open_router:

    res = open_router.benchmarks.get_benchmarks()

    # Handle response
    print(res)

```
