parseModelsDevData

fromModelsDev() fetches and parses in one call. If you’ve already fetched the models.dev JSON yourself (through your own caching layer, a CDN, or a build step), parseModelsDevData() gives you just the parsing half. Same output, no fetch.

Signature

function parseModelsDevData(data: ModelsDevData): Model[]

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
data	ModelsDevData	Raw models.dev API response.

Returns

Model[]: parsed model array. Handles snake_case to camelCase conversion, derives openRouterId, resolves sdk from provider npm field.

Usage

import { parseModelsDevData, type ModelsDevData } from "pickai";
import { readFileSync } from "fs";

// You fetched https://models.dev/api.json and saved it locally
const data: ModelsDevData = JSON.parse(readFileSync("models-dev-cache.json", "utf-8"));
const models = parseModelsDevData(data);
